Beyond Renewal to Authentic Revival – GPS Podcast | Season 7 | Episode 11
James Goll, in this Global Prayer Storm podcast, discusses moving beyond renewal into authentic revival.
Our scriptures references are Habakkuk 3:2 and Isaiah 64:1-4, emphasizing the need for a deep and transformative revival rather than just moments of spiritual refreshing.
James outlines five classic characteristics of revival:
1. A Passionate Denunciation of Sin – True revival includes a strong confrontation of sin, as seen in historic revivals and preachers like George Whitefield.
2. A Revelation of God’s Holiness – Revival brings a profound awareness of God’s holiness, moving beyond legalism to divine revelation.
3. A Deep Awareness of God’s Love and Mercy – Revival is not just about conviction but also about experiencing God’s love, as seen in ministries like D.L. Moody’s.
4. A Heightened Consciousness of Eternity – Many modern churches fail to preach about heaven and hell, but revival restores urgency about eternal matters.
5. Experiential Conviction of Sin – True revival leads to deep personal conviction of sin, something that hyper-grace theology often neglects.
James also shares testimonies, including an encounter where he repeatedly prophesied that a man was “going to hell.” That man later had a near-death experience, spent 23 minutes in hell, and wrote a book about it. Goll shares that revival restores the full gospel message, including the reality of eternity and the necessity of repentance.
