Ghost of Revivals PastApproximately 102 Pages~~~Excerpt~~~As long as the church exists in this world, there will be:.           the real and the unreal.           the true and the untrue.           the genuine and the false.           the working of God.           the workings of Satan.
Revival and a counterfeit of revival will be around until the church is raptured. Responsibility to know the difference and to embrace the true while rejecting the false rests, with the church. Counterfeits are made to resemble the true article as much as possible for the sake of deception. It is a simple thing to see clearly the religious counterfeits of the past. History and time have proved them false.
Persons and movements that were not of God have come to naught. The present is a different story. The convenience of knowing the end results of the many and varied movements that confront this generation is not available. History can be read. The future must be experienced. Today's future is tomorrow's past. Only one opportunity is given to live any one day. No day has ever existed twice. When it is gone, it is gone.
The clock of time cannot be turned back. A day lived with deceit is lost forever. Therefore, it is extremely important to know the truth. Ability to discern the spirits of this world and to be able to execute righteous judgment is not an option. It is a necessity. Narrow mindedness leads to disaster by causing a denial of everything. Broad mindedness leads to trouble by accepting everything that comes along.
Both of these will hinder the soul. The prayer of every person desirous of real revival should be to become broad minded enough to accept truth and narrow minded enough to reject error.
