Women - flowing in the prophetic on a global scale

Posted January 30th, 2012 by Steve Gray

Arise 2012 Women’s Conference was a great weekend. One of my favorites, actually, as I watched Kathy flow in a new level of anointing and the prophetic – and brought other women along with her in this “arising.”

Sunday’s interactive service at World Revival Church topped the weekend as we connected globally to 8 churches. Women from several continents took their place in the prophetic, speaking into the lives of each represented congregation.

The problem with Christianity (or what it means to be a Christian)

Posted January 26th, 2012 by Steve Gray

What does it mean to be a Christian? I think revival helps us define what true Christianity really looks like. It’s not the “calmed down and cooled off” kind of living that’s found in many churches.

True Christianity is all about the supremacy of Jesus Christ in your life. Yes, God loves you, but this is not about you.

The message of the hour that will change the course of a church, a nation, a marriage – is that Jesus reigns supreme. He is the King.

Numbers don't tell it all

Posted January 16th, 2012 by Steve Gray

One thing I’ve learned in revival is that numbers don’t tell it all. “How many people do you have in your church?” is not the question we should be asking.

What we should be looking at is, “How much work of the Holy Spirit is going on?” How many lives are being touched and transformed by God’s amazing presence?

We need the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It’s what changes people’s lives!

A prophetic look at 2012 and beyond

Posted January 3rd, 2012 by Steve Gray

I believe the year 2012 is going to be a year of increased influence for those willing to pay the cost for revival. I shared a message from 2 Corinthians this past Sunday at World Revival Church and want to share the reason why it’s important for us to increase…

I believe in 2011 we saw the end of an era. Dictators came down, governments were overturned. As we enter 2012, the players on the world scene are changing.

Think of it. In 2011 Greece, Italy, Ireland and Spain all changed hands. The governments in Egypt and Libya toppled and major players in these governments passed away.

Secrets of life in the Christmas story

Posted December 22nd, 2011 by Steve Gray

Are you ready for Christmas? Amidst the shopping and the busyness, take a little time to glean these secrets from the Christmas story…

The Magi from the East were not Jewish, yet they followed the star and bowed down to worship the King of the Jews. Somehow they knew he was worthy of their gifts and their worship.

The shepherds were considered lowly, yet the angels gave a glorious display for them. Sent from God to common people, they shared their good news with hopes the shepherds would respond.

Something God will attend - and a big thanks!

Posted December 16th, 2011 by Steve Gray

Ever since Kathy and I entered ministry, our goal all along has been to create a church God likes to attend. We’ve centered everything around him at World Revival Church so he’ll come down and be with us.

Life is too big to live without help from heaven, and if we can get God in our midst, then everybody has access to the help they need!

It’s the same way with our movies, Three Blind Saints - and the new one called “Something to Believe.” My goal? To produce movies God will attend. Something that will draw him near and connect the viewers to his presence.

Unlikely people lead the way

Posted November 29th, 2011 by Steve Gray

God likes to use unlikely people. He sent a fisherman to reach the scholarly Jews and he sent a scholarly Jew to reach the Gentiles. When God can’t find the “likely” people to do his work, he’ll go to the ones that are willing.

That’s the basis for my movie Three Blind Saints that premieres on December 13 in Kansas City. It’s a great comedy slant on religion that’s not working – and the unlikely people God sends to fix it.

Get over the obstacles with faith

Posted November 23rd, 2011 by Steve Gray

Dreaming of doing big things for God? Waiting for someone to tell you to go for it? Here’s my word for you:

Throw off what hinders you and run this race at full speed!

What’s stopping you from fulfilling the dream God’s put in your heart? What’s hindering you from moving toward the vision with faith and purpose?

Don’t tell me the power of power of God isn’t big enough to overcome the obstacles! All you have to do is walk by faith and welcome into your life everything God wants to do.

Israel: Good news and a movie

Posted November 15th, 2011 by Steve Gray

How many times do you hear of good news for Israel? Typically we hear of rockets and bombing and nuclear warfare… and from the Christian corner it’s mostly about end times destruction and who’s going to be left behind.

My job is not to bring an end-time message to Jewish people. My job is to bring a message of good news. I want to be the “beautiful feet” the Bible refers to that bring hope and life to Israel.

God has a plan for the Jews. Anyone, anytime, anywhere, that calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

You can walk by faith (a revival teaching)

Posted November 8th, 2011 by Steve Gray

Yep, you can do it. If you can walk in fear, then you can walk in faith! Both come from a belief system.

God didn’t wire you to be afraid. His original wiring for your life was to live a life of faith.

But just like everything else, Adam and Eve’s sin twisted faith into fear. The end result was that everybody’s got it now. Nobody has to teach you to be afraid.

But that means everybody can get this right and start living the life of faith God intended.
