DOWN, BUT NOT OUT | REVIVAL SERIES

KHQ

Acts 14:8-22 (NKJV)

Revival has the opportunity to be born when something or someone has been presumed dead or at least a non factor.

there’s something in me that needs to come back alive

Luke pins (records) the resurrection

They had to leave the people they were comfortable with

Some theologians state that Like wrote the book of acts for the defense for apostle Paul

Gentiles - people who don’t know God

Paul was stoned acts 14:19

They presumed he was dead , the believers gathered around Paul and he was revived as if nothing happened

First making a decision of getting back up after getting knocked down

Personal revival

I’m not gonna sit down when I’ve been set down

(John 10:10)

he sends things to stir up our heart // so we can have a heart that’s after him

Rise up again and head toward destiny

We must first acknowledge that we are in need of vitality

• What made you feel like you didn’t need him anymore ?

• What made you decide to stay on the floor ?

It is only revival that comes from dead places

we can expect to usher people to revival that we haven’t experienced

Don’t nobody believe what’s dead

Life has thrown stones at you , and you settled to be down

Romas 8:11

Dueteronomy 20:

Roman’s 8:37

Isaiah 54:17

I will walk In vitality , power , purity , purpose

Prophetic insight

1.) groups were formed

Acts 14:19

⁃ They were formed to be a nuisance

⁃ They were used by satan

⁃ They were dismantling Paul so Jesus can be lifted in him

⁃ The more of you that is crucified the more Jesus in you will show

⁃ he had to become dead so he can go to dead people

⁃ don’t let them push you away from the purpose

2.) the enemy persuades crowds

⁃ just because they are in number people seems to believe them

⁃ The enemy will send onslaughts , to make it seems like everything that was said about you was a lie

⁃ the did everything they did to kill them , to persuade the crowd to make it look correct

⁃ you without sin cast the first stone

⁃ The people wants to kill in you what they see in them

⁃ sticks and stones may break my bones , but Jesus resurrects

⁃ what was shielding Paul that made him not cripple after the stoning !!!

⁃ he was bruised for our iniquity and beat for our transgression
4.) take you from your destination

He goes back to the city where they tried to take him from.
Just because you were stoned does not mean you were done
Get back up.
5.) they supposed you were dead

They assumed everything they did to him would kill him.
They told him , being in the ground he might as well give up.
It told the people he was assigned too look what God did (how he got up // resurrection).
They watched you focus on revival rather than retaliation.

6.) the believers gathered in our life’s
There’s a however in our life’s , that means the story isn’t done yet.
He could not rise until he was around the real ones.
You can’t get to your next unless you get up.
You may be down but your not out.
