The Holy Spirit Leads True Revival
Episode #679
12/08/2019
With Martha Kilpatrick and hosted by John Enslow
This is the continuation of a series of podcasts started in Episode #678.
True revival comes from the Holy Spirit and is led by Him as well. No man or woman can orchestrate revival; we can only pray that it will fall on us all.
John:
Someone asked me yesterday, they said, you know, “What are you writing?” And I told them and I said, “You know, The Great Exchange is absolutely amazing.” I said, “This book is just absolutely phenomenal.” She said, “You know something? I know what that means for you.” She said, “I know that you are not taking credit. You’re not being arrogant with this. You’re not puffing up your ego. You’re literally, just because I know you, I know you’re referencing that this is something that you received and you got and so you’re not crediting yourself for it at all.”
Martha:
Um hmm. I appreciate your friend’s comment, John, because it is true. I don’t have words until the Holy Spirit gives words.
John:
Right.
Martha:
You don’t have words, so your words are beyond your ability.
John:
Totally, totally, totally.
Martha:
And so are mine.
John:
Yeah.
Martha:
I’ll read something and I’ll say, “I can’t possibly have known that or ever written it.”
John:
Exactly.
Martha:
It came from the anointing of the Spirit.
John:
Yeah.
Martha:
He’s just using this body to write.
John:
Exactly.
Martha:
My… What is it? The Psalm 45? “My heart is the pen of a ready writer.” My heart is the pen.
John:
Right.
Martha:
My body is the vessel.
John:
Right.
Martha:
And I’m only, only waiting in terms of hearing Him. And that’s not some grandiose thing to say. That is the reality.
John:
Yeah, yeah.
Martha:
That is the common, practical, absolutely bottom-line reality is that when… And he… Paul said it to the Corinthians. “I’m speaking to you words of the Spirit.”
John:
Right.
Martha:
And the Spirit gives life and the letter killeth.
John:
Um hmm.
Martha:
So, we are, we’re waiting and willing to wait for the Holy Spirit to, to speak, to give the unction, to give the revelation.
John:
Well, I’m, I’m realizing that, you know, that when I’m reading what I wrote later…
Martha:
Um hmm.
John:
…I’m like, “Golly, did I write that?”
Martha:
Um hmm. Yeah, I do, too. And I can barely believe it sometimes because my style is totally different.
John:
Um hmm.
Martha:
Yours is really clean and spare and, and… You… What you wrote about the ku… I read a lot of things about the kundalini spirit because I’ve witnessed it and left it and… But I know, I know that what you wrote is a clear explanation of it. And that… When did you write it?
John:
I don’t even remember. It, it was a couple of weeks I wrote this.
Martha:
Oh, ok. Have… Do you brood on it a lot along the way?
John:
So the lady asked me the question…
Martha:
Um hmm.
John:
…and I said, “I, I got to get back with you.” And I went and I listened and this is… I wrote this out as, as, of what I heard.
Martha:
Uh huh.
John:
You know? So I didn’t give the lady an immediate answer. I mean I may have given her one line about falsehood because I know it’s false. But I, I, you know, this was clear to me and I thought, “Oh my gosh, I’ve got to put this out there” because it is so clear. It is…
Martha:
It is so, uh huh.
John:
You know it’s…
Martha:
And it’s a current problem.
John:
Exactly. Yeah.
Martha:
And it’s… Every… I believe we’re on the edge of revival and if there’s not a whole lot of prayer and surrender to the Holy Spirit, that can kill a movement of the Spirit…
John:
Right.
Martha:
…that’s, that kundalini thing. I’m… I read about the, a revival in the Hebrides and the man named Dave Thomas went down and interviewed… Have I talked about this on-
John:
Yeah, I think you’ve…
Martha:
line before?
John:
I believe you’ve done…
Martha:
Probably in the Tape of the Month. I don’t know.
John:
That’s ok. Do it again.
Martha:
Well, it’s just the most amazing thing I’ve ever heard and gave me, gave me such incentive to pray and desire what happened in the Hebrides. These… It started with two ladies. One was an aunt of Donald Trump. And the women started praying, two crippled women alone in their, their little home.
John:
One was blind, right?
Martha:
One was blind, one was crippled. They couldn’t go to church.
John:
Right.
Martha:
So they were sisters and they just had church in their house. Well, they began to pray mightily for a revival in that area and then to the world. Then men began to join the prayer. And a number of men met to, to pray for revival.
And when it came, they determined that no one would be able to look at a person and, and say that, that person made the revival happen. They refused to be at the center of the phenomenal.
What was happening was the Holy Spirit fell on church upon church sovereignly, and so the Holy Spirit was so in charge that He would conduct an entire service and just different ones led of the Holy Spirit would participate.
But there was no person who was head of it. There was no person who could take credit for it and at times people would just show up at a church led of the Spirit there and then the Spirit would come. But the Holy Spirit was absolutely in charge. And I don’t know that we’ve ever let Him in, in most of Christianity. I don’t know that we’ve ever wanted Him to be totally in charge.
John:
Actually, last month you, you were talking about this.
Martha:
Oh, ok.
John:
It was last month. It was the… One of the podcasts is Resurrecting of Vision for Revival and you talked about the Hebrides in there.
Martha:
Oh, ok.
John:
And but no…
Martha:
Can I say it again (laughs)?
John:
…this is great. Absolutely.
Martha:
It’s phenomenal. I see. These men would not even go to the service and be seen so that no one could elevate them.
John:
That’s perfect.
Martha:
And it was so anointed and so phenomenal. The Holy Spirit was free to move all around that area and then it spread to the world. And that’s, that’s what we want, John, nothing but the move of the Spirit, nothing but the anointing of the Spirit. And I believe that it would be possible to have a great revival if there’s a lot of undergirding prayer, united common prayer against the false appearance of the signs and experiences and so forth.
I think we are being prepared for that revival by this emphasis on the kundalini spirit. And the actually naming, Strom is actually naming the leaders who are involved in it. And so all the information we need is there to, for our protection. Our preparation is perfect. God goes before to solve the problem before it happens so that we don’t have to fight it. This thing is already being fought on many grounds of people who are truly, truly the Lord’s spokesmen.
So is there anything else you can tell me about your writing experience except that it’s a miracle. It’s a miracle isn’t it, John?
John:
It’s a miracle. Yeah, sure enough. It’s, it’s, you know, it’s quite beyond me and it’s quite beyond my education. It’s quite beyond it all because of the fact that I, I’m, I’m, I feel like I’m dictating. I’m not saying that it’s infallible. But I am saying that I, I did get it from Him.
Martha:
Um hmm.
John:
It’s not like I didn’t.
Martha:
And there’s no way to say otherwise.
John:
Right. Yeah. I would be lying if I told you I, you know, “Oh yes, I’ve been pondering this for so many years.” No, it, no. That’s not the way it went at all. And the thing about the kundalini spirit is the fact that, you know… I, I was willing the suck it down. I was… At the very beginning…
Martha:
You were looking for it.
John:
…I was looking for it and I, I went to a lot of these places and I was, I was signed up. I was ready. I, I was like, “I will be there.”
Martha:
“Give it to me.”
John:
“Give it to me.” And, you know, I’ve written about it and I’ve, actually in Where Are You, God? the, the booklet. I talked about, you know, being willing to suck down a little counterfeit, so, because I was so hungry. And… But now this side of it all, it has been made putrid to me.
Martha:
Um hmm.
John:
Because I know the real and I know, you know… ”They will know Me by My voice,” you know? We, if we’ll be sheep and if we’ll be Shepherded, we will know Him, we will know when it is Him because it smells like Him and it feels like Him. You can, you… I mean there… This other stuff it’s, you know, it’s, it’s a convenience store explosion of, of happy fireworks and stuff like that but it’s, it’s not real. It doesn’t, it doesn’t leave me in wonder of Him.
Martha:
Um hmm.
John:
I’m in wonder of the sign.
Martha:
Um hmm.
The Holy Spirit Leads True Revival – Episode #679 – Shulamite Podcast
True revival comes from the Holy Spirit and is led by Him. No man or woman can orchestrate revival; we can only pray that it will fall on us. And when it comes, those who are surrendered to the Shepherd will recognize His voice; a counterfeit won’t fool them.
Yes! We want nothing else but the move of the Holy Spirit!
Signs and wonders can be counterfeited …but no one can fake Love.
So completely true Sandy! They will know us by our love.
