The central theme is not Calvinism. I will tell you what the central problem is: regeneration and that is why I can be in communion with Wesley, Ravenhill, Tozer and everyone, because no matter how they positioned themselves on other subjects, they believe that salvation cannot be manipulated by the preacher, and that is an extraordinary work of the power of Almighty God. And with them, therefore, I position themselves, in the certainty that it was a work of God. [?]
When’s old G. Campbell Morgan? When he climbed the majestic tower to preach, he quoted himself: “Like the sheep for the slaughterhouse, and how does the lamb move before moowing?(Acts 8:32). He knew that without a magnificent manifestation of the regenerative work of the Holy Ghost, nothing he said would have life. It is the Spirit who gives life and, in that sense, all of us who proclaim His Word must proclaim It as prophets.
- What do I mean by that? Always.
- We are always an Ezekiel in front of this valley of dry bones.
- And how dry they are!And then we go out and see everything and what do we do?We say.
- “Listen to the word of the Lord.
- ” And we know that God’s breath must blow upon these dead.
- Otherwise they will not be resurrected.
- Then.
- When you have fully understood this in the depths of your being.
- You will no longer give up.
- To the manipulation that is so often done in the name of evangelization in this country.
- You will proclaim the Word of God.
- [?].
Here in the United States, because of the last years and decades of evangelization, the perception of what it means to be born again has been completely lost, all of which means that once, in a crusade, you made a decision and believe you did. Honestly, but there is no evidence of a supernatural work to recreate the Holy Spirit in your life. If someone “isn’t so sure” if someone is in Christ, he’s a new creature.
