How to use Power in your Evangelism.

Join us in a power-packed episode of the Arise Church podcast as Pastor Brent tackles the issue of fake Christianity, drawing parallels to buying knock-off apparel. Is our version of Christianity lacking the power to bring about real change in ourselves and the world? It might look the same on the outside, but is it missing the qualities of integrity and genuineness?

We dive into Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a man lame from birth at the temple gate. This healing sparks a powerful monologue from Peter, reflecting on the challenges faced by Jesus-followers and the transformative impact of true Christianity.

Revival is explored as a menu of possibilities, revealing what's normal, genuine, and authentic in Christianity. Acts 3:1-10 narrates the healing of the lame man, leading to a massive conversion of 5,000 people. Peter shares the story, emphasizing the persecution that follows those who boldly preach Christ.

As we yearn for revival, the podcast draws inspiration from historical examples, like the prayerful plea of Billy Graham at John Wesley's bedroom. Revival starts with the individual, with the analogy of pregnancy emphasizing the conception in hidden prayer closets.

The second key to becoming ground zero for revival is understanding our authority in Christ. Power in evangelism is discussed, highlighting the effectiveness of combining the proclamation of the Gospel with supernatural demonstrations of power.

Lastly, putting God in day-to-day life is crucial for true revival. Revival is not just an event; it's a lifestyle. The episode concludes with a challenge: are we settling for a fake "Louie Vital" version of Christianity? The American church faces a choice between detonation and domestication. Have we domesticated our faith to the point of losing its wildness and hunger for the power of God?

Join us as we navigate these questions, seeking a genuine and powerful expression of Christianity in today's world.
