- Revival is, first and foremost, about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost.
- It’s about having a passion for reaching out.
- Now it’s easy to unplug right now, because it doesn’t have to do with me, my wants, or needs.
- Revival is time of unselfish acts of love.
- Impetus Jesus’ words is that the End will come.
- We need to reach out to lost, bring them to Christ.
- This is being a part of Revival for Today.

The Great Revival in Nineveh
El gran avivamiento en Nínive
“And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14
“Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, para testimonio a todas las naciones; y entonces vendrá el fin.” Mateo 24:14
The whole world knows already about the gospel of Jesus.
The Bible is the most sold book of all time, with 7 billion copies sold globally.
We are in the end times.
My house on fire.
Fear of deportation.
Talking about revival, lets follow up with the “great revival in Nineveh”
What is most impacting about Jonah is not only that he took the message of salvation to his enemies, but that through him, one person, more than 120 thousand Ninivites got saved and the king himself repented.
Lo impactante de la historia de Jonas no es solo que llevó el mensaje de salvación a sus enemigos pero que a través de Jonás, una persona, más de 120 mil Ninevitas se salvaron y que el mismo rey se arrepintió.
How did Jonah reach all these people in a short period of time?
¿Cómo logró Jonás llegar a todas estas personas en tan poco tiempo?
PROS (Factors in favor of Jonah)
• The revival was in God’s time
• God had prepared in advance the great fish, the sailors
• The sailors perhaps spread out what happened to Jonah
CONS (factors against Jonah) (or in his favor?)
• Nineveh had 40 days to repent
• Jonah had to walk 3 days to cover Nineveh
• Nineveh was Jonah’s enemy territory
But even with these factors against Jonah, and even against his own will, God’s message reached the King’s ear.
“When the king of Nineveh heard what Jonah was saying, he stepped down from his throne and took off his royal robes. He dressed himself in sackcloth and sat on ashes.” Jonah 3:6
“ llegó la noticia hasta el rey de Nínive, y se levantó de su silla, se despojó de su vestido, y se cubrió de cilicio y se sentó sobre ceniza.” Jonás 3:6
The king didn’t care about himself only, but cared for his people, including the animals.
Apostle Bob preached that we our responsible for our families. God knows that it is easier to love our families than others. Yet, God also put in us the ability to love the stranger.
All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.” Philippians 2:21
“Porque todos buscan lo suyo propio, no lo que es de Cristo Jesús.” Filipenses 2:21
Adding to the idea that we are all sinners and that no one is good and that everything that is under the sun is vanity. Jonah definitely needed God’s love and direction.
Only God’s love can produce this kind of movement, awakening, revival.
The word of God revived Jonah so powerfully that caused a chain reaction that reached the king of Nineveh, and not only a chain reaction, but an exponential growth, also circular or in circles.
La palabra De Dios impactó a Jonás y fue tan poderosa que causó una reacción en cadena que llegó asta el rey de Nineveh. Y no solo en cadena, pero un crecimiento multiplicado, también circular.
The scriptures speak about this type of growth:
Las escrituras hablan de ello, un crecimiento en cadena multiplicado, en la parábola del sembrador:
“And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty-fold, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”” Mark 4:20
“Y estos son los que fueron sembrados en buena tierra: los que oyen la palabra y la reciben, y dan fruto a treinta, a sesenta, y a ciento por uno.” Marcos 4:20
Dr. Steven spoke about an expansion of the kingdom as circles of different sizes and with strategy.
“The Lord now chose seventy other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit.” Luke 10:1
“Después de estas cosas, designó el Señor también a otros setenta, a quienes envió de dos en dos delante de él a toda ciudad y lugar a donde él había de ir. Lucas 10:1
Ripple Effect = Efecto Domino
Ripple Effect: The continuing and spreading results of an event or action.
Efecto Domino: Es el resultado de una acción que produce una serie de consecuencias en cadena.
Logo of the Fountain
The waves or circles produced in sequence after throwing a pebble in the lake.
The Atomic bomb
Jonah alludes to this effect:
“You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves.”Jonah 2:3
“Me echaste a lo profundo, en medio de los mares, Y me rodeó la corriente; Todas tus ondas y tus olas pasaron sobre mí.” Jonás 2:3
Jesus is the most powerful ripple effect of all time.
What can we learn from this analogy?
- Jesus is the rock and we are part of the expansion of His kingdom
• The waves awakens us
• The revival is an opportunity
• The revival elevates us
• The wave can be temporal or an emotion
How am I going to take this wave or this revival?
Que voy a hacer con este avivamiento?

“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Luke 10:2
La mies a la verdad es mucha, mas los obreros pocos; por tanto, rogad al Señor de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies.” Lucas 10:1-2
“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” Matthew 25:40
“Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: De cierto os digo que en cuanto lo hicisteis a uno de estos mis hermanos más pequeños, a mí lo hicisteis.” Mateo 25:40
Brothers, I am Nineveh, I am Jonah, I am the stranger.
God loves us equally.
There is work to do. His work. Let’s not be only spectators, but doers.
Let’s ask God to revive our love, yes, revival in our heart first, for our homes, for the world.
Conclusión:
Lord Jesus, revive my soul. Revive the love for others.
Señor Jesús, te pido que avives mi alma. Aviva en mi el amor al prójimo.

“A la hora que solía hacerse el sacrificio vespertino, el profeta Elías caminó hacia el altar y oró: «Oh Señor, Dios de Abraham, de Isaac y de Jacob, demuestra hoy que tú eres Dios en Israel y que yo soy tu siervo; demuestra que yo he hecho todo esto por orden tuya.” - 1 Reyes 18:36

[INTRODUCTION]
- There is so much to learn from every revival.
- Revival today reveals that people’s condition is prone to the same as yesterday.
- But thank God for the 1 willing to pay price for revival.
- And like people before, we have to choose.
- Who will we follow?
- Let’s learn from Elijah’s revival.
ISRAEL’S CONDITION SPEAKS TO US TODAY
LA CONDICIÓN DE ISRAEL NOS HABLA HOY
- Israel’s glory days had ended.
- They are a divided nation—Israel & Judah.
- Israel is worshiping Baal & other false gods.
- They’re under the reign of Ahab & Jezabel.
“Acáb hizo más para provocar el enojo del Señor, Dios de Israel, que cualquier otro de los reyes anteriores de Israel.” - 1 Reyes 16:33
- This speaks to the condition of OUR country today:
- American glory days are almost forgotten.
- Divided socially, economically, politically.
- Leadership further & further away from God.
- We worship self, jobs, athletes, etc.
- The time is prime (propicio) for revival.
- Like in Israel’s condition, it’s in the darkest of times that revival occurs.
REVIVAL BEGINS WITH ONE
EL AVIVAMIENTO COMIENZA CON UNO
- Some say God needs no one to fulfill His purpose.
- Every revival can be traced back (se remonta) to 1 individual — just like in the story of Cornelius.
- One individual whom God prepares - like Elijah.
- Now, what was known about Elijah?
“Ahora bien, Elías, quien era de Tisbé en Galaad, le dijo al rey Acab: «Tan cierto como que el Señor vive, el Dios de Israel —a quien sirvo—, no habrá rocío ni lluvia durante los próximos años, ¡hasta que yo dé la orden!».” - 1 Reyes 17:1
- That’s all we know about Elijah: Where he’s from; His faith in God; and that He has Word from the Lord — no family history or lineage.
- That’s all that God needs to fulfill His purposes.
- Revival begins through whom ever is willing to obey — it begins with one.
- James 5:17 confirms that it didn’t rain in Israel for 3 1/2 years.
- As a result there’s famine in the land — people are hungry.
- Elijah commands king & people to assemble and sacrifice.
- Including 850 false prophets. (450 prophets of Baal)
THE CHALLENGE TO CHOOSE
EL RETO DE ELEGIR
- Every day we are challenged to make decisions — to choose.
“Elías se paró frente a ellos y dijo: «¿Hasta cuándo seguirán indecisos, titubeando entre dos opiniones? Si el Señor es Dios, ¡síganlo! Pero si Baal es el verdadero Dios, ¡entonces síganlo a él!». Sin embargo, la gente se mantenía en absoluto silencio.” - 1 Reyes 18:21
- James 1:8 - talks about the instability of a double minded person.
- Jesus, Revelation 3:15 - Jesus wishes for us to make up our mind – cold or hot – follow me or not - make up your mind - otherwise you’re a lukewarm wobble worthy of vomit. (de lo contrario eres un tibio bamboleo digno de vomitar)
- The people’s response was silence — crickets.
- Two bulls, two altars, two sacrifices—you go first.
“Después, invoquen ustedes el nombre de su dios, y yo invocaré el nombre del Señor. El dios que responda enviando fuego sobre la madera, ¡ese es el Dios verdadero!»; y toda la gente estuvo de acuerdo.” - 1 Reyes 18:24
- Prophets of Baal spend all morning — nothing — not even a BIC lighter.
- Now Elijah’s turn to ask the Lord to send fire.
- 20 second prayer that ended with…
“Respóndeme para que este pueblo sepa que tú los has hecho volver a ti…Al instante, el fuego del Señor cayó desde el cielo y consumió el sacrificio…Cuando la gente vio esto, exclamaron: «¡El Señor, él es Dios! ¡Sí, el Señor es Dios!».” - 1 Reyes 18:37-39
- When ONE person chooses to pray — immediately God chooses to respond — what will God do when more than one chooses to pray — REVIVAL.
- Any time we choose: To pray; To worship, Give to the Lord; Reach out to the lost — God will respond.
- Any time we choose God there will be revival.
- People acknowledged the Lord is true God.
- They killed the false prophets demonstrating they didn’t want the counterfeit anymore.
- By humbly repenting, God, who sends fire, also sent a tremendous rainstorm.
- The physical and spiritual drought was over.
- Revival was in the land.
- When you choose to kill what is false in or around you, then God will choose to move on your behalf.
- This was Elijah’s revival.
- For you it means - every miracle you experience will be the result of you choosing God, first.
- That miracle could be fire, rain, or salvation of someone you’re praying for.
- The Lesson 4 Today is…

[INTRODUCTION]
- Jesus was A revivalist — a soul winner.
- He’s considered the Great Revivalist.
- When Jesus began His ministry, there was revival already underway. (en marcha)
- John the Baptist was the spark (chispa) for that revival.
“Es necesario que Él crezca, y que yo disminuya.” - Juan 3:30
- Jesus did increase - He is the Great Revivalist.
- Everything has a beginning.
EL COMIENZO DE UN MINISTRO DE AVIVAMIENTO

- 1st - Jesus was baptized by John Baptist.
Sometido a la Autoridad
- 2nd - Jesus was Tempted by Satan.
Espera Grandes Tentaciones
- 3rd - Jesus gathered and trained disciples.
Requiere Esfuerzo de Equipo

Más Se Requiere de Nuestra Generación
“Everybody is going to Him instead of coming to us.” John 3:26
“Todos van a él en lugar de venir a nosotros.” Juan 3:26
- John 4:1 - Jesus knew that He was making more disciples than John the Baptist.
- Submission, Temptations, Team Effort, & Expectations are key to every season of revival.
THE REVIVALIST AND FOCUS GROUPS
EL MINISTRO DE AVIVAMIENTO Y GRUPOS DE ENFOQUE
- Each one of us is expected to win souls.
- Winning souls is the essence of revival.
- Expected to speak regardless of how many — those are our Focus Groups.
- Jesus spoke to groups of many like He spoke to 1.
- Mat. 5 - multitudes heard sermon on mount.
- Mat. 13 - great multitude on the seashore.
- Mat. 14 - speaks & feeds 5,000 men.
- However, most of the time, Jesus spoke to 1.
- One: Samaritan woman; Rich ruler; blind man; Zacchaeus; Mary Magdalene; Thief; Nicodemus.
- Unknown how many times Jesus spoke to just one - one on one or one amongst a crowd.
- The focus group of a revivalist, a soul winner, can be one, like it can be a group.
SOMETIMES, ONE IS THE BEST
A VECES, UNO ES LO MEJOR
- “One is better than none”.
- We cannot disregard the value of One: Friend; Family Member; Fellow Worker; Soul.
- Sometimes, one is the best - It took One:
- John Baptist to spark revival.
- Samaritan Woman to save a village.
- Apostle Paul to revive an empire.
- Nicodemus to hear John 3:16 and believe.
- And only Son of God to save the world.
- A single person can have a significant impact on another person‘s life.
“Se necesita Uno para cambiar la vida de Uno” AEB
- YOU are God‘s best to change the life of one.
- Jesus was God’s best to save the world.
- What a great revivalist He was.
- Even after His death and resurrection, the revival continued through His spirit-filled disciples.
- That revival has carried His church till today.
- And it continues through you — through YOUR efforts of reviving, of winning souls.
- You cannot escape the responsibility.
- You were revived to revive others — even one at a time.
- You are God’s best to revive your world.

- What a terrible thing for these families.
“Aproximadamente 66.000 personas mueren cada día sin escuchar el mensaje de Jesús”.
Brian Mark Weller (Message Ministries & Missions)
- 66,000 people go to hell, daily.
- When we can understand the magnitude and seriousness of the lost dying, then we will begin to experience true revival.
- Peter in his 1st revival, obviously understood that.
- His 1st revival message was Just Jesus.

- Revival is not the tempo of the song.
- Revival is not the volume of the microphone.

“¿QUE DEBEMOS HACER?”
- The lost family / friend / acquaintance / soul that asks, what should I do to be saved.
- That’s the Mission — That’s Revival.
- This is why you take Communion.
- So you can remember what a Christian does.
- You know you’re in Communion Revival when YOU are telling people
JESÚS TE AMA, EL TE QUIERE SALVAR
- That’s Communion Revival.
- And we do this till Jesus comes again.
