About the episode:

America and the Church are in desperate need for revival to survive. Are you concerned about the future of our nation? Are you personally hurting, struggling, or asking who you are or who you can become? God wants everyone to experience His presence, power, and glory. 

Steve Gray, as the pastor of two revivals, shares how the transformational and irrevocably life-changing presence and power of God collided with his life and his church and drew hundreds of thousands of people from around the world, hungry for revival. Starting on March 24, 1996, God came down “like lightning” and revived the congregation of the small-town Smithton Community Church. Steve had been ready to quit the ministry, but God revived him and renewed his life. 

If God can do that in a small town, He can do that anywhere in America. God wants everyone to experience His presence, power, and glory. He is looking to raise up leaders for this next great move of God. Could that be you?

“The church, if it’s going to survive, must have God break through the Heavens and come down in His glory, in His presence, and in His power”

Further Bible reading:

The Woman with the Issue of Blood – Luke 8:43 (also Matthew 9:20-22 and Mark 5:25-34)

43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her.
44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”
46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed.
48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
