About Me

My photo
My name is Matthew Armstrong, and I'm a second year student that goes to Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California. My passion is Jesus and I love Revival and I believe that its not meant for a moment, but God intended for it to never end, and to always increase, from Glory to Glory. I'm writing this blog to let people in on the secret that revival is a lifestyle. And I'm here to prove it! You will read personal testimonies of the sick being healed on the streets and in churches, Showing that this revival lifestyle is possible. Through my life of revival I want to ignite the fire in you to go and burn for The Christ. I also want to say thank you to all the people who have supported me in this quest of finding revival and keeping it in my life. I hope this blog helps to show you what and who you are investing in, and I pray for a release of an impartation to get double of everything I have received! You are apart of this more then you think. Now go and burn! -Revival

"Whats a day off in the Kingdom"

  Today the team and I had a great time touring Mexico city and seeing all the statues of angels and old saints of God. It was our only day of the whole trip where we can really just see the sites. You could call it a day off. But even on a day off, you never stop hanging out with your best friend Jesus. And we always end up doing what He wants to do.  Which is heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils! Haha, I love doing what He loves to do!

  As we moved deeper into the heart of the city the more eager I got to minister the gospel of Jesus. I came across a man siting on the street, which you could tell he was homeless. I stopped to pray for him because my heart went out for him. As we started to pray I began to notice many people around us almost getting angry that we were reaching out in compassion to this broken homeless man. You could feel the looks and stares of people as the walked by. My heart went out to him all the more. He was also blind, and we were praying for him to receive his sight. I asked after many times of praying if he could see, each time their were no change. Sometimes this is the hardest thing to work through. When we pray and it seems nothing happens. Some give up in this moment, but let it be your fuel to get fully what Jesus paid for. If I would of gave up after one person didn't get healed when i prayed for them, then all the hundreds of people that i have seen get healed through my hands would still be sick or dead. it's all worth the risk!

  After this we went into a giant Catholic Church. I'm mean this thing was the real deal. It had ceilings that went forever with gold from top to bottom and old saint statues everywhere. It was a perfect place for a miracle service! Someone on our team prayed for a deaf women in the church and God opened up her ears! Jesus loves the Catholics!

  I decided I wanted to leave the church and go release the goodness of God to the people outside of the church. I mean this is where we are called to anyways. Somehow in our own self-comfort of Christian life, we have redefined reaching and LOVING the lost, to staying comfortable in church and expecting they will just all come through the doors wanting the dead religion that you carry. They want someone to love them, and they want something real. They want power! So let's get off our butts and go show them the true gospel of Christ.

  While we were outside I came across an elderly women that had a cane. My translator was talking to someone else and I didn't want to miss a chance for God to show up and heal her. So I stepped out, took a risk and through hand motions asked her if I could pray. I laid my hands on her knees and prayed a short prayer, and the motioned to test it out. As a smile came across her face I knew something was happening. So I prayed again, but when I motioned for her to test it out, the biggest smile exploded on her face as she began to walk with out her cane! She was totally healed! The funny thing was, she just keep walking with her in the air and a huge smile on her face! It was amazing!

  Not long after I seen some young students that I wanted to pray for. We went over to them and started to talk. I quickly asked if they have ever seen a Miracle or have felt the presence of God before. All four said no. I then told them to hold out their hands like they were receiving a gift, as they did I asked the Holy Spirit to come. And He did like He always does. Their response was "I feel a weight in my hands". I responded "it's the prison e of God".  You could tell by their faces they have never experienced this before. My next question was "do you want to met this man that you are experiencing?" three of the young mens answers were yes! So I lead them to the lord! If I would of given up praying for people and taking risk because of discouragement, then they may of never come to know the Lord. Take big risk, it will always pay off.

  My favorite one of the day was when I introduced myself to a couple youth people that were sitting down hanging out. A asked them if they had any pain. One of the youth girls said yes, I have a head ache. So I asked her friend who was sitting next to her to lay hands on her head. Then told him to repeat after me "in the name of Jesus be healed, all pain go".  When I asked her how her head felt now, with a big smile and a laugh, she said "all the pain is gone!" it was amazing! Someone that may not even know Christ personally, laid his hands on her and she got healed! They were all so astonished as to what happened they wanted me to pray for them more. They all held their hands out and asked Holy Spirit to come, after they said that they could feel something like waves hitting them! It was Jesus touching them! It really is easier then we think!
