"... but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear"

(1 Pet. 3:15)



Revival Ministries Australia is based
on the following statements of the Christian faith.

 

In these we do believe:

The Authority of Scripture
We accept the Bible as the full revelation of Jesus Christ, the Son of Almighty God, and seek to approve all things according to the Word of God. We are committed to believing God to fulfil every promise contained in Scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16)

The Lordship of Jesus Christ
We discover our relationship with the Father God through the Lord Jesus Christ only and seek to serve Jesus as Lord through the whole of our lives. (Acts 2:36)

The Power of the Holy Spirit
We seek the empowering of the Holy Spirit as essential enablement for ministry that bears witness to Jesus. We seek to develop in the operation of all the gifts and graces of the Spirit given by God as supernatural equipment for the ongoing ministry of Jesus. (Acts 1:8)

The Command of Jesus to Make Disciples
We are committed to fulfil the great commission given by Jesus to the church, to preach the gospel to every person, seeking to draw them to become His disciples. This includes active evangelism through training of others and multiplied through the planting of churches. (Matthew 28:18-20)

The Uniqueness of the Apostolic Ministry
We value the ministries of the apostolic church as seen in the book of Acts, and seek the restoration of the fivefold ministry gift. We desire to see the Body of Christ equipped to exercise these ministries through the power of the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 4:11-12)

The Unity of the Spirit
As part of the Body of Christ we seek the unity of the Spirit with every believer and with all churches that confess faith in Jesus Christ. We desire to co-operate with churches in our region, throughout Australia and overseas in order to proclaim the gospel to every person. (John 17:21, Ephesians 4:3 and 13)

The Centrality of Worship
We value worship, as we seek to respond to God's desire for a people who worship Him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)

The Pursuit of Holiness
We are committed to becoming like Jesus. We desire that our personal lives and our relationships generally will reflect His character more and more. (1 Peter 1:13-16)

A Concern for All People
We are committed to ensuring that the teaching of Scripture is available to all people regardless of status and circumstances - to fulfil the command of Christ to "preach the gospel to all creation" including those special people in God's sight whom the Bible refers to as "the poor". (Mark 16:15 and Matthew 11:5)

Marriage and the Family
We recognise marriage and the family as the fundamental basis for society. Revival Ministries Australia is committed to faithfulness in marriage and biblical training of children in the family.

 

We accept these Four Tenets of Revival:

BEFORE any revival can begin, RMA sees as essential requirements, the following FOUR TENETS OF REVIVAL as preached by Evan Roberts at the beginning of the Welsh revival in November 1904 and repeated many times through that revival.

1. All sin must be confessed and repented before God.

The church must be cleansed; the Lord's bride should be without spot so there is no room for compromise with sin. "If there is anything in our lives about which there is even doubt as to whether it is good or evil - then cast it off!"

2. There must be no cloud between the believer and God.

"Have you forgiven every body? If not, don't expect forgiveness for your own sins. The Scripture is clear: we cannot be forgiven until we have forgiven. Unforgiveness separates us from God."

3. We must obey the Holy Spirit.

"Do what the Spirit prompts you to do. Immediate, implicit, unquestioning obedience to the Spirit is required if we are going to be used by Him."

4. There must be public confessions of Christ as Saviour.

"This is not just a one-time incident after our salvation experience or baptism; for the Christian it is a way of life."

 

What we do practise:

The Bible is the Word of God

We take the Bible seriously and find from many years of experience that the Bible is a most awesome book. We call it the Word of God, because through the Bible we find out about God, who He is, why He created and best of all, how to come into a personal relationship with Him. The Bible is a spiritual book: it reveals God, who is Spirit, to us.

Prayer

We are people who pray much, taking all our own needs to God in prayer and praying for the needs of others also. We follow the Bible way of laying hands on the sick and praying for healing. We find that the power and spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit are imparted through the laying on of hands.

Preach the Gospel

We simply seek to obey what Jesus said to do in the Bible. We preach the gospel to all people to whom God sends us. We do not discriminate but literally go into the highways and byways.

Baptism

When people come to believe in Jesus we baptise them in water. It is a very significant step for a person to take, to become a baptised believer. It means a real change has come into the person's life.

Receiving the Holy Spirit

We then ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit to be given to the newly baptised believer. This means receiving the supernatural power of God into our human spirit, enabling us to be like Jesus.

Becoming a Disciple

Each born again Christian is able to follow the Lord personally, reading the Bible and communicating with God directly through prayer. After a time of discipleship, that is, training in the word of God and being able to exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit, each person is then equipped to effectively reach out to others and share the gospel with them in a powerful way.

 

YOU can be involved?

1. You can become a believer, be baptised and receive the Holy Spirit;

2. Then you can become a disciple who is learning to follow Jesus and obey Him;

3. You can be trained and equipped for ministry to others;

4. You can serve on ministry teams here in Toowoomba, in your local area and throughout the nation;

5. You can be part of a team that goes overseas to minister.
