A lot of churches today are like patients on life-support. The Spirit is long gone, but the body is kept alive by artificial means. Many churches have got the form of religion but have lost the power of resurrection. People come to God's house only to find that God isn't home. God's house has become a museum, set up to glorify where God used to be. If ever there were a need for Revival, it is most certainly now.
Indeed, there is a renewal movement on the rise. With infinite wisdom and mercy, God is sending a fresh wind of the Spirit to breathe new life into the church. Some churches respond by adding insulation to keep the wind out. Some feel the wind but don't know what it is. And some open their doors and windows gladly and said, "Come, Holy Spirit, we need you."
Churches serving the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities (a.k.a. the Rainbow Nation) are not, alas, on the forefront of this renewal. For good or for ill, most churches that welcome this fresh wind of the Holy Spirit tend toward the conservative side of the Christian spectrum. Rainbow people are neither welcome nor comfortable in the churches where revival is starting to happen.
This grieves the heart of God. God knows the Body of Christ will never be complete until all people are welcomed and celebrated. As the fresh fires of Revival began to fall from heaven, God chose some to bring that good news to those who were outcast.
And so Rainbow Revival was born to fan the flames of Revival within, throughout, and beyond the Rainbow Nation. Through the preaching, teaching, healing and prayer ministries of Rev. Arthur Runyan and Dr. Mike Amendolara, Holy Spirit Revival will be pursued in the local church and Resurrection Power proclaimed throughout the land.
