Topic: Apostolic persecution (Apostolic Revival)
Acts 4:1-4 KJV
And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, [2] Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. [3] And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. [4] Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
As we were able to see that the priority of the Apostles was to preach the gospel and not to make name or make history like many in our time.
A notable miracle was just done and they were apprehended not for the miracle but for the gospel , because five thousand men, not counting women, were saved. Don't you think God will raise a dead to get more people saved?
If a lame should walk in our days, we will be celebrated and not persecuted, probably because our priority is affected. If through every little miracle we trafficked multitude unto Christ, it might steer up persecution because the kingdom of hell is affected.
Apostolic Revival comes with Apostolic persecution.

In the midst of the Apostolic Revival, the church might not get new property, new assets or gadgets but it's certain they'll get news souls in multitude converted to Christ.
"Psalm 34:19 KJV
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."
If what you called revival does not move the kingdom of hell, then it's not a revival.
Prayers: Oh Lord, equip to depopulate hell by populating the kingdom of heaven and fortify me, for the mighty revival.
Remain blessed
