The River of

REVIVAL

Tony Suárez

If you ’ re in a Spirit-filled church there ’ s a good chance you ’ ve heard about “ steams ” as it pertains to spiritual ancestry . Some come from the Pentecostal stream , charismatic stream , others from the word of faith , others from the apostolic , and so on and so forth . Each stream carries truth that the entire body needs but for the most part these streams have functioned separately from one another . Every now and then there is crossover from one to the other , but we have yet to see a full unity of the streams . at large will seemingly cap off the stream completely . This is grievous error because each stream comes from the throne room of God with revelation we need .
Without the stream of Pentecost , the church has no power . Without the charismatic stream the church has no giftings . Without the word of faith , the church has no authority . Without the stream of joy , the church loses its attractiveness . Without prosperity the church cannot take dominion .
Each stream of revival has passed through a controversy or for the sake of a word picture , pollution , at some point . What I have observed is rather than clean up the pollution or deal with error , when / if it creeps in , the body
So many have been exposed to a measure of truth , one stream of revival , one manifestation of the Holy Spirit yet are hungry for more . I contend the church needs every stream , every measure of truth and the fullness of the Holy
