CLASSES INCLUDE

  • THE MINISTRY OF THE FORERUNNER
    There is a rising remnant of prophetic messengers who are consumed by fire and propelled by a burning zeal for advancing God’s Kingdom. Discover more about this critical end-time ministry.
  • INTIMACY/LOVE
    The most critical fuel the church needs to go empower every key ministry is the same fuel we need to launch us in our personal lives. That fuel is the burning desire that results from an intimate encounter with the Lover of our souls.
  • UNOFFENDABLE
    Offended hearts are imprisoned hearts. This teaching has set many people free, and you will learn how to grow in God without the hindrance of offense slowing you down.
  • REVELATION DRIVEN PRAYER
    There is a dramatic and wildly dynamic life of revelation that is available to all of us. Learn how to hear God clearly, encounter his heart and advance with a precision focus of prayer and intercession.
  • INTERCESSION
    You are a carrier of the mighty presence of God. As you pick up the Ark of God’s presence and move ahead through rivers and around imposing walled cities, you will lead the people through their own seemingly impossible situations.
  • DELIVERANCE
    First, you will discover the wonder of freedom from personal struggles, fears and obstacles. Then, you’ll learn how to set the captives free!
  • 20 ELEMENTS OF REVIVAL
    There are over 19,000 cities in the nation, and none of them are experiencing the biblical normalcy of revival. You will investigate how to initiate a step-by-step process of transformation and revival in your city.
  • A SPIRIT OF INSIGNIFICANCE
    Many in the church are convinced they do not play a significant role in God’s great plan. That strategy of the enemy will be dealt with directly as we learn how God sees each of us-as mighty people of valor.
  • ENCOUNTERING AND RELEASING THE FIRE
    There is a baptism of Fire for every Believer in Jesus Christ. Experience this Fire personally and learn how to release as burning men and women of God.
  • COVENS AND PHARAOH IN THE CHURCH
    There is a way to interact with authorities in our lives that will result in a great escape into the wilderness of encounter. Learn how you can move out in abundant life and extreme freedom while running well with the leaders God has put into your life.

WE CURRENTLY MEET AT THE TABERNACLE:

theLab was burning at TheCall last night : Matt Sorger and Catherine Mullins Sunday

theLab prayed from 10pm-midnight in a concourse at Ford Field—and the fire of deliverance raged!

imageAfter struggling to find a place to pray as a group, we ended up in a concourse and about 50 people exploded in deep groans and roars of the Spirit!

The spirit of prayer landed on me the moment theLab gathered together at TheCall and what followed was indescribable.

The burning I and so many were experiencing was raging all around. There were deliverances and people laid out all over the floor.

I’ll say this, whenever the burning men and women of theLab gather together to pray, the atmosphere simply ignites in something way beyond passion and emotion. God visits in tangible yet invisible power.

LETS DO IT AGAIN AT 10AM!

In just 45 minutes from now we’ll be in the same place on the concourse behind the Lions Pro Shop at Gate A. Join us at 10am if you can for another round of burning!

imageMATT SORGER AND CATHERINE MULLINS AT REVIVAL CHURCH SUNDAY!

Come early for one of the most powerful prayer meetings you’ve ever experienced! We’ll start at 5pm at Revival Church in roaring, groaning, burning and prophetic prayer. The service will launch with that same fire of intercession at 6pm as Catherine Mullins leads us in revival worship.

Matt Sorger will then take over and we will experience an atmosphere of signs, wonders and miracles!

See you Sunday at Revival Church!

INSANE faith : Can you believe with us for this? Revival Church property vision

Will you join with us in rare, insane faith for a regional center of revival in Detroit?

imageThis is an idea of what I see when I think about the multiple thousands of people who are going to converge in Detroit very soon. They will land in the airport from the nations of the Earth and will be looking for a night and day revival center where they can find healing, fire and life!

In fact, this property is probably much too small, which is why there have been so many prophetic words about stadiums being filled with people as revival breaks out!

The leader of the ministry I established in Colorado emailed me the following today:

Prepare for the explosion. I would pray and look for a big place, big favor and not a big price tag. But look big, pray big, confirmation is coming, ask for it from the Lord. Big big big—press—He's given you guys the faith for it, now is the time.~Miles Anderson

We are praying very specifically for a property like this, and the money to refurbish it, so we can:

  • Host the nations in nightly outpouring meetings
  • House continual prophetic intercession for revival, Detroit and the nations
  • Have classrooms and meeting places for theLab Internship.
  • Hold regional conferences with national ministers that God is highlighting in this hour
  • Establish REVIVAL WORSHIP where “The Tone of the Groan” Romans 8:26 worship movement is stewarded
  • greenfirecoffee: Yep, a full blown coffee shop where people can come and enjoy God and each other night and day!
  • Television studio: We are called to release this fire to the nations, and we see a raw, fiery TV program driven by revival worship, groans and prophetic teaching.
  • Much, much more including an earth shaking children’s ministry, dorms and outreaches.

We are inviting the region including pastors, ministry leaders, intercessors and others to rally around the vision of a regional center of revival. We are boldly asking you to lock arms with us in the city church.

If you have the resources to finance this project, or a part of it, please contact me. If you have other insights, I’d love to connect! [email protected]

Revival-Church-Vision-Building

God sings : A groaning worship movement : Brian Simmons and Catherine Mullins tonight at Revival Church

People were trembling on the floor and laughing deeply throughout the night! More tonight at Revival Church!

God interrupted my offering spiel last night as people started groaning and erupting when the Holy Fire entered the building. Catherine Mullins, Candice Simmons and others fell to their faces and visibly trembled. I was doubling over and burning.

I was nearly speechless as God surprised a lot of hungry people with an unusual visitation—and we are going after more tonight at Revival Church!

A GROANING WORSHIP MOVEMENT

I saw in the spirit last night a mass of people who were all groaning and roaring in the Holy Spirit in unison. This is a coming worship movement that will impact the Earth with great force. It’s a Romans 8:26-27 worship expression that yields to God as he breathes through us.

We’re all familiar with praying in tongues, but the church hasn’t been as quick to experience the groans of the Holy Spirit. I believe we are going to take it up even another level as the Holy Spirit worships through us in groans! Imagine the deep mysteries that will erupt through a groaning church as they worship in fire! Wow! I don’t think we’ll need projectors to display the words on the wall as much anymore!

Romans 8:26-27 (ESV) 26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

When I planted Revival Church just over two years ago, the first prophetic word I received was in the first pre-launch meeting in our living room. God said, “John, for Detroit to be taken, the church will have to discover the greater groan.”

A NEW SOUND

I’ve heard many prophetic words about a new sound or worship that will come out of Detroit. I have always sensed that this new sound wouldn’t be another music style, and now I’m convinced that the groans and roars of worship that will rock and shock the atmosphere is that new sound.

TheCall is coming to Detroit on 11/11/11, and I get wrecked when I consider the possibility of 80,000 people all groaning and roaring in the Spirit at the same time! Ahhhhhh!

The shift that’s coming will require a groaning, roaring church that’s unified in purpose.

Now, at a time when people are leaving Detroit in record numbers due to the economy, I experienced a micro level reality last night. Someone from Chicago who was trembling and blown up all weekend at the conference as God wrecked her life said something to me. She said that she has never experienced the type and level of intercession that she did as theLab Interns led. She is craving to actually move to Detroit to be in that environment!

Why is this? What will turn the tide of thousands leaving this city? What will cause the nations to flood in here?

Lets look at the Romans passage a little bit further

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD?

One of the most misused scriptures in the Bible is Romans 8:28.

Romans 8:28 (ESV) 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

When people are going through a hard time it’s common to quote this verse. However, it’s actually poor counsel if we use this verse by itself. It starts with the word And. That means something comes in front of it. Something else is necessary for this verse to activate.

Now, keep in mind, Romans 8:28 reveals that the only way things work together for good is if two things happen:

  • We love God.
  • We are called according to his purpose.

The only way we can love is if the Holy Spirit enables us!

The only way we can come into agreement with God’s deep, other worldly purpose for us is if the Spirit searches the deep things of God and we let him release that through us in a groan!

Bottom line, when Detroit groans, things will turn around and start working together for good. Love of God will explode and we will sign up for the grand, divine blueprint for this region. Detroit’s calling has been drawn up in the invisible realm of the Spirit, and it’s the Holy Spirit that must release it—through the church of Detroit.

Yes, I literally see the worldwide worship movement shifting!

The shift that’s coming to the church is absolutely shocking.

I literally see the coming worship movement that will impact church gatherings around the world being grounded in the groans of intercession.

It will be intermixed with angelic level choruses, musical prophetic decrees and an overwhelming, weighty habitation of the Spirit of God that the congregation will be on their faces groaning as the Holy Spirit sings and roars through them! Yes, God sings!

See you tonight for groaning prayer at 5pm and a burning night of worship and encounter with Brian Simmons and Catherine Mullins at 6pm at Revival Church!

We meet at THE TABERNACLE: 14205 12 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48088

Catherine Mullins and Brian Simmons at Revival Church Sunday

Catherine Mullins and Brian Simmons are special people to us at Revival Church—they carry the spirit of revival and will release that this Sunday, September 25, 2011!

Come early at 5pm for fiery pre-service prophetic prayer, and then at 6pm stay for a night to remember as we worship with Catherine Mullins and go deep with Brian Simmons.

Immediately after the service the prophecy room will be open for anybody and everybody who wants personal prophetic ministry.

There’s a lot going on at Revival Church including our new Culture Groups, theLab, Friday night prayer for Detroit and so much more! See you Sunday!

Join a company of burning ones and change cultures and cities

Begin to dream biblical level dreams of extreme supernatural signs and wonders

Revival-Lab-PosterI’m sitting in a onething conference here in the Detroit region and am finding myself provoked to cast the vision for a movement of fire that will invade and impact the cities of the Earth.

This message is for you. I am praying that God hijacks you like he hijacked me when he called me to participate in a company of burning men and women of God who will initiate and facilitate revival.

The call is to wholeheartedly embrace the mission and mandate of releasing the fire of revival to such a high degree that entire cultures are changed. Are you able to see with spiritual eyes a nation that experiences dramatic physical healings very, very easily? More easily than taking a pill.

Can you see cities where the masses are flooding into from all over the world because of tangible power and freedom that invades desperate hearts? What about entire groups of people tormented by fear, anxiety, unbelief…demons…instantly and completely delivered at the exact same time?

This is what I’m talking about. A company of burning ones releasing the fire that will result in such an culture. I am boldly asking God to capture your heart and reveal to you how you can jump in to this extreme lifestyle of fire.

So, how can you participate? Great question! We’ve gone to great lengths to schedule our ministries in such a way that most everybody in the region can participate:

  • REVIVAL CHURCH: Those who have connected with Revival Church understand immediately that we are not attempting to be a typical, local church. Our mandate is to function as a regional center of revival for the entire Detroit region. We meet on Sunday evenings, so it’s EASY for most anybody in this area to gather with us as we intentionally go after the manifest presence of God. People from other churches are advancing with us as well each week and we’ve experienced dramatic healings week after week!
  • theLab PRAYER EVENTS: God very directly mandated us to gather together 1000 people who will SNAGHTML9586c1btravel with us every Friday night from 10pm to midnight as we pray in a different church in the Detroit region each week. We intentionally scheduled these fiery prayer events late on Fridays so every pastor, leader and hungry person in the area can participate. There’s rarely a schedule conflict during this time.
  • theLab INTERNSHIP: The fire of God is raging in our current internship, and I would strongly encourage you to ask God if you are to join with us in the next session which starts on September 3rd, 2011. Even those with busy schedules can usually participate with us. This is a call to consecrate ourselves by diving deep into the burnings of God for three months. You can watch a video of people in our current internship here… it’s powerful: http://youtu.be/EhArbbSqXtI

The vision is huge…and is manifesting right before our eyes. There is a lot of prophecy surrounding the call to travel to cities with the company of revivalists we’re equipping to release fire. I see massive events, similar to what I’m experiencing here at onething, or the traveling movement of revival that John Kilpatrick is spearheading. Are you interested?

Impacting Detroit area pastors

I will be sending my new book Pharaoh in the Church to as many Detroit area pastors as I can! The vision for a prayer-fueled city is on the move!

CHECK OUT the flyer at the end of this message! Pharaoh-in-the-Church-Box-Shot-032511YOU can help us reach every single church in the region! The effort to locate and gather 1000 intercessors, plus locking arms with pastors and key leaders of the city, can be realized! Shortly after casting the vision of sharing this burning message with every Detroit area pastor, $700 came in to launch the campaign! God moved fast! This will result in approximately 250 pastors receiving the book. That leaves around 1100 more for us to reach. Each book should cost around $3 to print and mail—you can donate toward as many as you’d like at www.detroitrevivalchurch.com/donate. Please let us know that the donation is for the “BOOKS”. ALSO—there’s a VERY EXCITING opportunity for us to develop a fiery, prayer infused television pilot that we’d pitch to a variety of Christian networks. The prophetic message of revival and revolution can get out to MILLIONS. If you’d like to participate, let me know. I’m working with someone who has big vision and abilities in this area. We looked at one possible venue that could be used to create the pilot. Imagine 30 minutes of our team contending for revival through prophetic intercession, teaching and worship—for the whole world to see! It will be hard core!! Here’s a flyer that I’m including in the package for the pastors. Pray with me that it touches a lot of them deeply!! Revival-Lab-Pastor-Flyer-web

Powerful teaching video : Prophetic Authority

The faith in the room was pulled on during this powerful and challenging teaching—watch now!

imageWe are called to move from a life of low level prophetic influence, to a much more effective level of prophetic authority. Discover how in this teaching, Prophetic Authority. You can watch the video or listen to the audio at http://media.johnburton.net.

I received several comments about this teaching. It really hit home and impacted people deeply.

Here are some quotes from the video:

  • When our prayer moves into the place of deep groaning, we move from intercession to legislation.
  • Our natural analysis that fuels our prayer and our prophecy is locking us into a lesser life.
  • Doubt fueled prayer actually causes more damage than good.There's power of life & death in the tongue.It would be better not to pray at all.
  • Unbelief can cancel out even the most accurate and weighty prophecies and plans of God.
  • Regarding petition: we should stop wasting time in prayer trying to convince God to do something we don't believe he'll do.
  • If we don't deal with unbelief, our ministry will actually transfer unbelief to others, which will result in them being condemned. (Mark 16)
  • In a day when we're trying to get the church praying more, there's actually a deeper imagegraduation into a life of less petition.
  • Unbelief keeps us from moving from having mere influence to a place of operating in great authority.
