Matt Sorger Report On Picking Up Welsh Revival Mantle

PICKING UP THE REVIVAL MANTLE PART 1 OF 3

RE-DIGGING THE WELLS OF WORLD-WIDE REVIVAL

On October 31, 2004 we celebrated the 100th year anniversary of the historic Welsch Revival of 1904. The Lord sent me to Wales during this kairos moment to seek Him in prayer and to minister at a national Wales Youth Conference to help re-dig this ancient well of revival and to see a new well opened up. The Lord came in a powerful way and spoke some significant things to my heart concerning the prophetic hour we are living in. In this article I will share with you some of the personal experiences I had with the Lord during prayer and the words He spoke to me.

To give you some background on the Welsch Revival, the power of God invaded this community of coal mines and farms back in October of 1904. The day the revival began was October 31, 1904, when the life of a young revivalist named Evan Roberts was touched by the flame of God. Before the revival broke out in a national way, Evan Roberts was visited by God's glory for 3-4 months every night from 1am to 5am. At times the light and glory of God would be so great upon him that his bed would physically shake. Evan Roberts was quoted as saying "I have reached out my hand and touched the flame. I am burning and waiting for a sign." This was shortly before the revival was unleashed upon the entire community. Evan Roberts was so moved during a meeting in which Seth Joshua, an evangelist was preaching. Evan cried out "Bend me, oh God!" From there under the direction of the Lord he called a meeting with the youth and that is where it all began. The young people were moved u! pon by the power of the Spirit and soon the entire region was set ablaze with revival fire.

The revival had such an impact on the region that prostitutes were getting saved and opening up Bible studies. Bars and movie houses were closing down. So many coal miners were getting saved that the mules hade to be retrained because they were so used to commands with curse words. The community was covered with a tangible awareness of God's presence. The unsaved couldn't help but repent and give their hearts fully to God. It was a national level revival where not only was the church set ablaze but the surrounding communities as well were converted and transformed.


ENGLAND-PREPARING THE WAY FOR THE KING OF GLORY TO COME IN

During my recent trip to England and Wales, I had several life changing encounters with the fire of God. Here is a written account of what transpired during those days.

Friday morning, October 22, 2004 we began our series of weekend meetings in Nottingham, England called "Igniting the Fire". I received a profound visitation during the worship that set the stage for the rest of the weekend. I was prepared to teach on healing that morning when I received a visitation of the holy fire of God.

VISITATION OF A BURNING FIERY SERAPHIM ANGEL

Standing next to me I became acutely aware of a "fiery angelic being" like that of the seraphim in Isaiah 6. It resembled a hot fiery pillar of Glory. I could physically feel the heat coming from it and reached out my hand into it. The temperature raised at least 20 degrees in that specific spot. The Lord began to speak to me about a visitation of His fire and of the King of Glory and instructed us to prophecy to the doors that the King of Glory would come in (Psa. 24:9). We were making preparations for a visitation from Him. The Lord showed me the throne of glory with the fiery seraphim flying overhead proclaiming to one another "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, the whole earth is full of His glory!" They proclaimed the holiness of God and prophesied of His glory covering the whole earth. The Lord gave me insights into this visitation Isaiah had with the King of Glory and the fiery burning seraphim angels found in Isaiah 6. Out of this encounter with ! the purging fire came a commissioning and a release into the destiny and purposes of God in the earth for mass harvest. We welcomed the fire of God and the living coals from His altar to purge us of sin. We continued throughout the day to teach on the fire of God and the fresh baptism that God is bringing to the church in this hour. It's a fire of purging, holiness, deliverance, passion and devotion and empowerment. Through this fire the whole earth will be covered with God's glory.

THE CORPORATE MANIFESTATION OF THE FIRE OF GOD

That night we gathered again in the sanctuary. It was one of the most unusual services I had ever been a part of. About a half hour before the meeting began my body temperature rose as I physically began to burn with a supernatural heat. As we came into the meeting I was constrained by the Holy Spirit and forbidden to preach. I had a message ready but it wasn't what God wanted. He wanted to demonstrate what He had been showing us all day about His fire. As we drove into the parking lot the Lord gave me a vision of "fire balls" coming from around the region and hitting the roof of the church and coming into the sanctuary. I believe it was both His fiery glory and also fiery angelic beings been sent into the church for this time. Many times the angels carry something of the glory of God on them because they have been in His throne room and glory and they carry it on them. So while there is angelic visitation involved they really are servants of the purposes of God! in helping release and bring the move of the Spirit and glory of God into the earth. As Hebrews says they are "flames of fire" sent to minister to those who will inherit salvation (Heb. 1:7, 14).

There was no preaching that night as God's fire swept through the sanctuary and corporately moved upon the congregation. Many were caught up into visions and could see the door open into the heavenlies with living water being poured down upon us. Many became physically hot as the fire of God burned in them. A corporate wave of intercession moved upon the congregation as people began to cry out to God. Many humbled their hearts before God and prayed in repentance for the sins of the land. It was a glorious time.


THE GLORY OF GOD IS IN THE HOUSE!

Sunday night the power of God hit the congregation again in a powerful way as many became filled with new wine. As God's glory moved throughout the room many became overcome by the Spirit, some for hours as they lay on the floor groaning in the Spirit. A deep impartation was released. After several hours in the glory of God a depth of the Holy of Holies came into the room releasing many into visions and a life changing encounter with the depths of God's heart. My own uncle was overcome by the Spirit and began crying out "I can see the Glory!" He was so compelled by the Spirit that he ran outside the church and cried out for all to hear "the Glory of God is in the house!"

A YOUNG GIRL'S EYES ARE OPENED TO SEE THE ANGELIC REALM

A young handicapped girl's eyes were opened to see the angelic realm. As we were praying for her we asked God to open her spiritual vision. Suddenly she looked up into the corner of the room with eyes wide and a joyful smile on her face as her eyes beheld what our eyes could not see. Her gazed was fixed for some time in that direction. Children have a special place in God's heart with the innocence and purity of their hearts.

MANY SAVED AND HEALED

For some it was their first time in a service like this and they were gloriously saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. There were at least 10 salvations that weekend. Many others rededicated their hearts to God as well.

Here are some of the healing testimonies that came this weekend.

A woman testified Sunday to the Lord healing her eyesight. She was from Columbia and was suffering from a loss of eyesight. As I prayed for her I could feel the faith radiating from her spirit. She quickly testified with great joy to the healing of her eyesight.

Many responded to words of knowledge for healing called out during the meetings and were powerfully touched by the Spirit. Another woman responded to a word of knowledge about a condition hindering childbirth and as we prayed the power of God shook her body to the floor. We are expecting a testimony of a new baby on the way!

"I suffered from muscle damage and soft tissue damage to the knee. I had received ultrasound therapy. After a time of intercession and a Jericho march the Holy Spirit took hold of my leg and shook it." All the pain was gone!
Marie Day, Nottingham, England

"I have felt really touched by the ministry at this conference with Matt. I have been suffering with sciatica and I feel a release of pain in my legs. I also am being released in emotional and spiritual areas where past experiences have held me back so that I can move on with God."
Margaret Wood, Sandiacre, England

"I have suffered from a broken right scaffold bone in my wrist. It was broken three times. I also had arthritis. I had taken anti inflammatory drugs for the pain and arthritis. I also had cortisone shots to the wrist joint. During the Saturday morning Jericho march round the churh I suddenly realized that all the pain had left my wrist. I found that I had full movement and all the swelling had gone down. I asked my husband to squeeze my wrist tightly. This would normally have caused me great pain, but there was no pain at all. Praise the Lord."
Maureen Grummity, Nottingham, England

"I suffered from high blood pressure. I was on blood pressure tablets for about a month. After the Jericho march the anointing came upon me and I went on the floor. Matt prayed for someone's heart. I felt the Lord on my heart resulting in a heartbeat and the Lord said "It is finished. I will be going to get it checked out within the week."
Susan Handley, age 44, Nottingham, England

Only eternity can truly chronicle all of the healing and restoration that took place in people's lives.

Part 2 of 3

SPECIAL EDITION-PICKING UP THE REVIVAL MANTLE PART 2 OF 3

Matt ministering in southern Wales in Aberdare.

100 years ago in this village 520 people were saved out of 600 homes. It was one of the villages Evan Robert's preached in.

THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD'S GLORY OUTSIDE THE CHURCH

The following Monday my team and I went about the city for some sightseeing. As we sat down in McDonald's for lunch again we were visited by the Glory of God right in the middle of the restaurant. I was so overcome by the Glory that all I could do was pray in the Spirit for about an hour. This was a prophetic sign of where the Glory is going in this hour. God's Glory won't be confined to church buildings but will be carried into "everyday" life as God's people learn to live in that realm of the Spirit. We can truly carry His glory with us everywhere we go.

THE GLORY OF GOD IN WALES-A VISITATION OF REVIVAL FIRE

Our trip to Wales was a continuation of what God began in England. We were not only celebrating the 100th year anniversary of the Welsch Revival, October 31, 1904, but we were also pressing in for a release of a new move of God's Spirit worldwide.

There is something significant God is releasing with a holy revival flame. As we entered the meeting that night with several hungry churches gathered together from southern Wales I was taken in the Spirit before the altar of God. As we worshipped the Lord the presence of God invaded the atmosphere of that Welsch chapel that could surprisingly fit 600 with it's U-shaped balcony pews hovering overhead. The ground floor was full of people passionately worshipping God with an expectation of what God would do.

A VISION OF THE FIRE OF GOD ON THE ALTAR

I was taken in a vision and could see before me the altar of the Lord and a flame burning on the altar. God took me to Lev. 6:13 which reads "A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out." The voice of the Lord spoke to me "I am looking for those who will tend the flame upon my altar." Suddenly my hands began to burn with an intense heat and I could see in the Spirit what looked like flames of fire reaching upward of 4-5 feet in height. I knew this was the revival flame and that the Spirit of God was calling His people to tend to the fire upon the altar and not let it go out.

That night as we gathered around the altars the Spirit of God moved powerfully. Many became overcome by the Spirit and were "slain" under His power. There was also a wonderful release of divine healing. One of the words the Lord gave me was someone who had a pain running down their back and leg. At least five people were instantly healed of back and leg pain that they had suffered from for years. It was a glorious time in God's presence. There was also a wonderful prophetic anointing present as the Lord encouraged the hearts of several in the meeting.


THE BIRTHPLACE-MORIAH CHAPEL-A FIRE BALL FROM HEAVEN

The following day we went to visit Moriah Chapel and the Moriah Schoolroom which is where the revival broke out 100 years ago as 26 year old Evan Roberts cried out "Bend me, oh God!" As I entered the old chapel I could still feel a lingering sense of God's presence. Again I had an encounter with the fire of God. As I climbed the steps to the elevated pulpit I knelt down on my knees and again prayed for God to awaken His church. I was taken in a vision and saw what looked like a ball of fire heading towards the earth. I believe this is the move of God that is coming and is already being kindled in the hearts of God's people. I stood to my feet and from that sacred desk from which Evan Roberts 100 years ago proclaimed the word of God I read Joel 2:23-32.

That night we gathered again with God's people and the Lord gave me a word on preparing a highway for the Lord, a highway in the wilderness and a highway of holiness. I shared on the preparations of a forerunner, those that are sent ahead to prepare the way of His coming.

THE LORD SAID TO ME "PICK UP THE MANTLE."

The following night we had a wonderful anointing service as we ministered on the transferable power of the anointing and the release of the revival flame and mantle. Earlier that week while I was in prayer in my hotel room I had a vision of the revival mantle. As I was praying I saw what looked like a brown mantle lying at my feet. I instantly knew what it was. It was the revival mantle and anointing from generations past. The voice of the Lord came to me "Pick it up." It came as a command from the Lord. It was as if God was saying "What are you waiting for? Pick it up." There was no more special revelation needed. I understood that the mantle of revival that has been past down from generation to generation was now being made available and offered to this generation. I reached down and picked it up into my hands and drew it close to my heart and then wrapped it around myself. I was laying hold of what God said was now available.


IT'S TIME TO PICK UP THE DOUBLE PORTION REVIVAL MANTLE!

But there was something in my heart not satisfied. The Lord then brought me to the account of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2 and began to speak to me about the transference of mantles and the double portion! As seen in the lives of Moses and Joshua in Joshua 1 and Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2 there is a transference of anointing and mantle as one generation passes and the next is raised up. Over the past several years there have been several great generals of the faith that have passed off the scene, including Bill Bright, Derek Prince and Kenneth Hagen. All three carried the power of God and were endowed with special ministry mantles from the Lord. When a person carrying such a mantle passes off the scene that anointing and mantle doesn't disappear. It becomes available in the Spirit for the next generation to pick up and run with.

There are revival mantles now being offered by the Lord to those who will truly burn with a passion for the Lord and tend His fire on the altar. I believe we can see an entire generation pick up the mantle Evan Roberts carried 100 years ago in Wales and see another world wide awakening take place where the church is consumed with the Holy Spirit and carry His glory and power to the ends of the earth. With this revival mantle not only will the church be awakened but also the lost will be drawn by the irresistible force of the Holy Spirit. This is the revival mantle Evan Roberts carried. But that was 100 years ago. We can't live on yesterday's victory. We need to continue to claim ground for the Kingdom of God today. It's time to pick up the revival mantle and burn with the fire of God in such a way that we become possessed by the Holy Spirit and see His glory truly cover the whole earth.

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO THE DOUBLE PORTION

As God brought me to the account of Elijah and Elisha He began to give me revelation on the double portion anointing. When Elijah was about to be taken off the earth he turned to his spiritual son Elisha and asked in 2 Kings 2:9 "What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha boldly petitioned "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." His request was granted. As Elijah ascended in a whirlwind of fire, Elisha took up the mantle that had fallen from Elijah and cried out "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?"

There is a new breed of young revivalists that are crying out "Where is the Lord God of Evan Roberts? Where is the Lord God of Kathryn Kulman? Where is the Lord God of Aimee Semple McPherson? Where is the Lord God of Smith Wigglesworth? WHERE IS THE LORD GOD OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST?"

You see, it was the right of the first born to lay hold of the double portion, as seen in Deut. 21:17 "He shall acknowledge the son…as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has…the right of the firstborn is his."

God gave me a powerful revelation on our right to the double portion.

Col. 1:15 declares about Jesus Christ "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation."

Since Jesus is the firstborn Son of God, He has all the rights to the inheritance of the double portion from His Heavenly Father. That includes all of His authority, power and glory. This divine truth not only affected the life of Christ but affects you and me as well.

Eph. 1:3, 5, 11 declares "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will."

In Christ we also share the fullness of EVERY spiritual blessing and inheritance that belongs to Jesus. That includes the right of the firstborn son's inheritance, the DOUBLE PORTION! In Christ we have access to the double portion blessing and anointing.

Jesus Himself said in John 14:12 "Greater works than these he will do because I go to my Father."

It was after Jesus went to His Father that the promise of the Holy Spirit was given (John 14:16).

When Jesus ascended in Luke 24:51, He released a patriarchal blessing over the disciples. "Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven." Compare this with the account of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2 and also with the Old Testament Patriarchs who would bless their children before departing (Gen. 49). But it was the right of the firstborn to get the double portion. In Christ we have access to this anointing and blessing.

We must go after and pursue with boldness like Elisha the double portion of the Sprit even that rested upon Jesus! This is the "greater works" mantle that sees a release of double blessing through the abiding power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

As I was praying that week in Wales I aggressively sought the mantle of revival that rested on Evan Roberts 100 years ago. In reality what I was seeking for was the same Holy Spirit that rested on Christ 2000 years ago, only I wanted a double portion.

PART 3 OF 3

SPECIAL EDITION-PICKING UP THE REVIVAL MANTLE
The picture to the left is 26 year old Evan Roberts during the Welsch revival.

THE REVIVAL MANTLES OF OLD ARE BEING MADE AVAILABLE NOW!

In this hour there is coming a holy invitation to those who will passionately seek God with all of their hearts, lay down their own agendas, and live for one thing, the glory and honor of God. It's time to pick up the ancient mantles of old. They are being made available to us again in this hour.

When I arrived home several days later I was with my friend Todd Bentley in New York for a crusade. While sitting on the front row I was again caught up into the Spirit. For about 2 hours I was overcome by His glory. As I sat in the seat I could feel something laying across my lap and down over my legs. It felt like a covering of God's presence and glory. I specifically felt it over my lap and legs. Suddenly Todd cried out from the platform "Matt, I can see it with my eyes open! There's a BIG, FAT MANTLE LYING ACROSS YOUR LAP. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE! IT'S THE DOUBLE PORTION MANTLE OF ELIJAH AND ELISHA!" Without knowing what I had experienced the week before in Wales and the revelation God was giving me about the double portion, by the Spirit Todd saw and identified what was happening and could physically see the mantle I had laid hold of the week before in Wales.

HUMILTY AND SERVANTHOOD

Several days later the Lord continued to unfold the revelation to me about this mantle. It was of an ordinary brown color and covered my lap and legs, like an apron. An ordinary, plain brown apron. Why an apron? And why so "ordinary"? I quickly realized what God was saying. This revival mantle was not to bring glory to oneself. It was not "flashy". Rather it was very plain. Also it spoke of humility and servanthood.

God brought me to Luke 22:24-30. They were disputing as to which was the greatest. Jesus proclaimed "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them. But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. I am among you as One who serves."

The revival mantle is a mantle of humility and servanthood where the purposes of God are fulfilled in the earth through loving God with a pure heart and serving others just as we would serve God. There is no room for self exaltation. All the glory goes to God.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE REVIVAL FIRE HITS OVER 100 WELSH YOUNG PEOPLE

That weekend, the weekend of October 31, 2004, exactly 100 years from the outbreak of one of the greatest and most historic moves of God in history we gathered in mid Wales with over 100 young people from throughout north, mid and south Wales. Saturday night on the eve of the outbreak of the revival the Lord came in a powerful way. The young people were all caught up in the Spirit of God together as they passionately worshipped God with dancing, shouting and great rejoicing. The energy of the Spirit was electrifying. I shared on the outpouring of the presence of God with signs, wonders and miracles and how God was raising up an army of young people again in this hour to carry the glory and flame of revival to the world. I proclaimed what God had spoken to me about the revival mantles made available to this generation. I truly believe that the potential is there for a mass of young people to receive this mantle and corporately help usher in under the power of the Spirit another great move of God that will not only see the church revived and set aflame but also see the society around us impacted with His holy convicting presence and love. As we sent the call out for those who would commit themselves to tend the flame of God on the altar and pick up the mantle and calling God had for them over 100 young people stood to their feet ready to reach out and touch the flame of God.

THE FOUR MAIN POINTS OF THE WELSCH REVIVAL

Before revival broke out in Wales Evan Roberts is quoted with saying "I have reached out my hand and I have touched the flame. I am burning and waiting for a sign." It was just several months after receiving this visitation from the very presence of God from 1am till 5am every morning that the national revival broke out. Sometimes His presence would be so great that Evan Robert's bed would shake as he was caught up into the glory. Suddenly the Welsch chapels that dotted the country side were packed to overflowing as thousands gave their hearts to Christ within a period of just several months. Evan Roberts was sent from chapel to chapel as the Spirit led him to exhort the people to turn to God with all of their hearts. There were four main points he preached in the revival.

1. Fully repent of all sin.
2. Deal with anything doubtful in your life.
3. Give instant obedience to the Holy Spirit and never quench His moving in the church including when people would be moved by the Spirit to pray out in church.
4. Make a public confession of Christ.


A HOLY VISITATION AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN WALES

That night as over 100 young people committed their hearts to Christ and cried out for the fire of God the electrifying power of the Spirit swept through the room. Young people were "slain out" under the power of God all across the room. There was truly an ignition of a revival flame. Young people could be heard loudly weeping under the Spirit for over an hour. Others laughed and were filled with a holy joy. Some shook under the power and others testified of an electrifying feeling going through their bodies. Then a mighty wave of healing swept through the room. Over 17 young people were instantly healed in their bodies. Others were set free from oppression including suicidal thoughts, depression, rejection, fear, and isolation. Many wept as God healed the hurts from years past. It was a glorious time, a token of God's touch on this young generation.

MIRACLE TESTIMONIES FROM THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN WALES

"I suffered from digestive problems which meant when I ate certain foods I had incredible stomach pains. I was treated by a doctor and had a blood test but they didn't know what was causing my stomach pains. When I was prayed for I started shaking in my legs and it went up all my body. The pain in my stomach started moving higher up and it got smaller until it finally disappeared and it felt normal for the fist time in 3 years."
Rebekah Shaw, age 18, Wrexham, Wales

"I was suffering from depression and was about to go on an anti-depressent medication from the doctor. I went to Beyond a Christian youth camp in Wales. I went stressed and depressed and could not feel comfortable. I felt scared, nervous and kept thinking "Why did I come?" I just could not focus on God. I kept praying asking Him to help. It was because I was focusing on my problems at home too much and I did not give them fully into God's hands. It became a barrier and I did not want to worship but then Saturday night I cast my eyesight and Focus on God in the worship. For ten minutes I just worshiped God in my own way. I had visions and felt happy in myself. I had totally forgotten everything and focused on God and the night just got better and better. It was an amazing experience. Thank You Lord. God cracked me open like a nutshell."
Jade Zeck, age 14, Pembroke, Wales

"I have struggled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). When I was prayed for my mind went blank rather then thinking about other things which has never happened before."
Jon Lumb, Wrexham, Wales

"I had a burn and a scar for life. I have been having pains and on the 30th of October the pains went all away. All the people were my witnesses."
Hannah Rhiannon, age 13, Cardiff, Wales

"At a youth weekend in Wales, Matt preached in the morning and everything he said felt like knives stabbing my deepest thoughts and feelings. Everything he said was for me. I cried and cried and hit the floor for about 20 minutes. I wept and God took all the parts of my life that the devil had stolen. Dreams for God came back and now I am going to Africa in August 2005. God is good. In the evening Matt prayed for my mind to be clear and wham, it was. When praying for healing I felt stuff impart and now I am on fire. God is now my Daddy!"
Josie Wolstenholme, age 17, Wrexham, Wales

"I have suffered from 'water on the knee'. I went to the hospital and was told not to do too much sports or I could have it for life. I have had this knee condition for nearly two years. It has been hurting on and off and started hurting again on the evening of October 29th. It started to really hurt today during the evening service. I was being prayed for and I felt a tingling going through
Kate Cornish, Age 14, Wrexham, Wales

"At the Christian Center, I was trying to worship God by jumping up and down on the evening meeting when my knee started to act up. It has been doing this for months and hurts whenever I put a sudden shock through it. Someone prayed for me and the pain went away but on the evening meeting I was prayed for by Matt and others. I felt something seeping out of my knee and the pain has disappeared!"
Joshua King, Age 13, Wrexham, Wales

"My knee hurt and I had extreme pain during the day when walking. I was unable to run and walk up stairs. At the Beyond Youth Weekend my knee was getting worse and worse. Matt prayed and I felt it change. I was able to run up and down the stairs! It' all ok. Praise God!"
Paul Stevens, age 25, Wrexham, Wales
