Pat Emerick emphasizes that genuine revival through the fresh filling of the Holy Spirit is essential for the Church's endurance and the fulfillment of the Great Commission in every generation.
This sermon emphasizes the necessity of genuine revival in the Church worldwide, highlighting the importance of each generation being filled afresh with the Holy Spirit. The Church's endurance for 2,000 years is attributed to the Holy Spirit's continuous guidance, underscoring the vital role of surrendering to Him for the next generation of believers to emerge. The call is to be filled with the Holy Spirit's love, enabling believers to share the Gospel with those who do not know Christ and support fellow believers, ultimately uniting all around the throne in worship.

Full Transcript

I believe genuine revival is necessary for the Church around the world, and each generation must have a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. The Church has lasted for 2,000 years because the Holy Spirit continues to push it along. And if the Spirit's not involved, if we're not living lives that He can use, there won't be a next generation of Christians. So we must surrender. He must fill us with His love, His love for those who don't know Him so that we can tell them, but His love for those who do know Him so that we can help them. Together, we can all end up around the throne. There's nothing greater that we can have than the filling of the Holy Spirit in the whole Church. I'm not talking about one tradition or another, the entire body of Christ. Each generation needs to be refueled for the completion of the Great Commission.
