Do You Have a Passion to Cultivate Revival in Family?
Throughout history, family is the fireplace of revival. And revival is Jesus. Almost all major revivals have one thing in common; they were ignited in the context of family. From Pentecost to the Moravians to the Great Awakening to the Azusa Street Revival, these were all birthed when a small community of friends gathered together hungry to encounter more of God. The family of God is the seedbed of revival as well as the structure necessary to sustain it. There are keys in history that will prepare us to steward the Billion Soul harvest as well as impart hunger for a new move of God in our day.
There is a need to equip and raise up spiritual mothers and fathers who can gather and disciple the incoming harvest. The School of Revival 101 has a special focus on raising up spiritual parents who are catalysts, revivalists, and reformers who will carry the fire and love of Jesus to transform their environment while remaining in family. Ecourse has now been launched.

Testimonies from SOR 101
Here are a few of the recent testimonies from the recent online School of Revival 101 on the theme of “Family is the Fireplace of Revival” in May 16-27, 2020 during the Covid-19 lockdown and just before the race riots.
This school of revival is by far the best school I've ever attended, bar none. This was the first school whose sessions I awaited with great anticipation. I can't remember any other school where I was like that in my whole life. After the school, I cannot imagine going back to a place where I was an isolated individual. Being connected means being empowered. Being connected to a small group of believers sharing the same passion for revival that is Jesus is a God-given blessing and birthright for any born-again Christians—this I know now. The session on the Azusa Street Revival was so anointed that I could feel the weaker part of my body being energized and strengthened. The sacrifices the leaders of the Welsh Revival and Azusa Revival had made left an indelible mark on my heart. It's been long since I became curious about the Moravians, but this was my first exposure to that glorious movement of God. I felt indebted to the incredible sacrifices they made for the world missions, which carried the Gospel to the far ends of the world where someone like me live. The question, "Can you sell yourself into slavery if you have to?" will keep prodding me. Yes, this may be shared anywhere.

I was so blessed by learning of those who sensed revival in their bones before it was ever manifest, and who partnered with the Spirit to birth what they were sensing. It was not only a marvel to admire, but it was a call to step into. Learning of these revivals birthed an expectation, hunger, and eagerness to see the Spirit release revival again, and it was so encouraging and stirring to realize that I can be a part of releasing and stewarding the next great move of Holy Spirit and whatever He wants to do.
The biggest takeaway from this class was that I don’t have to wait until revival is manifest before I begin to partner with the Spirit for its release on the earth. What God has done in my life during this time of class has been so encouraging. Doing this course helped me realize that even though I didn’t see it during the hard times, that God has been doing a massive work in my heart, and that He is going to be faithful to release what he has planted in me to feed others as well. That seems a bit obtuse, but that’s really the huge thing that I’m grateful on a personal heart level. I’m so grateful for each of you and for the gift of having been able to walk through this class with you guys!

This school is so special because Holy Spirit works on the school. For example, I joined unexpectedly because Holy Spirit tossed my body on and off for about 20-30 minutes when I listened to the lecture of Dr. Miskov on Azusa Revival. My husband who joined the class was listening to the first session and I was lying down on couch, right next to him. Then when she started lecturing on Azusa Revival, my body started to react. I thought I was nudged by Holy Spirit, so I joined. Because God never disappoints me, I received unexpected revelations, fire, inspirations, and dreams from the school. Being connected to like-minded people was also a gift of God. Dr. Miskov is in divine leadership and she creates an atmosphere that is just right temperature for all to bathe in. I think the biggest take-aways of this class were that I was able to understand my Father's heart when I made the stone of remembrance video and second, I think something supernatural is activated in my spirit. Thank you Dr. Miskov and other students for sharing this time. I found great men and women of God here.

This school has stirred the gifts and callings and the mantle that has been on my life before the foundation of this world. It was also given me the push that I needed to step out into the deep waters. In addition, to be able to have a spiritual community and family has affirmed and accepted what God is doing in my life, which is healing for me because of my past rejections.
-Nikkole Worship-Wilson, TX
This time together has been filled with life. Each moment, an encounter with Holy Spirit and an awakening within. The fire deposited will ignite more flames. The wonders that will be birthed will be fruitful in each of our lives. Thank you Jen Miskov for creating the space for the flames of revival to be lit. This time was powerful and I am grateful.

The word “revival” is frequently used in many churches and ministry streams. We all say that we want revival, but do we really know what that means? Do we really know what we’re asking for when we say, “Lord, send revival?” By taking a close look at revivals through history, The School of Revival answers those questions and identifies those common elements necessary to welcome and sustain revival. I knew of some of these elements prior to taking this class, but now these are clear given God’s history in revival. As a senior leader, the identification of these key elements is essential to establishing ministry mission priorities and activities in preparation for, in experiencing, and sustaining revival. Kingdom come!

I have a crazy testimony for everyone. Wednesday night when Dr. Jennifer Miskov prayed to sever the spiritual noose around my neck, I didn’t know she was talking to me. But I received that prayer and continued praying everything she said multiple times that night and the next morning. I could imagine the noose being the reason my neck is curved the wrong way, bent sideways some and has degenerated discs. Throughout yesterday I noticed my neck wasn’t nearly as uncomfortable or in as much pain as usual, almost like I didn’t hardly have to think about it. I usually think about it nonstop. Anyhow, I went to the chiropractor today (prescheduled) and shared with him about Wednesday night, including the noose vision and how I was feeling. He said “you’ve never walked in here and told me your neck felt good!” He felt around my neck as I continued to share, and then instead of adjusting my neck he pulled his stool around and said, “what denomination are you?” Then said “you know I’m a Christian, I believe God did something in your neck, and I can’t out-do God. I’m not adjusting or touching your neck today. A lot of the tension in your neck is gone.” He said to wait and review it again next week. God is good. And I think it sparked something in my chiropractor. He seemed amazed and shocked and curious. I went on a limb to share the deep details but I wanted him to know and see what he thought. I’m glad I did. Thank you all for your prayers that night.
