Warrior for Revival is a riveting account of how the Lord Jesus touched the life of a young man, Philip Mantofa, delivered him from the depths of violence and depression, and used him mightily as a chosen vessel of revival in Indonesia and Asia. While Pastor Philip was still in his twenties, a divine firebrand sparked city-wide revivals which were noted for creating immediate and enduring impact, particularly among young people. More than 100,000 people experienced salvation while scores of youths were equipped and commissioned to pioneer thriving local churches. Such a transforming anointing and influence can only arise from a life deeply rooted in Scripture and an intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Warrior for Revival is evidence that God is able to raise young people to become standard-bearers even for the older generation.
The highlights of this book are the glimpses at Philip Mantofa's fervency in prayer and his fierce allegiance to scripture. More than simply the staggering numbers of people he has touched with the gospel, I am struck by his resolve to not relegate the Bible to the periphery of his studies, but rather keep it front and center. His success in ministry has come as a result of his dedication to the word of God.
Great insight into a man of God's life. It's a biography with several short stories of Ps. Phillips childhood, struggles with amazing demonic powers, his old fighting addictions, and the change to become one of the most anointed men of God, I believe, for this generation.
Recommend to youth as his stories will inspire and motivate since all these were stories before he hit 30.
If you want some encouragement to really press in to God for greater things this book is a great catalyst. Phillip Mantofa is an example of what God can do with a man who is fully surrendered, obedient, humble and earnest in prayer. Such a huge impact on young people!
