The Gentle Breeze of Jesus
NEW EVIDENCES OF REVIVAL
A revival is a burst of religious enthusiasm, a spectacular bit of frenzy that dies away as quickly as it comes - right?
Wrong - if the Timor revival means anything.
In this book, Mel Tari adds to the documentation he began in Like a Mighty Wind. On his native island in Indonesia, he says, Moslems and animists are still coming to accept Jesus Christ.
Incurable illnesses are still being mircaulously healed.
Satanic powers are still being overcome.
Water is still being turned into wine for Communion services.
The dead are still being raised back to life.
And Christians are still growing and maturing in their faith.
The Holy Spirit's surge of activity continues unabated.
Which may tell us that revival is more the result of human openness and humility than of any alleged heavenly whimsy.
Revival continues so long as we make room for it. So long as we do not tell ourselves, "This can't be hapening." Indonesian believers have lived in its stream since 1965. And the gentle breeze is not limited to the South Pacific.

I Love Jesus.
The Power that makes Mel a Man of God as it were from the time God became the Judge standing at the door to give men great destiny through the provided strength of Christianity is accessible these days. If filled by Spirit of God today, I cannot fail as a 100% Omega child.

What a powerful collection of testimonies interwoven with challenging personal application sections. I didn't want to stop reading, yet I had to, because the practical challenges were so deep and convicting. Though this might be called a book of miracles the miracle stories are only told to draw the reader to a greater thing that of the intimate relationship with Jesus.

Another fun filled, faith building book from Mel Tari! I liked this one as much as the first ("Like A Mighty Wind")! I love how he really shows the love of God through this one too.

Some remarkable miracles are spoken of in this book. It is written as a follow-up to Like a Mighty Wind (a true story of the 1970's Christian-revival in Timor, Indonesia). In this work, Mel shares more of His thoughts on the importance of receiving the treasure of God's love in the midst of displaying God's power. Definitely worth the time it takes to dive into such peculiar wisdom.
