The River of God: Moving in the Flow of God's Plan for Revival

by Dutch Sheets

DUTCH SHEETS, a rising figure in the International prayer movement, describes what a person must do to prepare for revival. In what is quickly becoming known as his landmark, Sheets once again balances biblical teachings in the light of the Holy Spirit's power. What is the river of God as described in Ezekiel 47? What must we do to allow "Putting the Holy Spirit in a box" while also sidestepping excess and abuse? Sheets answers these and other crucial questions as he examines the theme of water and renewal in the Bible and it's relevance for us today.

With any book I try to see the good in them, there was not much in this one really.
It is a form of Christianity I don't really recognise, maybe it is me, but it far from my experience of struggling through the wilderness of life.
The stories these books have are somewhat interesting, but have you ever met anyone who experienced something like that, as in really experienced it, and more to the point do you need to?
Sometimes we are still a wicked and perverse generation demanding a sign when we already have the sign of the cross.
Some people may enjoy this I just found it not relatable and really a little unbelievable.

Great book! Talks about the metaphor of God’s river and the importance of seeking and encountering it. Sheets uses lots of great scripture and stories in order to prove His points. This book is more charismatic, but is definitely worth reading and that I learned and grew from. He also talks about revival a lot and talks about what hinders revival from taking place and what we can do to make sure we are in check and aligned with God.

We Need The River of God!!!

We need the River of God in our lives. Dutch Sheets point out that the River of God is necessary because we need Him to flow through us. By allowing God to fill you with His river, all your sins will be washed away. The River of God is essential for today.

Brings out good points about revival. I don't like it when the author tries to be funny.

This book not only helped me understand more of the Biblical truth of the healing and revival bringing power of the river of God, but also provides practical wisdom for how to recognize real revival and the real working of the Spirit verses what might not really be true revival. Dutch Sheets is both knowledgeable of the Word and experienced in dealing with revival and the movement of the Spirit around the world.
