Heavenly Man: 'Europe is going to be raised from the dead'

"We visited [Europe's] empty churches and the churches were having an internal meeting together but the river was not flowing out of the church and I became really worried and concerned in my spirit," he told.

"And I was speaking in conferences and meetings with tens of thousands of people that were so crowded but there was not even a word that challenged about missions and going out and bringing the world to salvation.

"So once again the Lord started to challenge me and said you have to preach out the message about how to bring the church out from the lukewarm Christianity to become true disciples of Christ."

He said, however, that European church leaders have lost hope in revival.

"Europe is going to be raised from the dead but many of these leaders can't believe that. They are shaking their heads."

He continued: "There is a great need of one thing at the church in Europe. Everything except the presence of the living water and the possibility for the living water to run out of the church - that is the only thing missing from the church."

"Your church may be the wealthiest church but when God is looking at that church God is saying you are poor, you are naked, you are sick. And I think God is going to call smaller groups of people who start to repent in tears and pray and ask God to have mercy upon our nation and mercy upon our city and they will bring the Kingdom presence back upon that society."

Brother Yun challenged Europe's Christians not to remain lying at the pool of Bethesda like the paralysed man for 38 years.

"Jesus is the source of living water. You are still lying there," he told the audience.

"You have to receive the same faith as the blind man at the Gate of Jericho who cried out, 'Son of David have mercy on me,' or the woman who came behind Jesus and touched His cloak and her life was totally changed.

"Your need is to get hold of Jesus, not to get hold of any famous pastor or anybody else. You need Jesus.

"And if a new generation of believers rise in this nation who say we only want to get hold of Jesus, we need Jesus, that is the beginning of resurrection for this country."

He concluded with the assurance that Europe was on the cusp of revival.

"I see very clearly Europe is going to be raised from the dead and is going to break out a revival. As I have been travelling around Europe and visiting the different denominations and churches I have understood that there is a time right now when the compassion of the Lord is coming upon Europe.

"We need this stream of living water to come into our midst and bring change. Do you have this desire and prayer in your life: 'May I become one of those who are flooding out the river of god, make my church to be the one where the stream of living water is flooding to the needs of the world.

"Jesus is unchanged. He still says if somebody is thirsty come to Me and drink and anyone who believes in Me as Scriptures say, streams of living water will flow from within them."
