Why do you believe what you believe? Do you base it on your own
opinions, other people's opinions, popular culture, scholars, the

It has long been accepted that the Revival owed much of its initial impetus to the Moravian Church but previous accounts of the Moravian's role have been inadequate and overly dependent on Wesleyan sources. Colin Podmore uses original material from British and German archives to dispel common misunderstandings about the Moravians, and to reveal that their influence was much greater than has previously been acknowledged.

world tumbles into darkness, credibility issues have arisen within
the prophetic movement, causing believers to be disillusioned,
frustrated and unsure whom to trust. Yet God is speaking more

leads, you will speak peace to the enemy's storms and be the light
the world so desperately needs.
