"Rome is your prophetic destination." – Emmanuel Cannistraci, 1999
"Australia is the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit." – Pedro de Quiros, 1615
Discussion Questions:- What do you think it means for Australia to have a prophetic destiny in global revival?
- How might God be calling us, both personally and as a Life Group, to prepare for it?
We are not just passive observers of revival—we are called to build towards it.Opening Game: “Seed and Soil”
Purpose: To illustrate how revival requires both the Spirit’s movement and a ready heart for discipleship.
Instructions:
Give each person a slip of paper with one of the four soil types from Matthew 13:3-9 (Parable of the Sower).
In pairs, discuss:
- What does this soil type represent?
- How does it apply to personal discipleship and revival?
Regroup and share insights.
Discussion Questions:- Which soil type best represents the Australian church today?
- How can we, as a Life Group, cultivate "good soil" for revival to take root?
Revival cannot grow where the soil is not ready.1. Biblical Foundation: The Call to Multiplication Key Scriptures:
Acts 1:8 – "Be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Matthew 13:3-9 – The Parable of the Sower illustrating the potential for multiplication.
Ephesians 4:11-16 – Every believer is called to equip others for ministry.
Discussion Questions:- Where do we see multiplication in these scriptures?
- What does it mean for us to shift from being consumers to builders of revival?
- What mindsets or habits do we need to change to be ready for multiplication?
Revival is not just about receiving—it’s about equipping and sending others.2. Historical Patterns of Revival Key Examples:
Acts Growth: 120 → 3,000 → 5,000+ families (Spirit-led multiplication).
Hebrides Revival (1949): 300 → 600+ people gathering spontaneously in prayer, leading to mass repentance.
Isaiah 44:3: "I will pour water on thirsty land." Revival comes where people are hungry for God.
Discussion Questions:- What common patterns do we see in these revivals?
- How does prayer play a role in both biblical and historical revivals?
- Do we personally and corporately prioritize prayer the way these revivals did?
Revival isn’t just an event—it’s a result of consistent, hungry prayer.3. Revival vs. Awakening (5 mins)Definition:
Revival = A fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit within the Church.
Awakening = When revival overflows and impacts the broader culture.
Discussion Questions:- Have you ever experienced personal revival? What sparked it?
- What would it look like for revival in our church to overflow into our city?
A church experiencing revival should naturally lead to a city experiencing awakening.4. Leadership & Discipleship Infrastructure Leadership Square Model (Multiplication Process):
"I do, you watch, we talk""I do, you help, we talk""You do, I help, we talk""You do, I watch, we talk"Discussion Questions:- Where do you see yourself in this Leadership Square?
- Who in your life could you begin investing in as a disciple?
- Are we as a Life Group positioned for multiplication, or do we need to shift our approach?
Revival requires an infrastructure of leaders who disciple leaders.
5. Prayer & Action Steps Prayer Commitments:
Pre-Service Prayer: 30 mins before weekend services (Holland Room).
Upper Room: Tuesdays, 7:30-8:30am (Meeting Room 6).
"To desire revival and neglect prayer is to wish one way and walk another." – A.W. Tozer
- Will you commit to attending at least one of these prayer meetings this month?
- Who will you intentionally disciple or mentor this season?
Closing Prayer:
Pray for hunger for revival in our personal lives and church.
Ask God to prepare us for multiplication – both personally and corporately.
Invite the Holy Spirit to stir new leadership capacity within the group.
Revival is not a random event—it’s the result of prepared hearts, persistent prayer, and multiplying disciples.
