Dear Friend of Mike Livengood Ministries,

SO WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW ZEALAND???

We spent six weeks ministering in New Zealand. Nine people asked Jesus to come into their lives at a church in Porirua! The pastor had strongly emphasized bringing the unsaved to the meeting. They did so. At least seven were baptized in the Holy Spirit at a workshop at the Raging Fire Conference.

The pastor at the Lower Hutt Hope Centre asked us to give him five Sundays. During those Sundays we ministered at all four of their campuses. Our primary focus was helping develop a revival culture in the satellite campuses so I told a lot of revival stories, shared principles, and the tangible Presence of the Lord came. Additionally we spoke twice to their Lower Hutt staff meeting and spent time with the senior pastor of the church doing a “deeper dive” into that subject.

The tangible Presence of the Lord also came at the Kapiti Women’s Aglow. The pastor at the Hope Centre in Levin specifically asked me to “lay hands” on the entire church. So we did! In addition to the public meetings I spoke eight times for the Karakia broadcast and was a guest on Vision Television.

AM I GETTING OLD?

We returned to the States in time to attend the graduation of our oldest grandson from high school. In just over two weeks we will attend the graduation of our oldest granddaughter from university.

HEALTH UPDATE

I am recovered from the hernia surgery. I am still being careful with the amount of weight I am lifting. Linda does not want me to volunteer to catch people who are falling out under the power. LOL. The heart seems to be doing fine!

Falling down, crying, laughing, shaking, etc. are all referred to in the Bible. The accounts of God moving in unusual ways are historical. Michael describes the things that sometimes happen when there is a physical response to God's touch.

THE GLORY FACTOR

THE GLORY FACTOR $15.00

The Glory Factor will move you! "The Glory Factor increases our knowledge of the anointing, the presence of God, and His glory, giving us hope, and warning signs of those things that hinder what God wants to do." -Don Gifford, Superintendent, Indiana District Assemblies of God.

"Michael reveals to us...the thrilling importance of pursuing The Glory Factor." -Seth Fawcet, Senior Pastor, Hope Centre, Lower Hutt, New Zealand

"One of the most...relevant, powerful words from God for the body of Christ today." -Keith E. Taylor, Senior Pastor, Cross Tabernacle Church,

Terre Haute, Indiana
"It brought me to tears saying 'Yes, Lord, more of you.'" -Jeri Hill (widow of Steve Hill, evangelist at the Brownsville Revival), Pres., Together in the Harvest Ministries "As I read, I continually cried out for more of God in my own life." -Phil Schneider, Superintendent, Illinois District Council Assemblies of God

"My favorite part of the book was Ten Things Successful Revival Leaders Do Well." -Joe Joe Dawson, Director, Burn Texarkana House of Prayer/Revival Center

"If you desire more than a weekly church service, a good sermon, and a meek and mild Jesus, then you need to get this book. You will find out there is more!" -Randall Burton, Pastor, Northview Church, Columbus, IN, author of River Rising

THE WOW FACTOR

THE WOW FACTOR $15

"Revival is a Journey rather than An Event.” –Michael Livengood

Whether shooting the white-water rapids of the river of revival or reflecting in the calmer pools which occur after the rapids, Michael gives essentials necessary for understanding a God sent revival. --Carey Robertson, former Senior Associate Pastor the Brownsville Revival, Brownsville Assembly of God, Pensacola, Florida

“I would encourage every pastor to use this book to teach their congregation about revival! In fact, the third key to revival presented in this book will be preached by every pastor who reads this book.

--Phil Schneider, Illinois District Assemblies of God, District Superintendent

Nor does Michael shrink from discussing the things that have derailed revivals…

Adding to the absorbing interest of the stories he tells is his ability to probe beyond the what to the why to focus on God’s purpose in bringing revival to hungry hearts. --Ian Clark MA, Former Principal, Assemblies of God Bible College, New Zealand

Michael enlists the help of five Pastors whose churches have been experiencing ongoing Revival for not just one or two months. No, as a matter of fact, their Churches have been in “Continuous Revival” from six to twenty years!...

It is a Holy Ghost manuscript that prepares the Body of Christ (His Church) to be the recipients of a Holy Ghost Revival that is to be a Perpetual Revival till Christ comes to take his children home. --Prophet Fred Aguilar

Particularly helpful is a stress on God’s sovereignty in sending forth the full tide of the Spirit’s outpouring; balanced with our human responsibility to expectantly prepare by “hungering and thirsting” for Him in overflowing Presence…

Michael’s wide experience amply illustrates the delights, difficulties, and dangers of “An Outpouring.” --Roy N. McKenzie D. Min., Presbyterian minister, Gore, Southland, New Zealand. Co-author of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, (A survey history, with some basic principles of revival), 1999, 2016; and Choose the Lord, Here and Now! (19th century evangelism in New Zealand), 2016.

THE GOSPEL FACTOR

THE GOSPEL FACTOR $15

"I have known Michael for more than 30 years and in that time, having ministered alongside of Michael in Revival here in the US and Abroad, I have heard many of Michael’s sermons, stories and have read several of his books, yet I have never been more stirred than by this book, The Gospel Factor! I wish a book such as this would have been available when I first started out in Ministry as a Pastor and especially as an Evangelist!

In this book, Michael picks up where our Bible training in Hermeneutics, Homiletics, and Pedagogics left off as He delves into teaching the Importance of Revival Preaching. Michael is a Revivalist whose focus is on bringing in the Harvest. Concerning his approach to preaching, he states in chapter two, “From start to finish I am going after the harvest. I start the Altar call when I start preaching.

There is so much to glean from this book that to describe it all, would require me to write a book! In this book he speaks on the need of balance in our Worship and Preaching; Repentance Preaching followed up by Discipleship Preaching and the emphasis that must be in Revival Preaching with the main emphasis being SSP: Salvation, Sanctification and Presence along with keeping the “Main Thing, The Main Thing!” As he states, “Jesus is the Message, the Evangelist is the Messenger!”

There is in depth teaching on the four types of people at revivals and how preaching to those who have never heard the Gospel is very different than preaching to those who have the Bible memorized!

Bottom line! This book is a manual, and it is a must have for every Pastor, Teacher and especially every Evangelist aka Revivalist of which we all should be! There is so much more I can say about this book however the highlight of this book are the last ten chapters which are ten sermons that Michael has preached all over the World. What is so special about these sermons is that in each one you see the application of what he has just finished teaching in the previous chapters!"

- Fredrick Aguilar Fire On The Altar Ministries Zion, Illinois

"I want you to read this book. Seriously if you are one of those that genuine GOD chasers you need to read it. If you are not a God chaser who hungers desperately for another move of God that can transform a nation you also need to read this book. Michael is a friend, a very close one, and a co - worker in the Kingdom of God. He is the real deal. He is speaking out of a place of authority. A place of having walked the talk and has firsthand experience of what he is sharing. In this his finest work in the”Factor” series that clearly lays out the keys that will position God’s people to be able to catch the unforced rhythms of God’s Grace.

Well done my friend, my brother in arms. He who has an ear let him hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying. Love and Blessings" -Graham Renouf.

"Prophet, Pastor ,Husband, Father, Grand Father, and Friend: Michael, I have just finished reading your draft and I must say it is without a doubt, classic Michael Livengood. Your heart and clearly very anointed passion to weave practical mechanics with a strong emphasis on keeping the Word of God a bedrock steadfast foundation with pen point direction and balanced with life stories and illustrations under the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit is a total package that this book brings to the table. Your heart comes forth as one reads through each chapter, they set a very clear path to help the reader understand and be challenged to better their way to communicate the greatest story to be told. Thank you for sharing with us examples and illustrations that have been tested and refined in your ministry, many will be blessed, encouraged for your gift to the five-fold and the body of Christ. This book is about Kingdom and I must say at Heavens Gates souls will enter because yet another vein of the ministry God has given you. God Bless my friend."

Keith Taylor Senior Pastor Cross Tabernacle, Terre Haute, IN, member of the Executive leadership of the Indiana Assemblies of God, and is recognized as an apostolic leader by others.

"Just finished your book. Great job brother... this is a great addition to the other “Factor books.” The front end loaded with clearly understood insights and steps. The second part of the book providing a great selection of your sermons, which not only illustrate what you previously recommended, they also speak as stand alone messages. I can see preachers and evangelists from around the nations adding it to their library being underlined, highlighted and referenced."

Tony Collis, Pastor at Hope Centre, Levin, NZ. Former director of OAC a ministry raising up and training evangelists in New Zealand.

"Michael Livengood is a powerful and valued representative of the New Testament church. His book, The Gospel Factor - The Preaching of Revival, is a Master Class textbook on the art and science of preaching!

The church needs this book as we must return to strong Biblical preaching with an emphasis on the altar. Michael’s teaching on the importance of and difference in preaching between an Evangelist/Revivalist and a Pastor is something that every Pastor should read and understand."

- Phil Schneider, Superintendent of the Illinois Assemblies of God.

"In his latest book, Evangelist Michael Livengood explores the importance of preaching. Having been a hearer and a recipient of many well-timed sermons preached by Michael I highly value his insight into this all-important aspect of ministry and of revival. In this book, he does not disappoint. The Gospel Factor is filled with spiritual and practical insights that will encourage and strengthen each reader, whether or not the reader ever has the opportunity to preach the gospel in a formal manner. I encourage everyone to add this book to their library for both personal enrichment and as a ministry resource". -

Rodney Burton, Evangelist (Rodney Burton Ministries)

"The Gospel Factor is not hyperbole or platitudes. This book is a practical guide on how to evangelize the world through solid biblical preaching. The Gospel Factor should be a part of the curriculum of every serious student of revival. It is chalked full of powerful stories and antidotes for the reader. Bravo to The Gospel Factor!"

- Randall Burton, Pastor, Northview Church, Columbus, IN

"A preacher’s handbook, but not only that .... an instructional, inspirational, revelationary, practical, experiential and anointed masterpiece which comes out of Michael Livengood’s heart of integrity, no ‘smoke and mirrors’, but real and raw truth he and Linda have experienced.

The Gospel Factor - The Preaching of Revival gives clear understanding of the both/and of revival preaching and evangelism and tips as to how this can be a reality in revival. It clearly delineates the difference between ‘revivals’ and God sent revival; revival and evangelism.

Within these pages is expository evidence of power preaching for and in Revival, gleaned from 25+ years of experiencing this God phenonomen.
