The River of God
Overview
In The River of God, internationally known conference speaker and author Dutch Sheets describes what a person—and church—must do to prepare for revival. Sheets once again balances biblical teaching 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, rather than hinder, the flow of God’s river? How do we avoid 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 its relevance for us today.

Top Highlights
“Christianity is more than just a better way to live, or a more accurate teaching about God. True Christianity means a relationship with God; it is to become the temple of the Holy Spirit. He does abide in all who have been born again by His Spirit, but is He manifested through us? This is what we seek, to have the sweet aroma of the knowledge of God manifested through us in every place (see 2 Cor. 2:14).” (Page 20)
“True rivers of revival will never flow until we cast off human methods, rise above human abilities and allow the Spirit of God to plan the strategies and define the results.” (Page 93)
“Human-centered repentance makes humankind and its pain or loss the measuring point; true repentance is God-centered.” (Page 106)
“True spiritual vision can only come from being able to see with God’s eyes. Even so” (Page 16)
“But the story of the Bible isn’t God and activity or God and His experiences. The Bible is not about God and things, and it’s certainly not about God and religion. The story of the Bible is God and people. The story of the Cross is God reunited with people. He is all about experiencing relationship. And any spiritual experience that does not in some way draw us closer to Him has either been wasted or wasn’t from God at all.” (Pages 30–31)
The River of God is one of the most important books about revival I have yet seen.

Revival—a word that has stirred curiosity, controversy, excitement, and anticipation in God’s people in this hour. With clarity, depth, and passion, Dutch Sheets once again unfolds balanced scriptural truths that will bring understanding to this vital move of God’s Spirit.

I am encouraged by The River of God. Dutch Sheets is not just a visionary, but one who is also committed to doing the work. His books contain more than vision; they are also practical.
