FOREWORD/ INTRODUCTION You've probably found your way to this eBook from my blog.

However you got here, I'm happy you're here. I wholeheartedly believe that what I share in these pages will make you laugh and cry and inspire you to look at your life in a fresh, divine perspective. Before we get started, let me tell you a few things about what you can expect and what motivated me. I wrote this guide because I had myself in mind. Before you think I'm selfish, let me explain. I got started trying to reach people with the Gospel when I was about 13 years old. I was an average popular kid in high school and a pretty good student, but what really defined me had always been my strong love for God. Since you're reading this you will probably agree with me that once we care about God, it doesn't take long until we begin to also care about what He cares about. That's exactly how I got started with this whole thing called "Revival". More than anything I wanted to reach people with God's love and see His kingdom expand on earth. The only problem was I had no clue what I was doing or how to get started. I went through it all. The heated arguments, uncomfortable and embarrassing situations, the feeling of pressure to have to go and talk to everyone I know about Jesus and the well known guilt if I hadn't spoken up. I even got beaten up a couple of times (Ill tell you more later). It's no secret that most believers feel their stomachs crunch at the sound of these ten frightening letters E-V-A-N-G-E-L-I-S-M. We have all experienced defeat at some point. The problem is that a large percentage of Christians leave it there. They allow their past negative experience to define their future expectation, which is one of the biggest mistakes one can make. My goal with this guide is to change that. You see today when I look back at the past 10 years of my life, I am overwhelmed with countless memories of divine encounters and glorious victories. I've had the privilege to see literally hundreds of people get radically saved. Amongst them drug dealers, gang members, pimps, witches, even principals, teachers, politicians and CEOs. God allowed me to share in the joy of destroying the works of the devil and establishing His kingdom in power and love in many countries and continents. By His power and grace I was able to equip thousands of believers across the world in a supernatural, spirit-led lifestyle of revival. And I'm only 24 years old as Im writing this. The good news is, if God can use me, He can (and wants to) use everyone!

On these pages I wrote exactly what I would've needed when I was starting out to avoid a whole bunch of frustration, burn outs and be able to immediately step into a lifestyle that shares Jesus with ease, fun and success. If youre a leader, be assured that what I share will also help you equip and activate those around you. As you're reading this eBook, I am confident you will feel God breathe a fresh spirit of boldness and victorious anticipation into you. If at any point while you're reading this guide you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can best reach me on Twitter (@Daniel_Vogler), or on my Facebook Page. Even if you don't have any questions, I'd love for you to come by and say hello! If you want to reach me in private you can email me at contact@revivallifestyle.com

CHAPTER I - WERE ALL CALLED TO A SUPERNATURAL REVIVAL LIFESTYLE I don't know about you, but I grew up in a church that taught evangelism was only for the ones who felt a "special calling" to reach the lost. Maybe they didn't phrase it exactly like that, but they certainly practiced it that way and as we all know what you practice usually speaks louder than what you preach. It didn't take long until I became seriously dissatisfied with the gap I was seeing between the powerful impact on society biblical Christianity was having on one side and the once-a-week Christian gathering, that didn't even seem to lastingly impact and change the lives of the ones in attendance on the other. I mean werent we all supposed to see even greater things than Jesus? Was tithing and service attendance really the only things we could learn from scripture? When I compared the life of Jesus with what I knew as normal Christianity I ended up with something like this:

healed all the sick had authority over every (amount of) demonic spirit(s) raised 11 world changers encountered God intimately every day

rarely prays for sick people is afraid of demonic realms

seeks a leader, but doesn't lead others

likes to hear stories about others experiencing God performed many outstanding miracles for believes God can perform miracles, but God's glory somehow won't spent most of his time with the sick, hurting and pretty messed up people spends most of his time with other believers

spoke in a way that cut right into people's rarely speak with passion or revelation hearts wasn't impressed by religious acts, but was interested in peoples hearts seeks to change people's behavior, not their hearts

If you're like me, you like to ask yourself tough questions like these: "Why am I not seeing the things Jesus promised in my life?" "Why is that person still sick?" "Why are my neighbors and pre-believing friends not impacted by my life and words?" "Would my city even notice if my church shut down tomorrow?" "Why are crime rates and unemployment increasing and church numbers decreasing?"

Well, first off: thanks for asking these great questions! The first time I began wondering about these marvelous things I was about 15 years old. Eventually I got to the point where I decided that if biblical Christianity wasn't possible today anymore, I could no longer be a Christian. I mean why should I only experience 10% of what Jesus promised? For me it was a question of all or nothing. 2 POSSIBLE ANSWERS: After a while I figured there only really are 2 possible answers to those questions and powerless Christianity in general: POSSIBLE ANSWER 1: Revival, Miracles & Healing have ceased when Jesus went back to heaven (God's the issue) POSSIBLE ANSWER 2: Revival, Miracles & Healing are available today, but fall into believer's authority and responsibility. In other words: we today are called and equipped to carry on Jesus' ministry, but forgot how to (were the issue) Since you're reading this guide you'll probably agree with me that answer #1 is completely unbiblical. If you're uncertain I recommend you to take a look at the article series I wrote on my blog about the history of Christian Revival. In it I outline every major supernatural move of God from 30 A.D. till today, giving proof that God's kingdom has never ceased to manifest in power. Alright so knowing that revival has been happening throughout the last 2,000 years we are still left with the question: why not today and in my nation or city? This is exactly where most charismatic believers are stuck (and where I was stuck). In our need to try to explain why revival is possible today, but still not happening around us we typically find this explanation: Only very few are "chosen" to carry out God's kingdom in powerful and supernatural ways... and those few must be on vacation right now. Can somebody dial 911? We need to cut out a big old lie here!

8 WAYS THE NEW TESTAMENT ESTABLISHES EVERY BELIEVER'S AUTHORITY: 1. Jesus sends us the same way He was sent John 20:21 Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you. 2. Jesus gives us authority Luke 10:19: Behold I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 3. Jesus promises us "greater things" John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 4. We have the same Holy Spirit Jesus was operating out of Rom 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. 5. The 5-fold ministrys purpose is to equip every believer for ministry Ephesians 4:11-12 And he gave some (to be) apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the saints for the work of ministry... 6. The gospel spread as believers spread Acts 8:1&4 At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles... Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 7. We are heirs of Christ Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs - heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ... 8. And partakers of His divine nature 2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature... If you want to learn more about your authority I highly recommend you to listen to Andrew Wommack's free audio series "the believer's authority. Alright, now that we're on the same page and agree that God is waiting for us to release His kingdom on earth and not the other way around, let's begin with what this guide really is about: The practical ways we can launch into a supernatural revival-lifestyle!

CHANGING WHAT WE DO: I certainly didn't have all the answers or claim to have them all today, but what I did always knew is this: If we keep on doing what we've always done, we'll keep on getting what we've always got. This ain't no rocket-science, right? Here are a few other ways to say it: To make a difference we need to act differently. To bring change we need to change what we bring By changing nothing, nothing changes. I think you got it by now.

THE BALANCE BETWEEN POSITIVE THINKING AND "HUNGER FOR MORE" Don't get me wrong, I'm all about positive thinking and focusing all the beautiful things God is already doing in our midst and we'll get into that in more depth later on when we talk about the power of our imagination and thought life. Right now I want you to understand what caused me to step out of the norm and explore a Christian Lifestyle that I didn't see anyone model around me. The first sign that God wants to do more than what you're seeing at the moment is a "holy dissatisfaction". In fact, I guarantee you that at the beginning of every move of God in the history of Christian revival and reformation there was a man or a woman with a burning desire to see a change. Many of them even willingly laid down their lives to see this desire for a new expression of God's kingdom on earth fulfilled. I could give you a whole list of them, but thats for another time. Author and Bible School Director Kris Vallotton (Youll find out I like to quote this guy) once put it this way: "vision gives pain purpose." In other words: great achievements will always require great sacrifice and no one sacrifices greatly, if they aren't seeing a worthwhile reward on the other side. THE FIRST TIME I STEPPED OUT: It was summer 2006 and it was my time to walk through that pain my vision was giving me purpose for. I was a completely normal teenager. I didn't feel powerful or "anointed". I actually was struggling with depressive thoughts and low self-esteem issues on daily basis.

Nevertheless the day arrived on which the above listed revelations hit me so strong that I knew: "Daniel, you either go downtown and experience what it looks like to be led by God, or you leave it and stop dreaming about greater things." Needless to say the latter wasn't an option for me anymore and I decided to take the train downtown without telling anyone. This was going to be Jesus and me and I didn't need anyone witnessing the embarrassing mess I was trying to prepare myself for inwardly. I still remember how nervous I was when I arrived on the large public square of my hometown's downtown. It was a sunny summer-day and thousands of people were streaming up and down the large pedestrian shopping mile. I worked my way through to the middle of the brought street and stood still. I didn't really know what to. The only thought in my head was about Jesus being led by Holy Spirit and only doing what He saw the Father do, so I prayed: "I am here and want to be used by you. Please lead me to whoever is in desperate need for you." Nothing. I was aimlessly looking around expecting some sort of supernatural sign to appear. Maybe an angel pointing on a person with his fiery sword. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Determined to see a breakthrough I kept standing in the heat of the sun, trying to scan every single person passing me and looking for some sort of heavenly sign. Thirty minutes into it I still hadn't made any progress. Then suddenly I noticed a teenage boy and girl sitting on a stairway about 80 yards away from me. I didn't know why but I couldn't seem to take my eyes off them. It was like they were "highlighted" to me. It dawned to me that maybe this was God speaking to me. I tried to think of a cool way to approach them, but the longer I thought about it, the more insecure I got. I simply couldn't think of anything "cool" to say and hit off a conversation with them. It was like every possible way to approach someone suddenly felt incredibly stupid to me and simply didn't work out at all in my imagination. After I had finally decided to just walk right at them and say "hi". Anything happening form there would be God's responsibility. A few moments later I stood right in front of those young people, they looked up at me and I said "hi whats up?". After a few sentences of smalltalk they asked me "so why are you talking to us?" and the only answer I had was "well this might sound crazy to you but I felt God sent me to tell you that He loves you and has a great plan for your life." I was shocked to see the two instantly being moved to tears. "Did I say something wrong?" A few moments of silence. Then the boy said "Well we've both been wanting to take our lives for weeks now. Today we felt like we had no reason left to live and said if God existed and cared about us he should send someone to tell us about Him." I was shocked. Actually it was more than shocked. I was in awe. The presence of God dropped so heavily that I began to fight tears.

I spent the next 3 hours with those precious young people, explaining the Gospel to them and leading them to Christ. I will never forget how instantly transformed they were as they got filled with supernatural joy and began to laugh like they hadn't in months. The 3 Things I Couldn't Get out of my mind after this encounter: On my way back home in the subway, I found myself on cloud 7. In all my years as believer, I had never felt so close to God and so filled with His joy. I couldn't even fall asleep that night until the early morning, because I was so overwhelmed by the revelation of God's goodness and couldn't stop thanking Him for using me to introduce those two new friends of mine to Jesus and His everlasting life. There were 3 thoughts I couldn't get out of my head for months to come: 1. Why had no one ever told me how powerful I am? 2. What was possible if I did this every day? 3. What was possible if a whole generation of believers tapped into a lifestyle in which encounters like this one become normal? The dreams and opportunities on revival seemed endless inside my head as I began to dream with God In the next chapter I want to share a few fundamental revelations about the topic of reality with you. There are a few things you absolutely have to know about the power of your perspective to be able to break free from whatever limitations the enemy tried to put on you. It's going to be extremely powerful and freeing so let's get right into it. You just read Chapter 1 of my upcoming eBook Revival Lifestyle Guide, which will be released spring 2013.
