Vision Statement
To awaken and restore the sons and daughters of God through prophetic truth, healing, revival, and the manifested Glory of God. After more than 45 years in Kingdom ministry, Rabbi Felix and Bonnie Halpern carry a clarion call to prepare the Bride for the return of the Lord and to advance a Habakkuk 2:14 activation—spreading the knowledge of His Glory, the Kevod, throughout the earth. “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” — Habakkuk 2:14
Purpose of Freedom
Revive exists to reveal Gods voice through prophetic teaching, equip believers for end-time readiness as the Bride of Christ, and restore souls, spirits, and bodies through powerful deliverance and healing. By cultivating intimacy through glory encounters with the Holy Spirit, reconnecting believers with the Jewish roots of their faith, reaching nations through evangelism infused with power and love, and guiding prophetic journeys to Israel, we align hearts with God’s covenant land and prophetic timetable, igniting revival and transformation in this critical hour.
What We Believe
At the very heart of our faith is the unshakable conviction that every person—Jew or Gentile—stands in need of redemption, and that salvation is found only through the saving work of Yeshua Jesus the Messiah. Heritage, religious tradition, ethnicity, good works, moral achievement, or spiritual experience cannot reconcile humanity to God. We are reconciled to the Father solely through the atoning sacrifice of Messiah and the blood He shed for us. Scripture declares, “There is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22–23).
The need is universal, and so is God’s invitation. Paul writes, “There is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all” (Romans 10:12). There are not two ways of salvation—one for the Jewish people and another for the nations. There is one Messiah, one sacrifice, one covenantal means of reconciliation, and one saving blood. Yeshua Himself declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).
The apostles proclaimed the same truth: “There is salvation in no one else” (Acts 4:12). Therefore, our love and honor for Israel and the Jewish people must never diminish the necessity of the Gospel. Rather, genuine biblical love compels us to proclaim that the Messiah of Israel has come and that His death and resurrection provide forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life to all who believe.
The blood of Yeshua is the great equalizer at the foot of the cross. Jew and Gentile come to God on the same basis: not through human merit, but through grace; not through ancestry, but through faith; not through religious accomplishment, but through the blood of the Lamb. “But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah” (Ephesians 2:13). Through Him, both Jew and Gentile are reconciled to God and brought into one redeemed people (Ephesians 2:14–18). This must remain central to everything we preach, teach, and practice: salvation is not ultimately found in a movement, denomination, heritage, prophetic experience, manifestation, or spiritual gift. Salvation is found in a Person—Yeshua Jesus—and rests entirely upon His death, His shed blood, His resurrection, and His victory over sin and death.
As Paul wrote, the Gospel is “the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16). Our message, therefore, is both deeply rooted in Israel and gloriously extended to the nations: one Gospel, one Savior, one redeeming blood, and one invitation to eternal life through Messiah.
-
We hold that the Torah reveals God's righteousness and describes the lifestyle of the redeemed community. (Matthew 5:17–19 and 1 Timothy 3:16–17).
-
Our faith rests on the whole Bible, encompassing both the Tanach (Old Testament) and the New Testament, as the solely inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
-
We believe that gentiles who trust in Yeshua (Jesus) as Lord are spiritually grafted into Israel, forming the spiritual citizenship of Israel. This doesn't confer ethnic Jewish identity but grants equal participation in its blessings. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 11:11–24).
-
Salvation, according to our belief, is solely through Yeshua (Jesus) and His sacrifice, as articulated in the book of Hebrews. (Hebrews 10:1-18).
-
We endorse the practice of laying hands on the sick for prayer and recovery. (Mark 16:17-18).
-
We affirm the secondary work of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, based on Acts 2:4, Mark 16:17, Acts 10:44-48, and Acts 19:6.
-
We confess faith in one God, as revealed in Scripture: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" (Deuteronomy 6:4).
-
We acknowledge Yeshua as the Son of God, the Messiah, the Eternal One in whom all the fullness of deity resides in bodily form. (John 1:1–14 and Colossians 2:9). Our belief holds that the Spirit of God comforts, teaches, leads, indwells, and empowers all those regenerated by God (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:7).
-
We affirm that all individuals have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23).
Values We Uphold
We uphold the sanctity and God-given dignity of every individual, recognizing that every person is created in the image of God, regardless of color, race, background, or creed. No human life is without value, and no person stands outside the reach of God’s love and redemptive purpose.
Yet true spiritual unity is found not merely in our common humanity, but through the redeeming blood of Jesus. In Him, barriers are broken, hostility is overcome, and we are reconciled to God and to one another. Through His blood, we are brought into one family, one body, and one spiritual unity in the Father. “For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.” — Ephesians 2:14
Love is our supreme weapon, transcending every other gift, achievement, and demonstration of power. Everything else is fleeting and transitory, but love carries the very nature of God and endures forever. We may possess great faith, move mountains, witness extraordinary miracles, speak with prophetic power, and experience mighty manifestations of the Spirit—but without love, we become nothing more than a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
Love is not weakness. Love is Kingdom power. It disarms hatred, breaks down walls, heals wounds, forgives the unforgivable, and reveals the heart of God to a broken world. Miracles may cause people to marvel, but love causes them to encounter Him. In the end, what will remain is not how powerfully we spoke, how greatly we were used, or how many mountains moved—but whether everything we did flowed from love. “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13
We revere the sanctity of the Bride of Messiah, the church, composed of hearts of flesh, purchased by Jesus' sacrifice. Our values prioritize fostering respect, honor, sacrifice, kindness, forgiveness, and seeking the best for one another. The foundation of our life is rooted in the Word of God, serving as our guide, charter, and instruction manual.
We advocate for a life fully yielded to the Holy Spirit—guided by His presence, empowered by His gifts, and marked by the fruit of His character. The gifts of the Spirit equip us to serve, minister, heal, encourage, discern, and build up others, while the fruit of the Spirit reveals the transforming work of God within us.
Our desire is not simply to experience the Holy Spirit, but to live under His direction so that our lives become instruments of transformation in the world. As we walk in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, while faithfully exercising the gifts He has given, we become living witnesses of the Kingdom of God.
We hold prophecy and the prophetic ministry in high regard as genuine works of the Holy Spirit, given to strengthen, encourage, comfort, and edify the Body of Messiah.
“But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.” — 1 Corinthians 14:3
At the same time, we believe that every prophetic word must be approached with humility and discernment, carefully tested against the authority of Scripture and, where appropriate, confirmed through prayer, godly wisdom, and the passage of time. “Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21
We neither despise prophecy nor accept every prophetic declaration without examination. Scripture instructs the believing community to weigh and discern what is spoken.
“Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said.” — 1 Corinthians 14:29 . We are also instructed to test spiritual manifestations rather than automatically accepting every claim as coming from God. “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” — 1 John 4:1
Therefore, prophetic ministry must always remain submitted to the Word of God, the character of Messiah, and the accountability of the believing community. True prophecy will never contradict Scripture, exalt the messenger above Messiah, or replace the believer’s responsibility to seek, discern, and obey God. “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, there is no light in them.” — Isaiah 8:20
Prophecy is a precious gift of the Holy Spirit, but Scripture remains our final standard. We welcome the prophetic, test what is spoken, hold fast to what is good, and seek above all that Yeshua be glorified.
