Awakening the Remnant - Real Revival vs Fake Revival – How to Discern the Spirit of Truth from Deception

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

shalom family. I’m your brother Pierre Lidji, and you’re listening to The Remnant Awakens. Man, I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve been following along, you know we don’t shy away from the hard stuff. We dig deep, we question, we expose, and we try to walk in truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. So, today, we’re talking about something that’s everywhere right now—revival. But not just any revival. We’re gonna talk about real revival versus fake revival, and how to actually discern the Spirit of Truth from deception. So, buckle up, get your notes, or just lean in, ‘cause this one’s gonna challenge you.

So, let’s start with the basics. What is “revival,” really? I mean, you hear that word thrown around everywhere—on social media, in churches, even in the news sometimes. But what does it actually mean? Is it just a bunch of people getting hyped up, or is it something deeper? Revival, at its core, is about coming back to life. It’s a return. Not just to some emotional state, but to Yahuah Himself. It’s like, you know when you’ve been drifting, and suddenly you realize, “Man, I need to get back to the Source”? That’s revival. It’s not about the show, it’s about the heart. It’s about repentance, turning away from the junk, and running back to the Father. That’s what real revival is supposed to be.

But let’s be real—there’s a lot of fake revival out there. I mean, I’ve seen it. Maybe you have too. You walk into a place, and it’s loud—like, super loud. The music’s bumping, people are shouting, maybe even falling out, but… nobody’s actually repenting. There’s this emotional high, but when you look at the fruit, nothing’s changed. People are speaking in tongues, but there’s no truth, no order. Folks are laying hands, but nobody’s actually obeying the commandments. And yeah, sometimes you see healings or signs, but there’s no fear of Yahuah. It’s like, all the fireworks, but no real fire. I’m not saying Yahuah can’t move in powerful ways—He absolutely can. But if there’s no repentance, no obedience, no transformation, then what are we even doing? It’s just hype.

Real revival looks different, family. It’s not about the noise, it’s about the heart. Joel chapter 2 verse 12 to 13 says, “Return to Me with all your heart… with fasting, weeping, and mourning.” That’s not glamorous, right? That’s not the stuff you see on Instagram and tiktok. Real revival is messy. It’s people on their faces, crying out, “Abba, forgive me. I’ve messed up. I want to come home.” It’s fasting, it’s weeping, it’s mourning over sin. It’s not just a feel-good moment—it’s a deep, painful, beautiful return to Yahuah. And when that happens, you see real change. You see people walking in humility, in love, in obedience. That’s the kind of revival we need.

But here’s the thing—Scripture warns us about deception, especially in the last days. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9 to 11 talks about the coming of the lawless one, with all kinds of deception, because people didn’t receive the love of the truth. That’s heavy. It means you can see miracles, signs, wonders—even in the so-called “church”—and still be deceived if you don’t love the truth. And I mean, we talked about this before, right? Like in the episode about the courts and the counterfeit priesthood—just because something looks spiritual doesn’t mean it’s from Yahuah. The enemy can mimic a lot of things, but he can’t produce real fruit. So, if you’re chasing after experiences but not after truth, you’re setting yourself up to be deceived. That’s just real talk.

So, how do you know if it’s real? How do you discern a true, Ruach-led revival from a fake one? Galatians chapter 5 verse 22 to 23 gives us the answer—the fruit of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. If you see those things growing, that’s a good sign the Ruach is moving. But if all you see is hype, division, pride, or confusion, that’s not the Ruach. I mean, I’ve been in places where people are shouting and prophesying, but then they go out and gossip or treat people like trash. That’s not the fruit. The real test is the fruit, not the fireworks. And sometimes, the Ruach moves quietly, in the background, changing hearts one at a time. Don’t miss that just because it’s not flashy.

The remnant’s call is different, y’all. We don’t chase hype—we chase holiness. We don’t follow crowds—we follow the cloud, just like our ancestors in the wilderness. We don’t dance in fake fire—we walk in the purifying fire of Yah’s truth. That’s what sets us apart. It’s not about being seen, it’s about being set apart. Sometimes that means you’re alone, or misunderstood, or even rejected. But that’s okay. The remnant isn’t called to fit in. We’re called to be faithful, to walk in obedience, to love truth more than comfort. And honestly, that’s harder, but it’s worth it. ‘Cause at the end of the day, it’s not about the crowd—it’s about the cloud. It’s about following Yah, even if nobody else does.

Pierre Alexandre Nissi Lidji

So, here’s the truth, family—the world is hungry for revival. People are desperate for something real, something that actually changes lives. But not all fire is from above. Some fire is strange fire, like Nadab and Abihu brought in the Torah. You gotta test the spirits. Don’t just run after every new thing. Ask, “Is this leading me closer to Yahuah? Is it producing real fruit? Is it rooted in truth?” If not, let it go. Don’t settle for counterfeit when the real thing is available. Yah is looking for people who want Him, not just His gifts. That’s the kind of revival that lasts.
