Revival Fire Healing Ministry
Leadership : Jim and Sarah Chamberlin

Based out of Hamilton New Zealand, Jim and Sarah have a heart cry to see the body of Christ be raised up to be all that she is called to be.

Originally sheep and beef farmers from the King Country, God called their family to Bible College, and then as Christian workers in China working among Tibetan Nomads.

In December 2007 the Lord called them back to New Zealand and gave them a new vision of coming and going into different places and nations releasing the anointing and power of God. They hunger to see revival come in fullness in this nation and the nations of the world.

Missions is very much a part of who they are. They believe that as people of God we are all called to 'go into all the world with the gospel', as in Matt 28:18-20.

Equipping the body, missionaries, churches, pastors and leaders to move in the power of God is a call on their lives. They have ministered not only in New Zealand and China, but also in Fiji, Tonga, Myanmar, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Kenya and Portugal.

They currently pastor Glory Release Church, held on Sundays open to people from all denominations.

More information on these gatherings can be found on the church page.

“Jim and Sarah are passionate lovers of Christ who desire to see the glory of God touch and transform people's lives. They minister with compassion and Holy Spirit power and always leave people in a wake of love. They have been involved in Christian ministry for many years including missions and church leadership. They also minister regularly in various churches through out New Zealand. I personally love and endorse them both for whatever ministry opportunity is presented to them.”

Rev. Diane Yule - Te Awamutu Presbyterian Church, Te Awamutu, New Zealand.

"The words of the Lord’s prayer, the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples, are particularly relevant to Jim and Sarah’s ministry as they truly seek to be conduits of God’s Kingdom here on earth. Indeed, their passion is for God to use them in ministry and mission in order to extend God’s Kingdom & His saving grace & love wherever they are as they pray: ‘Father, your will be done, your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.’….They are willing to be used anywhere, with anyone! All people are important to them! Indeed, it is a true delight to see their love for everyone, regardless; and so their willingness to be available to touch people’s lives one on one or ministering in a small group or to larger gatherings. Nothing is too small or too big for them as they trust in God’s leading….”

spiritual oversight

As a ministry we are blessed to have an oversight of 7 board members (incl. Jim & Sarah) from all different churches that Jim & Sarah have relationship with, and whom have been Christians in leadership for many years. These are people with experience and insight, and understand the call of God on Jim and Sarah's lives, and the call of the ministry, which provides a place of accountability and safety.

If you wish to speak to one of these with any of your concerns, once speaking to Jim & Sarah regarding your issue (Matt 18), please contact the office for details.

"I am ruined for the ordinary"

“I am ruined for the ordinary” A statement that can possibly be to some, come from a place of judgement, or it can be from a place of there is more in the Kingdom of God that I am yet to experience or understand, revelation that I have tasted of something that actually shows me that I have not tasted of anything yet. A place where there is such a contentment and joy in what I have seen and longed to see and yet a revelation that there is way more "beyond what I think, ask and imagine" (Eph 3:20) and one that spurs me on to seek and discover all the fullness that could be ours in the Kingdom of God. When we as Christians see other Christians going places or experiencing things that we don’t understand or perhaps we have not yet moved in, we can either become jealous of that person and judge and bring them down to our level, exclude them from our lives or we can choose to be excited by what is happening and be encouraged and spurred on in the Lord for the more than ca...

Obedience and Commitment are big things in Gods Kingdom

Reading in Acts 7 this morning the story through Stephen of Abraham being told by God to " Leave your country and your people and go the the land I will show you" So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living. He gave him no inheritance here, not even a foot of ground. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child." As I reflected on this and the journey of Abraham stepping out in faith into a land that he received no inheritance in but a promise of what was to come for his descendants of which we live in the fruit of that, I thought of todays generations in which often is only doing things that we want to do or that will benefit us personally as we live for 'today' not worrying about tomorrow. A sense of if it feels good then do it, if it doesn't then we will move on - perhap...

"A man's enemies will be the members of his own household" Matt 10:36

Recently we have been pondering how to deal with situations in our family that don't line up with the word. What action do we need to take? Are we being too harsh? Do we accept the behaviour or be considered by those around us as "too radical" or "too black and white"? "Where is grace in all of this? How do we love the sinner but hate the sin? What about forgiveness? What is the role of discipline? What makes that sin any worse than lying? What is true love? And there are a lot more questions going through the mind in how to work through this and know God's will and desire for the situation and the person. And firstly to say we have not come to any conclusions and are growing and learning day by day in this but I want to throw it out there. In Matt 10:34-39 says "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn "a man against his father, ...

Aphids and Slugs - Resisted or Received?

Morning. The last week or so I have had some very powerful pictures through my garden and life in which the Lord used to speak to me that I would like to share. The first picture: While caring for my roses, I notice that one particular rose is not doing well and I see aphids and disease on the plant and so I spray it again hoping that it will kill what is attacking them. A week later I see it has not been effective and so I am prompted to try another different form of disease killer, an oil rather than the pesticide, and the Lord speaks to me; "Sarah, what was used in the last season, won't work for this new season". We are in a different season, and the way we ministered or dealt with things in the past, won't work in this new season we are in. The reason being we (as a people) have become 'familiar' with the styles and ways of ministering and hence the 'enemy' is already aware of it and becomes 'resistant' to it. A bit like how...

6 legged sheep???

In the weekend I saw a vision of a sheep that had six legs. And what I believe the Lord is saying, there are many sheep, (followers of Christ), but they are trusting in their own strength and not in mine. When we trust in our own strength and abilities we forfeit the grace that can be ours, the enabling that comes from stepping out in faith in the impossible, the testimonies that give God the glory rather than the expectation of what should be because we have put our hand to something. God is the God of the impossible and in order for the miracles, the testimonies, we need to be a people that step out in what we can't do and allow God to come in and do the impossible. That may simply be asking the Lord to help you to forgive someone that has hurt you so much, to getting on a plane with no finances because the Lord has asked you to, to continue to stay in a job/church/marriage/relationship you don't want to because that is where God has placed you, to pra...

Year after year

I was led this morning to the book of 1 Samuel and the first thing that jumped out at me was the phrase "year after year". How many of us are like this. We have so much and yet we are still crying out to the Lord for things that have not happened or come to pass yet. And we look at others and see what they have and compare and it causes us to not see the love that is poured out to us. Hannah's husband would say to her "Hannah, why are you weeping? ... Why are you downhearted? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons? The Lord would say this morning. Am I not enough?. See my love poured out to you. See what I have given you. Come to me, find your peace and your joy in me, not in what you have or don't have, what is or isn't done yet, but in me alone. Those 'things' don't fulfil you but come to me and find rest for your soul. I will satisfy you and give you rest and peace for your soul. Psalm 62 Truly my soul finds r...
