The Coming Revival
My Experience
As the word of God asked the Prophet
Ezekiel can these dry bones live (Ezekiel chapter 37) God gave life to the dead
and so in true revival born again Christians get back on fire for God by
returning to their love Jesus.
The word revives simply means bring
back to life or recovers as demonstrated in the preceding paragraph hence the
word revival.
It’s been more than 22 years since I've been reading about revivals and watched, what people have called a revival. In
2006-7 The Holy spirit started to minister to me about revival while I was attending
a series of meetings. The Spirit of The Lord came in, as Duncan Campbell would
say “God stepped down” it was so glorious to see, heaven invade earth. I
thought this is the start of another Welsh revival but it only lasted about 2-3
hours.
The following year I visited America
and spent some time visiting what I would call a dead church, maybe it would be
better to say the people seemed complacent!
While the pastor was one of the most
helpful and joyful people I know, a true Shepard of his flock, something was
missing! Somehow a stirring started and
I noticed before I left that every individual that was a member of the church
got on fire for God asking what they could do to help in the church.
Two particular examples of attendance,
a lady was driving past and said God told her to “go into the church” and
another who use to attend the church but not in the last 6 months claimed God
woke her up this morning said “to go back to church today”.
Although this was on a small scale it
gave me insight into what the difference between revival and a visitation are!
What happened in USA in 1859, Wales 1904, Scotland 1949 etc, wasn't just a
visitation but it was a ‘habitation’ God allowed The Holy Spirit to be tangibly
felt, which draws people to know God by letting us know we are sinful and thus
bring repentance which in turn gives us a clean heart before God. This is why with no human instrument God will
draw people unto him in certain areas or towns etc.
One more point I would like to add the
bible states in 1 Peter 4:17 judgement must begin in the house of God. Spirit
filled Christians must play a part do what your called to do, God chooses the
vessel to start revival it’s not everyone its Gods man or woman Charles Finney,
Duncan Campbell, John Wesley had their praying teams even Evan Roberts prayed
for 13 years before revival started but each had a burden to see a nation changed
like George Verwer, my advice would be not to be jealous of people who God has
his anointing on for revival but pray God uses them to bless and change all
nations of the world.
We are on the edge of the greatest
revival the world has ever known. In 1904 approximately 100,000 people over a
12 week period, joined the churches of Wales, I heard it said it would be
equivalent to 30 million people in the USA joining the church.
My
prayer today is Lord Jesus “allow your chosen vessels to awake” we need to feel
a fresh move from the throne room.
