Hinderers of Revival (1 of 2)
Series: Revival

Jonah 1
We are thinking about Hindrances to Revival today. I'd rather change that to HINDERERS of Revival. Don't flip off the broadcast! We need revival in these days! How we do need REVIVAL! We are living in days of lawlessness. We are living in days of abounding sin. We are living in days of pressure of demonism. The people of God are experiencing un- precedented pressures in this hour.

The Lord sent out a great wind into the sea and there was a mighty tempest, and the ship was like to be broken, and the mariners were afraid. It must have been a great storm for these men, hardened and knowing the Mediterranean Sea, to be afraid. This was a MIGHTY tempest, so that the ship was like to ...
