Revival or Regret (6 of 13)
by Bailey Smith
King David was no ordinary spiritual man. He was a man who accomplished grand things politically, financially, and materially. Even though Solomon received credit for the Temple, the Temple really belonged to David. It was his idea, and it was he who started what we now know as Solomon's Temple. He was a man of unbelievable accomplishment, a man of unusual intellect, a man who throughout his life could point to the constant intervention of God. Many of us could stand and testify, "When I chose that particular school, God was in that choice; when I married that woman, God was in that choice...
Revival or Ruin (2 of 20)
by Stan Coffey
Tonight my subject is revival or ruin. Revival or ruin. There are two things that we find tonight as we look at the first chapter of the book of Romans particularly in the last half of this chapter. Number one we find man's ruin and number two we find God's remedy for revival. We find the only hope in our way of life in America as we know it. The only hope for the spiritual recovery of this nation is found in Romans Chapter 1. You know the book of Romans has been considered by the greatest of Christians to be the most important book in the Bible. The first commentators said that every great movement of revival in the history of the...
Revival in a Bone Yard (8 of 12)
by Jerry Vines
I suppose that Ezekiel 37, the vision of the valley of the dry bones, is the most familiar chapter in all of the book of Ezekiel. It was the setting for a very familiar Black spiritual. "Them bones going to walk around." Because of the knowledge of that song and because this passage of Scripture has been dealt with on so many occasions, it is very, very familiar. It is found in the concluding section of the book of Ezekiel which gives to us Judah's future. God is trying to say to his people-there is a future. The Bible is a book of judgment. We read much judgment in the Bible. But the Bible is also a book of hope. If it was only judgment there...
Real Revival (8 of 11)
by Jeff Schreve
In the late 1800s, there was a boxer who came on the scene in America. His name was Norman Selby. But he didn't really like that name. He didn't sound tough enough. So he changed his name. When he would fight, he came up with a better name. He called himself Charles ''the kid'' McCoy. And Charles ''the kid'' McCoy was a really good boxer. He was welter-weight champ and this other weight champ and that other weight champ. He tried to be heavy-weight champ, but he wasn't very big. He only weighed 160 lbs. Not a big guy, but he packed quite a punch. He was voted by Ring Magazine as one of the 100 greatest...
Revival at the Water Gate (1 of 5)
by J. Gerald Harris
On the first Sunday of October we distributed these little booklets which includes a plan for personal revival. The emphasis in our church for this quarter -- the months of October, November and December -- is spiritual renewal, or revival. And I would like to read to you a portion of the second paragraph in this booklet. ''What do you mean by revival?'' you may ask. A fair question. It does not mean a highly emotional hysteria where people work themselves into a frenzy and do senseless things which bring discredit to the Lord's name. Revival is a time when Christians are restored to their first love for Christ, when sham...
What Really Happens When Revival Comes
by David Cawston
At this very moment there are more believers living here in the United States than in any time in history. Hundreds of churches boast membership in the thousands and dozens of ministries claim to be touching the world. -Gospel television and radio shows are aired twenty four hours a day. -Christian literature pours off the presses at an unprecedented pace. -Believers are neck deep in praise tapes and teaching materials. But something is terribly wrong. -Our society is crumbling all around us. -The fear of God has all but disappeared. Something horrible has taken place. The church...
A Wagon Train Revival
by Ken Trivette
1. I read the story of an English boy from Liverpool. One day he went for a swim. He stripped off his clothes and ran into the water. It was not long before he found himself being carried by the tide out into the sea. He struggled long and hard, but was not able to swim against the ebbing tide. At last he was picked up by a boat bound for Dublin. The sailors were good to him and gave him clothes to wear. That evening a man was walking along the shore and found the boys clothes lying on the beach. Inside the lad's coat he found his name on a piece of paper by which he discovered who the clothes belonged to. The man...
Heart Cry for Revival
by Miles Seaborn
Spiritual Check List for Personal Revival Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, this spiritual checklist can be a tremendous help in revival preparation. It leads Christians to identify and confess sins, which often hinder genuine revival. A leader merely reads the scriptures and slowly asks the questions pausing between each question. This spiritual checklist may be used with a sermon just prior to revival. It may also be used at a pre- revival pray retreat or during the Sunday School hour with adults and youth on the first Sunday of the revival. As one honestly answers the questions in this check list, he or she will agree...
Hinderers of Revival (1 of 2)
by Jesse Hendley
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. We need the revival blessings of the Lord poured in our hearts so that our lives might count for God. We are left behind in this world for one reason, and that is to bless the lives of others in the Name of the Lord. So we are thinking...
Revival in the City
by Steve Jones
A description of the Welsh Revival of 1904 reads "The bars were not the only places to be emptied. Dance halls, theaters, and football matches all saw a dramatic decline in attendance. The courts and jails were deserted and the police found themselves without any work to do. The story is told of policemen who closed their station and formed a choir to sing at the Revival meetings. Long-standing debts were repaid, church and family feuds were healed and a new unity of purpose was felt across denominational divides." Something similar happened in the city of Ephesus on Paul's 3rd missionary journey as...
The Signs of Revival
by Ernest Easley
Now with our Bibles opened to Nehemiah, we are picking up where we left off last time together in the revival chapter: chapter 8. In the first seven chapters we saw the challenge of repair. As Nehemiah evaluated the walls around Jerusalem, he saw the result of neglect. We read in 2.17, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach (disgrace). You've got to love the response of the people of God in verse 18, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work." They...
Preparing for Revival
by David Cawston
1. Elisha had a Heart after God! There was a secret searching after God He was not shocked when Elijah came by! He know immediately what Elijah wanted ''So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. 20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. ''Let me kiss my father and mother good-by,'' he said, ''and then I will come with you.'' ''Go back,'' Elijah replied. ''What have I done to you?'' First step in preparation for revival is to have a heart after God 2. Elisha was...
Spiritual Revival
by Duane Bemis
I am asked about Spiritual Revivals all the time, but the short answer to true revival comes from my own life's story. According to Charles H. Surgeon revival means, ''To live again, to receive again life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished.1'' In my own life I had been a Christian for about 10 years, I found myself at a place where a church of 700 members turned on me because of a false witness. No one came to me to ask any of their personal questions, they so wanted to believe the lie. On top of this, the Lord would not allow me to defend myself I had...
The Battle For Revival
by Jesse Hendley
I want to thank you friends for your prayers for the radio work and for our revival meetings out-of-town. Revival meetings are a great battle! They are a conflict! I was reading the other day, while coming home on the plane, the words of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Our blessed Saviour said that the world would hate us and would not receive the Gospel. He said, “I testify of the world that its works are evil.” Wherever you see cities that are deep in evil, you find a great battle going on. So I want to thank you for your prayers. Our revival meetings are a real battle from the very start. How we thank the Lord for the victory He gives...
The Conditions for Revival
by J. Gerald Harris
In Mark, chapter 9, we see a picture of some powerless disciples. A man had brought his afflicted son to the disciples requesting help. And the implication of the Scripture is that the disciples did everything in their power to help this man's son. I have an idea that they prayed over him; they blessed him; they touched him; they attempted physical therapy, and perhaps emotional therapy. They ministered to him and agonized over him, but absolutely nothing happened. When Jesus came on the scene there was an immediate healing. After this miracle, the disciples cornered Jesus, and they asked Him, "Why couldn't we...
A Plea for Revival
by Rex Yancey
Along a Kentucky highway was parked a big 18 wheeler. The driver was standing by the tractor from which a front wheel had been removed. A pastor stopped to see if he needed assistance. The trucker thanked him and said that he had already sent for help. He had burned out a wheel bearing and his...
A Boneyard Revival
by Jerry Watts
This is the 2nd year that I have been privileged to be with you. Last year, I did what the Alfords have done in this service, led in worship. I am honored at the invitation to return. As long as I remember, in the church, we have set aside weeks or days which we called, ''REVIVAL.'' Think about that word. What does it mean to you? To most people it means a 'meeting.' It used to be 2-weeks (or so), then 5 days, then we went to weekends, and today we have ONE-DAY meetings. I have not come to lodge my complaint about 'why have we shortened these events' because there is not one of us in this room who needs another...
Preparation for Revival
by Ron Cox
Habakkuk is praying for God' intervention during the chastisement of His people. Sounds a lot like what we need in our nation today. Habakkuk 3:2 - O LORD, I have heard your speech and was afraid; O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.!" There are two kinds of revival in the Bible: 1. Personal: Where we cry out to God to revive us personally. 2. Corporate: A revival of the supernatural work of God in our midst today. When God's people are no longer experiencing the abundant life and joy of God, it's time to prepare for revival. To revive...
Recipe for Revival (1 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
Well this morning if you have your Bible I want you to turn to II Chronicles 7:14, a verse that many of you know by heart. I want to start a new series of messages today and I want to speak today on ''Recipe for Revival''. That verse says ''If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. Then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'' Now most Bible scholars would say that II Chronicles 7:14, although the word revival is not used, is the defining scripture about what the requirements of revival involve. The world revival...
The River of Revival (7 of 7)
by Stan Coffey
If you have your Bible turn to John chapter 7. Well I've enjoyed this series on revival. Amen? I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I've enjoyed preaching it. We come to the last message in this series, but I trust only the beginning of the revival that God is going to do in our church. Amen? I'm going to quote again II Chronicles 7:14 ''But if my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways.'' We've preached on all of that. Now, today I'm going to preach on this - ''Then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.'' What revival...
