Thursday, November 12, 2020 The Seeds of Revival "Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven's Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved" (Psalm 80:19 nlt). The last great American revival was the Jesus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We called it a Jesus Movement back then. And we called ourselves Jesus People. Time magazine, however, dubbed this moment in time the "Jesus Revolution." The word revolution means an upheaval, a dramatic change. It looked like America was going downhill fast, and it was. So God sent a revolution, and it changed the nation. Our nation needs another Jesus Revolution right now. In fact, the United States of America was born during a spiritual awakening. George Whitefield, a preacher from England, proclaimed the gospel in the colonies, and thousands of people came to faith in Christ. The obvious result was moral change in the culture because whenever people come to Christ, it changes the way they live. This became the soil that was so receptive to the seeds of liberty. In fact, I don't think we could have had the United States of America without the incredible soil that the evangelist George Whitefield tilled. Our nation started with an awakening, and we need another one. |
