Good morning.
The first thing I want to do is bring you the loving and warm greetings of all the saints in Zwolle. As Kenny said, there is really a deep bond of love and unity in the Spirit. We have known one another a long time, and we have always been so grateful—so grateful—over the last forty years, as your ministry went out over the world and touched our hearts and changed our lives.
So know that we are very, very thankful for the church in Richmond. And I feel really—you may know it—I feel really like Didi before the assembly of giants. Didi is a Dutch dwarf, very little.
So I decided this morning not to impress you with any word. I just want to share some lessons we have learned in the Lord in Holland. I just want to share our heart and burden with you, and maybe that is all I want to do.
For those who are praying for us, we are so thankful. We are so thankful for your prayers. And know that you are part of God’s revival in Holland. Please know that we do not think we have anything. We are so dependent on your prayers, and we are so thankful for that.
We are so far from touching anything which the Lord is doing. He is doing a sovereign work in Holland. But I will give you two examples of what the Lord did last week—just last week.
Last week, a young man with a criminal background turned to the Lord. Lately, in the last month, we have seen people coming to the Lord one by one, from different backgrounds. The Lord is moving. The Lord is working in reality.
The other example is very simple. Last Sunday afternoon, after the preaching, there was a young boy in our midst, sixteen years old. He was on his smartphone, and it took him a little too long. Afterwards, the Lord convicted him so much that he had spoiled his time on the smartphone that he was crying, and would rather die and be with the Lord than continue in this way.
God was convicting. God was moving, even among young people of sixteen. That is what we are seeing God do. It is not our doing. We have such a feeling that it is completely outside of us. It is a sovereign work and a sovereign touch of the Lord, but it is so encouraging to see what the Lord can do in reality in lives.
My sharing this morning is very simple. My burden, and our burden for Holland and for Europe, is a continuous revival—a continuous revival.
What we saw in the seventies and the eighties was revival in Holland. Then the lamp went out. The lamp went out, and what remained was the golden candlestick as a decoration.
Brothers and sisters, this is our burden: that we do not become a decoration, with all our knowledge, all our conferences, and our best books on the bookshelf. There must be a continual revival in the reality of the Word.
If the world needs one thing, brothers and sisters—if Europe needs one thing, if Holland needs one thing—it is a return to the reality of God. People must touch the reality of what we know.
This was the beginning of the work in Holland. Perhaps later this morning, if time allows, I will share what the beginning was. We had lived in the past. God was, for us, a God who worked yesterday. But where was God’s reality today? That was our burden when all the work started.
The Lord taught us something, and later I want to share with you how the Lord started, what our burden was, and what our lessons were—how this lamp will keep burning. But before I share, brothers and sisters, I always want to have the bigger picture. After I share the bigger picture, we will draw a line and begin again with the message.
Paul, in Ephesians 3:14, is coming up from his knees with a burden. He is on his knees, and he rises up with a burden. It is our burden. If there is one burden I have for Christianity today in Europe, it is this burden Paul had.
I hope, brothers and sisters, that all I share this morning is just a part of this big burden that I have, and that we have in Zwolle.
It says in Ephesians 3:19 that the church—and you and I personally—will be filled with all the fullness of God. Brother, sister, is this reality? This is God in reality: that we are so full of God that the fullness of God is not only filling us, but running over. Are we in the fullness of God?
Paul says there are two things we should understand before we can be filled, before we can experience this reality. Are you hungry and longing for reality, brothers and sisters?
There are two things we have to experience before we can be full and come back to this reality of God. Ephesians 3 says we have to understand together. This word understand in Greek also means to experience. So it is understanding, and we have to enter into an experience of two things.
The first thing we have to enter into and experience again is the greatness of Christ. My great burden is that most of Christianity in Europe is not impressed by the greatness of the Christ we have.
He is so great, brothers. We see Him working. He is able to do and change any life, any problem, any substance, any marriage—anything. We see a God who is moving in reality. He is so great, brothers and sisters. It is the greatness of Christ we need again: a glimpse of what He is, and of what we have been brought into.
The second thing is that we need a new understanding and a new experience of the love of Christ. Have you ever read here that there is a contradiction about the love of Christ? Paul says you have to understand, and then he says the love of Christ is beyond understanding. It goes far above.
The love of Christ is like an ocean, brothers and sisters. The greatness of Christ is like an ocean. We have to get lost in that ocean of the greatness of Christ and the love of Christ. Are you lost? Have you lost yourself in God?
That is our burden: that we get ourselves lost again in God, in Christ, as in an ocean. We jump into the ocean and get lost in Him. Do you know what happens then? When we get lost in God, God pours Himself out into us. But He waits until we are lost in Him.
That is our great, great problem. We give a little. We give so much, but He wants all. If we jump into all that Christ is and get a glimpse of the love of Christ, oh, brothers and sisters, we see lives changed in Holland because people see a glimpse of the love of Christ.
If we jump in, I can tell you: you will be filled with a new love and a new reality of God.
So this is the big burden: a new reality of God; seeing the greatness of Christ; losing ourselves in Christ and His greatness; and receiving a new touch of the love of Christ.
Oh, brothers, His love for us was so radical. He never doubted about giving His life for you. Do you know that? He was so radical in His love for you that He gave all for you. Why do you doubt about God? He did not doubt about you. He gave all.
He did not say, “Oh, I know Gerard—or Jerry, or whatever you call it. I know this guy. Should I give Myself or not?” He gave Himself. He gave all. His love is radical. What God wants from us is an answer in radical love for Him.
Okay, this was just the introduction. I have—well, as long as you want? No, no, no. Do not say that. It is a quarter past eleven, huh? Okay.
I want to share with you just a part of this burden, and some lessons we have learned in Holland. I want to turn with you to Leviticus 24.
Brothers and sisters, there is a tendency to look up to the leading brothers, also in Zwolle, but we are all involved. There is need for every member of the body to be involved in continual revival. Nobody can say, “Okay, that is not me.” We all are needed.
My main burden is this: are we willing to pay the price? Continuous revival is not without a price. It is costly.
God is looking down, as we will see this morning, for those whose hearts are hungry for Him. Are you hungry for God? Are you thirsty for Him? He is looking for those people who say, “Okay, I will lose myself in You,” so that He can give revival.
Leviticus 24:1-4 is a portion of the Old Testament concerning the golden candlestick, which was there and had one function. It was not there for decoration. It was there to give light.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
This portion of Scripture says that it is a command. It says in verse 3 that it is an everlasting statute. Do you see that? We touch here the heart of God, brothers and sisters. It is an everlasting statute.
There is something here in the everlasting heart of God which is so important to Him that He calls it an everlasting statute. It was not only meant for the tabernacle. It was something in God’s heart that He wanted to express in the burning candlestick.
There was something in the burden of God’s heart: “There is something in this golden candlestick which I want to be reality forever.” This is the reality we need to have in the church.
What was the reality God was seeking here? It was a lamp which was burning continually. Three times it says, “continually.” It may never die out, brothers and sisters. God is seeking a continually burning lamp—a continual revival among His people.
You may ask yourself, “Is this possible in 2018?” Brothers and sisters, we have seen it with our own eyes. It is possible. But how? How can this lamp keep continually burning?
It says here very clearly what is necessary. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.” What was necessary?
There were people who had to bring the oil for the lamp. Brothers and sisters, this is what God is seeking: lives from whom He can draw the oil to keep His testimony burning.
Do you want to be spent for His testimony? Do you want to be that man or that woman who brings the oil to the Lord so that the lamp can burn continually? That is the question we ask ourselves over and over again in Holland: “Lord, is the oil coming forth from my life?”
It is so easy, brothers and sisters, to have a certain attitude toward the church, toward other brothers and sisters, or toward what has been preached. There is sometimes criticism. But the question is not the church, the other brothers and sisters, or the leading brothers. The question is: does the oil come from your life?
Are you contributing to the lamp of God which is burning continually? That is the question. That is the only way God can keep the lamp burning: by the oil which is brought by the people of God.
Does it say here that there were some people who brought in the oil? No. All the people of Israel were involved in bringing the oil. Mostly, brothers and sisters, what we see around us is that a few people are bringing, while the others are looking and looking.
Whatever your calling is, whatever your thing is that you are doing in the church, that is not your first calling. Do you know that? Your first calling is not your ministry. Your first calling is to bring in oil for the lamp.
That is what we tell the brothers and sisters in Holland. When God begins to work, it is so easy to say, “Oh, this is my work. This is my ministry. This is my thing.” But the only real thing God is looking for in everybody here is whether you bring in oil for His testimony.
You are so familiar with the Bible, I know. I am so sorry; this is so simple this morning. But Zechariah 4—you almost know Zechariah by heart, I think.
In Zechariah 4 there is this vision given to Zechariah concerning the oil coming to the lamp. Zechariah asks, “What does this mean?” The Lord does not answer him straight away. He answers in two steps.
The first step is that He shows him two things from verse 6 onwards: that the work of the Lord is done by the Spirit of God, and that it has nothing to do with you and me. The Spirit—the oil—must come forth to build the church.
Secondly, we see Zerubbabel. How do you pronounce that? Zerubbabel? I am sorry; that is a difficult one. Zerubbabel. You see a man. These two things work together, and that brings forth the oil.
It says in verse 10 that when the seven see this happening, He is glad—He is happy. In the same verse it says that the seven are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
So I believe these seven are the seven eyes of the Lord which go over the whole earth. When He sees the Spirit coming forth—the oil coming forth—from a man, a brother, or a sister like Zerubbabel, who says, “Yes, here I am. I am going to build this testimony,” there the Lord’s heart is satisfied.
Brothers and sisters, the lamp must burn continually, but the Lord’s eyes are continually running all over the world, looking for men and women who can give this flow of oil to the lamp.
When He finds one, when He finds two, when He finds a brother or sister whose first focus is not “my ministry,” but giving himself completely so that there may be oil for the lamp, there God’s heart is truly satisfied.
I will repeat this because it is the sobering lesson we learned in Holland: God is not after me for a big thing for myself. God is after me for the oil—for His lamp.
When He finds me in that position, and I say, “Yes, Lord, I want to be that life which pours out oil for Your lamp,” there God’s heart is satisfied. Do you want God’s heart to be satisfied over your life? Do not think in big things. Just go to the Lord and say, “Lord, let me be such a man.”
The second answer of the Lord comes when Zechariah asks again in verse 11. I will not go into all the details, but in Zechariah 4:14 it says:
These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
I know there are many explanations—even Christ and the church. This morning, I say I do not know. But one thing I believe: it speaks here about Zerubbabel and Joshua, especially about people who can stand before the face of the Lord and be sons of oil.
Oh, brothers and sisters, I think there is no more precious name the Lord can give you than a son or daughter of oil. Then you have reached the heart of God.
Are you really standing before the Lord? Are you really a son or daughter of oil? That is the only real question that matters for your life.
When we come to that day—the day when we meet our Lord Jesus Christ and see Him face to face—I once thought He would be impressed by what I did for Him. I would tell Him how many people I reached and how many times I preached in Richmond. That is something. That is a plus.
I think it will not do anything. The only thing that will give Him glory and bring satisfaction to His heart is if I have poured out my life for the lamp.
There is a booklet by Lance Lambert, given to me by Bill, titled What Is God Doing? Lessons from Church History. It is quite sobering. I do not know if you have ever read it.
Lance shows that after twenty years from the start of a testimony, the lamp is already beginning to dim; and after forty years, you can forget the testimony altogether. It has become a decoration. That is church history.
I looked at church history and said, “Okay, I believe this is church history, so it must be right.” But in the last few years, I have come to know that I was wrong. I was wrong.
It is not necessary that the testimony of the Lord has this inescapable pattern of going up, going down, going up, going down.
In 2004, we had a celebration of the revival in Wales. Do you know what we celebrated? That we had a revival one hundred years ago. They sang, and they were happy about a revival which was one hundred years ago. What a tragedy, huh? It moved me to tears. What a tragedy: we look at a God who was working yesterday.
This was the beginning of the work. We began to realize that we lived on a God of yesterday. Oh, what great things God did for Hudson Taylor, George Müller, Watchman Nee—great men of God. We read all their books. Great. That was our God yesterday. No reality today.
Do you recognize that? It brought such a hunger into our hearts, because you know Hebrews 13:8. What does it say?
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever.
He was the God of Hudson Taylor, George Müller, Watchman Nee, and others. But that was yesterday. No, it was not George Müller. It was not Hudson Taylor. It was not Watchman Nee. It was the God of George Müller, the God of Hudson Taylor, the God of Watchman Nee. That same God is today the same.
But how can He express the reality of being the same God today that He was yesterday? He needs you today, brothers. The problem is not God. The problem is not that we had revival one hundred years ago, then nothing for twenty years, then a little revival, and then nothing again. The problem is that God cannot find the right people.
God wants to pour Himself out again and again and again, as long as He finds the right vessels. In 2 Kings, it says of the widow that when there were no more vessels, the stream of oil stopped.
How many times, brothers and sisters, God is a God who wants to pour Himself out. We have seen it. God has such a desire to pour Himself completely out, if we are willing to pour ourselves out for God and jump into this ocean of the greatness and love of Christ.
Do you believe He can be a reality again today? Do you believe He can move America again today? Yes or no? Yes. But He needs you. We need you. We must no longer be satisfied to live on a God of yesterday.
One of the Psalms which brought us to our knees and tears was Psalm 44. It says:
O God, we have heard with our ears,
Our fathers have told us,
What work Thou didst in their days,
In the days of old.
Thou didst drive out the nations with Thy hand, and plantedst them;
Thou didst afflict the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,
Neither did their own arm save them;
But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance,
Because Thou wast favorable unto them.
They sat at the feet of their fathers, heard all these great stories, and rejoiced over them. But it was yesterday. God had delight in those people; that is why He did those great things. He could use them. They were a people who touched His heart.
But we were so dissatisfied with living on a God who was only real yesterday. Do you know what our greatest problem is—what we discovered in Holland? We have so much knowledge.
I do not agree with everything this person says, but with this I agree. He said, “I would not give one dollar for a Christianity which says one thing and lives another thing.” No reality.
Our big burden for Europeans is this: we can pray, and we do pray. Oh yes, we do pray. We look up to God and say, “Oh God, we want this continual revival. Oh God, send Your Spirit.” That is necessary.
But we have discovered that God is looking down on us. Sometimes in prayer we tell God that we are waiting on Him. God is waiting on us. God is waiting on us.
Brother, sister, do you realize that God is waiting on you in order to give revival? If there is no revival, do not go to God and complain. Come to His feet and say, “Lord, what is missing in my life?”
God is the same God as yesterday. God is the God of revivals. God is the God who wants to pour Himself out. If He cannot, we have said to the Lord, “Oh Lord, it is us. It is us.” We have prayed and wept until God broke us and did a new thing.
What is the challenge before us? Leonard Ravenhill—oh yes, he is one of my favorites, a great man—said, “Do you know why we do not have revival? Because we can do without it.”
We are not hungry. We are not thirsty. We are not willing to pay the price.
A few years ago, there was a great revival in southern Africa. We had contact with one of the men whom God was using mightily. Every time there was a campaign, hundreds of people came to the Lord. It was amazing what God was doing there.
He visited our church, and I was so curious: “Why is God not working here as in Africa? What is the difference?” I will never forget his answer. He sat on my couch, and I said, “Brother, what is it? What is the secret?”
This African brother said to me, “You know, you do not have enough hunger for God. In Africa, they hunger after God. They thirst after God. They chase after God.”
We can do without it. Brothers and sisters, in the first place God is seeking dissatisfied people who say, “God, I will not let You go until You give revival.” Secondly, He seeks people who want to pay the price.
This oil which was given to the lamp had three characteristics. First, it had to be pure. It was pure oil. Secondly, it was beaten, pressed oil. Thirdly, they had to bring it over and over again. In Zechariah, we read of the sons of fresh oil. It must be pure, it must be beaten, and it must be fresh.
In the remaining time, I want to share three lessons we have learned concerning how this oil can keep flowing once it is flowing—once we have given our lives completely to the Lord and become lost in God.
There are three secrets—there are many more, but I want to share just three:
God is looking for these kinds of people from whom the oil can flow: people of painful transparency and honesty, people who give priority to prayer, and people with a perpetual burning fire on the altar.
The first thing we learned, brothers and sisters, is to come into honesty with God and with one another, and to keep that above everything.
There is a revival team here in America which went to six thousand different churches over a period of forty years to give revival messages. In almost every church, the problem for revival was bitterness, an unforgiving heart, or things between brothers and sisters which were not right.
God will never give revival, brothers and sisters, if you are not completely transparent and open before the Lord. How much the children of God and the church are missing because God cannot pour out His fullness, because we have some grumble in our hearts toward one another and are not willing to confess it.
Sometimes it is so painful to go to another brother or sister and say, “Sorry. You know, I had this thought about you. Sorry, I misjudged you. Sorry, you said something to me, and I kept it in my heart like a grumble.” That is painful. But God is a God of honesty.
If we do not want to be humbled under His hand toward one another, we can say in our houses and our prayer rooms, “Oh God, forgive me.” But to go to your brother and sister and keep relationships clean—that is the first painful necessity for ongoing revival.
Let us read Ephesians 4 in this light.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
How do we grieve the Spirit, brothers and sisters? This verse is often taken out of context, and we have all kinds of explanations. But if we read it in context, it is very simple. The Spirit of revival is grieved by bitterness.
Is there anybody who has bitterness in his heart? Brother and sister, be honest. Is there any bitterness in your heart? Is there any unforgiveness in your heart?
Are you a person willing to forgive and forgive and forgive, even when it is the hundredth time? Forgive again.
Brother and sister, when you come to the Lord the hundredth time with the same sin, what does God say to you? “It is enough, isn’t it? That is the hundredth time. That is enough.” No. I believe He says, “I do not know about the other ninety-nine. This is the first time I know.” Is that the way we live with one another?
Oh, brothers and sisters, I can tell you, it is painful. We are so quick-tempered, are we not? We are so proud in our flesh. “Well, this brother is blessed. Why not me? This sister is getting something. Why not me?” Are we honest with one another?
Colossians 3 says:
Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Have you ever asked yourself what those last words, “be thankful,” mean in this context? I have asked myself that. It means that you may be thankful to be part of a body. Why? Because in the body you learn forgiveness, forbearance, and all these things. God is going to teach you through your brothers and sisters. So be thankful for them.
I try to be thankful when my brothers and sisters step on my toes, because that means I am still alive on that issue. I am alive.
Real honesty begins, perhaps, with being thankful for one another. Luke 8:15 says that the good seed came up and bore much fruit because it had an honest heart.
Do you want the Lord to produce fruit in your life? Have an honest heart toward God. Be honest with God in your inner room, brother and sister. Go on your knees and be honest with Him about every victory that is missing in your life, every defeat in your life, everything which is not right and which you know in your heart.
Be honest with God. Without this, there is no revival—and surely no continuous revival. The reward of being honest with God and with one another is revival.
The second point we have learned is the emphasis on prayer. In the last few years, we have learned afresh what it is to pray and to give priority to prayer.
This is a question we often ask one another in Holland: “How is it with your prayer life?” Brother and sister here in Richmond, may I ask you: how much time do you spend in prayer, personally in your inner room?
Have you ever considered this beautiful verse in Matthew 6? It says, “Go into your inner room and pray.” Have you ever wondered why it does not say, “God will hear you”? What does it say? God will see you and reward you.
He sees, because His eyes are all over the world looking for those who are on their knees. Those are the men and women God is seeking. That is why He says, “If you are in your room and you pray, I will see, and will reward you.” The reward is far greater than the price of prayer.
Is prayer your priority? Is it number one in your life? Or is your work, your ministry, or whatever you name your priority? What is the priority in your life?
In Holland, we have colored our lives orange. I will explain what I mean by that. It is in Luke 5:15-16:
But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
Wow, what an opportunity! Great crowds came to Him to hear Him, not merely to be healed by Him. What a need. What a ministry. What a moment. If He had entered into that moment, He could have made His ministry a success. What was greater than this moment?
But the next word in verse 16 is but. We call this word but orange, because this one word gives the priority of the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. The need was there, the crowds were there, and it says, “But.”
But what? “But He withdrew Himself in the deserts, and prayed.” That was His priority. Whatever the need, whatever the pressure—even the pressure of need and ministry—that was not His priority. His priority was prayer: to be separated in fellowship with the Father.
Brothers and sisters, we have learned at heart that everything comes forth out of prayer. Prayer makes a difference. We have seen situations completely out of our control in the church, but prayer made a difference. God Himself began to speak, act, and change things.
As leading brothers, we used to go very quickly to a brother or sister when something was wrong. I am not saying anything about you; I am only sharing what we did. We have learned that ninety-five percent of all problems are dealt with by God Himself if we are on our knees. The second advantage is that we learn so much more of God Himself.
Brother and sister, is your life colored orange? Is prayer your priority, even above the greatest need? Only then is God going to move. Only then is there revival.
God does not mix into your ministry or your work for Him. God is a sovereign God. He wants to act alone in response to our prayers.
I am very impressed by Paul. We are studying Philippians, and then Colossians and Ephesians. Most of these letters were written by Paul on his knees. He says, “I am praying,” and from prayer comes forth what Paul speaks. Paul spoke from his knees. He did not speak from his mind; he spoke from his knees.
If you asked Bakht Singh what the secret was of the great revival in India, do you know what he did? He showed his knees. Oh, those were knees that were marked by praying. Praying knees.
Brother and sisters, we should turn back to the very simple truth of being a praying people. Perhaps here we have to pay the highest price.
May I ask you: are you a faithful attendant at the prayer meetings of the church? If not, then prayer does not have priority in your life. Are you willing to pay the price to join your brothers and sisters in prayer, to stand together, and to give yourself to God in prayer?
Mark 6:46 says:
And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
Again, such a wonderful situation in which He could have been great. The multitudes were so happy about Him. He could have spent some time with the disciples, but having dismissed them, He departed into the mountain to pray.
Sometimes we must dismiss things which are good. It was not wrong to stay a little longer with the disciples. Maybe they could have had a campfire, eaten together, and had fellowship. But sometimes we have to dismiss things from our lives which are not bad in themselves, in order to make time for more prayer.
This is the greatest problem in our lives: we do not want to dismiss things which are not bad in themselves to make time for more prayer. We have learned that the only thing God moves in revival through is prayer. There is no other way.
What does God say of Paul in his first lesson in Christian life? “Behold, he prayeth.” I think Paul never forgot that.
Brothers and sisters, the second thing we have learned is that the shallowness and easiness of our prayer life had to be changed if we were really to become sons and daughters of oil. Are you willing?
I have a little more time, but I am not going into the third point, to save time. I believe, brothers and sisters, there is a necessity of pouring out our lives in complete dedication to the Lord again and again.
Oh, brothers and sisters, there is a great burning desire in the heart of God to have His testimony. Maybe, may I say it this way, there is an even greater burning desire in God’s heart to keep His testimony alive.
God is a God who, in every place where He can find sons and daughters of fresh oil, will pour Himself out. We are not special in Holland. On every place where He can find sons and daughters of fresh oil, He will pour Himself out.
But we need fresh oil. We need prayer. We need pure oil. We need brokenness and honesty. Oh, how the Lord has crushed us in brokenness, and still we are under process. We are not as far as you think we are, but we are in process. The Lord is doing a painful work.
Are we willing? Are we willing to give our lives to Christ for revival?
I believe, brothers and sisters, if there is one or two today who say, “I jump into the greatness of Christ. I jump into this ocean of love with Christ. I give my life. I will lose myself in Christ,” God will take you. God will deal with you, and God will give you revival.
He has done it in so many countries and in so many ways. He is the same yesterday. Today, is He? Is He?
Shall we make God reality again? That is what America needs. That is what Europe needs. If He only can find us.
Amen.
