The LORD has been showing me some history of Revivals.

More exactly, He has been showing me history leading up to Revival — what folk back then were doing before Revival happened.

He took me to the Hebrides, where I saw Peggy and Christine Smith sobbing and crying out to The LORD for a move of God to water their dry land.

I saw other folk from the Hebrides prostrate before God, repenting their own sin, and crying out to God for mercy!

I saw Evan Roberts, Seth Joshua, and many others all calling people to repentance and crying out to The LORD for mercy and for revival.

I saw William Seymour and many of the old revivalists in open air meetings, urging the people to repentance and to prayer for that breakthrough in the Spirit that came a short while later.

I saw Dwight Moody, William Booth and others out in the streets preaching, praying, and preparing the way for the ‘successes’ that followed.

I saw Wesley, Whitfield, and Edwards walking mile after mile to preach in a new town, then calling repentance and awakening to their world.

I saw blood, sweat, and tears before The LORD in ways of which our generation knows nor understands little or nothing!

I asked, knowing the answer in part, why I was seeing all these heroes of yesteryear.

The answer I got was this — “There are lessons to be learned from these precious few who walked this road before you.

They paid a price that few today are willing to pay.

They poured their life and their soul out before Me.

They were willing to give their very lives for those they sought to save.

These few gave Me everything. They spent hours grasping the horns of the altar pleading for mercy — for themselves and for those around them.

They went without sleep, without food, without places to rest — often for weeks at a time in order to bring My Love before the unsaved sinner.

I have not seen such dedication today.

I do not see many crying out for hours, often through the night, for Me to move by My Spirit once more in your time.

Tell My People – there must be repentance, there must be humility, and there must be greater unity among My People before I can fully manifest My Spirit in Revival.

Learn from your predecessors, those who trod this path before you.

If you do not, then Revival will be slow in coming.

It will manifest in other parts of the world before you.

It will come — but your lack of commitment — your lack of willingness to pay the price — your lack of true repentance will delay everything.

The Prince of Persia still defies My Angels, even as he did in Daniel’s day.”

Pay the price, win the crown of revival!

Church — to your knees!
