So, maybe you can't make it to Asbury University in Kentucky much as you would like to. But you are hungry for revival, or you at least want to be hungry for revival.
In the great revival in Wales in 1904-05, nearly 200,000 people were saved in a nation with a population of about 2 million people at the time. This occurred in about 18 months' time. A young man by the name of Evan Roberts, who had been touched by the revival in the north of Wales, returned to his home in the south of Wales to labor for revival there. He was allowed to preach to 17 young people/young adults, and this was his 4-point message:
(1) Confess any known sin to God and put away any wrong done to others;
(2) Put away any doubtful habit;
(3) Obey the Holy Spirit promptly; and
(4) Confess Christ openly.
If you can't make it to Kentucky (and by all means, go if you can), why don't you start where you are? Do these 4 things sincerely and with diligence. God will meet you there at the point of obedience. This revival will not be about God blessing us in our sins and disobedience. This revival will be about repentance and obedience.
Unite our hearts to fear Your Name, O Lord.
