We need a sweeping revival where people confess their sins and get right with God, where folks turn out in bigger crowds at the church house than they do at the ball game, and where the old-time religion still gets top priority! Shelton Smith
Evan Roberts, one of the key people during the Welsh Revival of 1904-1905, once asked his best friend, Sydney Evans, “Do you believe that God can give us 100,000 now?" Evan Roberts had a vision for souls that stretched beyond one church building.
Church Revivals are good. They are meetings, which take place usually for a week. Many times it has a guest preacher or Evangelist come in order to lead the meetings. People’s hearts are moved closer to Christ, and many make a first time decision for salvation. These are good and healthy for a church.
What we need in this world is much more. We need a movement of God that affects the hearts of millions. Some modern day revivals have affected thousands of people, but I believe God wants to move so mightily that millions go to their knees before Him. Millions of lives changed across the United States, Europe, Africa and the World.
I am asking you to believe and pray with me for God to give us 100 million souls; 100 million people falling on their faces in repentance. People turning from lives filled with selfish worldly ways and living for Christ alone.
I also challenge you to:
1. Confess all known sin
2. Deal with and get rid of anything ‘doubtful’ in your life
3. Be ready to obey the Holy Spirit instantly
4. Confess Christ publicly
If you agree to pray for revival and follow the four points above, I ask you to write a comment in this blog declaring your commitment to prayer for revival, and to follow Christ with your whole heart, mind and soul.
The four points of challenge are taken from the Welsh Revival.

I do believe God for 100 million souls. Not just that He is able to save them, but that He will bring a revival of 100 million.
ReplyDeleteCommitting to prayer for revival is not difficult, but praying to die to self and be completely obedient to Christ, scares me. I don't want to die to my own will.
Jesus deserves my life and so I declare I am His and all that I am is His to command. Blessed be His name.
Those four challenges are really good. I too commit to pray for revival both personal and world wide. Oh, that 100 million would love and follow Jesus completely.
