I’ve lived through, joined in with over 40 years of praying for Revival. Now as I approach my 75th birthday I wonder why, in the U.K, not much has happened since the Hebrides Revival in the 1949! Perhaps mention should be made of the little known Newark Revival of 1948-9 and God’s chosen instruments Henri & Connie Staples, who had a vision for a general Revival and refused to found a church. Stories have been told, books written and videos made. Many people have soaked these up but nothing much has changed. Many Churches are shrinking while some new works gather the enthusiasts who move around seeking but never finding a special anointing. Revival has been reduced to occasional lively meetings where extravagant prophesies are made based on these old stories. No-one has taken those prophesies and reorganised their program in expectation / anticipation of a positive fulfilling of them! Among the prophecies have been visions that the Lord will raise up fresh ministers of the gospel
I am relieved to report to you the good news that my leg is not healed so the future of the pandemic is not as I foresaw yesterday. I can’t tell you how relieved I am that that thought was a delusion a product of living alone. I spent time yesterday praying for this outcome. Now I ask you to redouble your efforts to pray for the healing of my leg. I made a number of bad decisions, it turns out there is a bus to get to the clinic and my leg really does need to be dressed. I think I actually need a companion nearby who could help me make decisions and live right. So also please pray that our Father finds me a companion soon. Amen.
