The Seeds Of Revival Evan Roberts, while reflecting on the problems of The Welsh Revival of 1904, once wrote, The mistake was to become occupied with the effects of the revival and not to watch and pray in protecting the cause of the revival. The lasting success of the next move of God may very well depend upon our willingness to receive Mr. Roberts WARNING! There are many today who are foolishly pursuing the effects of revival at the expense of neglecting the conditions of revival. No harvest is ever any greater than the seeds and soil in which it was planted. To neglect the seeds of revival is to ultimately plague the fruit of revival. Our modern churches must take heed and learn that there are no shortcuts to lasting revival. Except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. (John 12:24) There will be no true and lasting revival until we die to our own stupid pride and selfish ambition. We must let God the Holy Spirit have control of His church again. We need to repent and let the knocking Bridegroom back into His house. In early 1905 Frank Bartleman wrote, I received from God the following keynote to revival: The depth of a revival will be determined exactly by the depth of the spirit of repentance... Again he writes, A body must be prepared, in repentance and humility for every outpouring of the Spirit. This is one of Gods great unchanging laws of true revival. It applies to all people and for all time. We cannot afford to ignore these clear warnings from our spiritual forefathers any longer. There will be no glorious, end time harvest until God finds a people who will embrace and nurture the fruitful seeds of revival; FATIH, HUMILITY, REPENTANCE and PRAYER.
