The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Great Awakening

I, too, have been praying for revival and have wondered if God, in His infinite mercy, might take the circumstances in the world today (for He Himself has ordained the circumstances and the times in which we live) and through it, bring about another Great Awakening. There is nothing any man can do to bring about revival. God, Himself, sends revival and He uses the preaching of men He has gifted as the means, but not the cause of revival. Anything that we might "do" to bring about revival would merely be revivalism, and not a true move of God.<br><br>I agree with you, too, that God can and may indeed raise up men of His own choosing to minister with the strength of the Puritans to this generation.<br><br>
