God moves in mysterious ways.
That is fascinating , but I am more drawn to the desire and passion of the two elderly women - that’s what started the revival. That’s what is praise worthy.
There is just so much in between all of what happened then, and where it led now , would make an interesting topic to discuss.
I mean , Donald didn’t follow the right path, but does it mean that the prayers of His mother influenced where he ended up.
His business life, and personal life were not really good, BUT, does it give hope that Gods will will be done in the end within our lives- we end up where we are meant to be.
Or the many coincidences in life can always be found, and used to promote a truth that perhaps is not really there ..
I was always taught to go back to the beginning with anything, where it started......and that for me is the faith and desire of two elderly ladies who cared about their own little community- it had a rippling effect. That truly should give us hope, we all live in ‘ little ‘ communities ( well Little in the US is probably big to me !! Lol )
Thanks for sharing the video H2S xx
It’s intriguing, and I love those kinds of links from the past to the present.
My thought above are not to invoke a negative discussion, they were just things that came to mind as I reflected on what was relayed x

It doesn't matter what kind of moral life he lived before...it's how he lives now....just like King David....he wasn't the best example of moral living until God dealt with him...
Know one knows what the Holy Spirit is doing in his heart right now...we are not doing God any favors by putting our 2 cents worth in about how we think. We are suppose to be praying for all our leaders, praying for peace, and praying for REVIVAL!
You completely misunderstood what I was saying - and my intentions.
I wasn’t judging him , I was talking generally about the curious way in which God works at times. I was merely expressing some questions that I found intriguing to consider after watching the video.
Never mind - I will just mull them over by myself x

You may like this link to stories about revivals: - Revivals Index
Pray is always a catalyst for revival and it has far reaching impact even many years after the revival has waned.

I apologize for responding rather harshly....I was more drawn towards that speaker and his emotional cry to pray for revival for we never know what God is doing through the lives of those who pray for it and how it even begins.
That’s ok xx
I was more drawn to the women he mentioned, we will all respond differently to things we watch, and that guides the way we pray and reflect x

Well you will be pleased to know, after hearing last night's revival in Nineveh sermon, I started praying for revival again.

Hi. During the 2016 Republican primary season, I was watching people coming out from a large Trump meeting. As people were exiting the building, a T.V. crew were asking them how the meeting was. One person said, "It was like a revival in there." Have you ever heard something for the first time and instantly knew it was true? This was one of those times for me. This was sure an unexpected way to end my day. Great video! Shalom.

that Bible from the isle of lewis has stood the test of time
To revive someone means to resurrect them. It seems that is discussed much in the Bible, but this is a praise thread in the praise section and not a place for discussions like that. You should ask your question in an appropriate sub-forum!

‘to revive someone means to resurrect them.’ Wow, Amadeus. Bring them to Life. It is that ‘to revive someone’. See so many today beat down by this world who need ‘to be revived’.
@VictoryinJesus More broadly, 1 Corinthians 15 is such an encouraging chapter, leading to the victory and the steadfastness of verses 57 and 58.

Quite true. I did a study of revivals whilst I was in Bible college. The outstanding feature was always prayer.
Lately, I have been thinking of the 45 churches that inhabit where I live and I realized that not one of them has any vision for a move of God that would sweep people into the kingdom. They all do the same thing every week with their own particular emphasis.
And because they are so separated and distant from each other I was thinking God how can we ever work together?
And then it came to me. As is so often God uses a remnant to accomplish his purposes and it could be the case here. I know there are some people in some churches who do pray outside of the obligatory 30 minutes a week, and I know that God commands the blessing when the brethren dwell together in unity so..... why not operate on this basis.
I came up with the name of Gideonites and it would be a prayer ministry inviting all the churches to invite at least one person to be part of a group that could pray as the Spirit leads without the shackles of denominational dictates and with a particular focus on revival.
Will have to see where this leads once the virus lockdown is over.

Thank you. Yes, such an encouraging chapter, leading to the victory and the steadfastness of Christ. Especially ‘Awake to soberness righteously’ 1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
Romans 13:10-12 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. [11] And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. [12] The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
...let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. (Awake to soberness righteously) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. [8] But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
When considering ‘to revive someone means to resurrect them’ is the Hope not they be set upright and standing awake to soberness and not staggering drunk. Ephesians 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. (John 11:9-11)
‘to revive someone means to resurrect them’ Ezekiel 37:1-5 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, [2] And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. [3] And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. [4] Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. [5] Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

Wow! Yes, I have seen that God has His mighty hand on Donald Trump! God’s will be done concerning him! I have also seen the window this man mentions. May ALL God’s people see it!!! Let revival fall on America!!!
BTW, I’ve been praying for revival in America since 9-11! So...for almost 20 years.

The author of this book has travelled the world telling people how to start revivals, but sadly after he leaves the spark he created during his visit is extinguished.
What I perceive is missing in what he has written is how do you keep a revival/move of the spirit to continue after it has started.
My understanding is that if you teach a person how to fish, then he should never go hungry, but so much focus is on the steps needed to start a revival/fishing that people forget the requirements of how you maintain the revival/fishing once it begins.
What is needed within the church is teaching on how to remain holy in everything that we do. To put it another way, How to maintain their relationship with God once the excitement fades.
If we focus on teaching people how they can be holy and how to maintain that holiness once they embrace it, then a revival will break out in the midst of that community.
To many itinerate preaches go into an area to "dance up a revival" without providing the teaching on how to maintain the communities relationship over time focused on their relationship with God.
Shalom
