Revival

Here is an extended quote from Philip Eveson, taken from the little book “When God came to North Wales” (Quinta Press, 2010).

Revival is more than having good church attendance. It is more than enthusiastic evangelistic activity with positive results. Rhos knew all this before revival came. Revival is that extra, that indescribable. It is the conscious presence of something altogether out of this world. The pure, powerful Spirit of God pervades the whole district. It results, as the New Testament indicates, in great fear, great grace and great joy, so that the ungodly as well as the godly are aware of it.

It is not wrong to get our meetings to be as user-friendly as is fitting, and to evangelise the lost through every legitimate means. But when all is said and done nothing but an extraordinary demonstration of God’s power is going to change this country for the better.

We live in the era of the Holy Spirit. This should encourage us to believe that God can break out in revival blessing at any time, anywhere. We should therefore pray without ceasing that in our day the Lord woud have mercy and revive his work in Wales and in the rest of Europe to the praise and glory of his great and holy name.
