This week I have been blessed to be in revival at Union Hill Baptist Church in Ranbourne, Alabama where Johnny Bone is pastor. This is the third year I have been with this pastor and church. Pastor Bone has been there for over five years and, like so many pastors I know, longs to see God work mightily to bring revival to the church. In this regard, there is a beautiful marriage between the pastor and his people. I have found in this church a faithful Gidean band who are consistently faithful in service, who hunger after righteousness and seek the face of God for revival.
I confess that I am not praying for revival at Union Hill Baptist Church. I am praying for revival, period. I see America as a nation under judgment: far more ripe for judgement than for revival. When we pray for revival in America we are praying for mercy. But our God is a God of mercy, a God who delights in mercy.
Pray that God will give revival that will shake this country. When revival comes to a nation it always comes sweepingly. It can never be confined to one church, to one denomination or to one locale. Vance Havner used to say, “When the tide is out, every little shrimp has a puddle of his own but when the tide comes in, they all get caught up together.”
Pray that God will send revival to our land and pray that churches like Union Hill Baptist Church will be a part of that revival. Then, pray that YOU will be a part of that revival.
