AMERICA
SHALL
BE SAVED

In yesterday’s post, I shared some of the weaknesses that came into the American church during the revival of the 1960s and 70s; I’ll discuss more of them today. I’m doing so to enable us to learn from those mistakes, pray with understanding for these deficiencies to change, and also to pray that they are not repeated in the coming revival.

When a storm and its strong winds bring large waves ashore, they often leave a lot of debris, requiring considerable cleanup. Unfortunately, the same is true of spiritual waves of revival; along with the good outpouring of rain they produce, debris also washes ashore. Along with the tremendous good from the great outpouring of Holy Spirit in the 1960s and 70s, negative fallout also occurred. Babies make “messes,” and a lot of babies were born in that era. Another great reviv

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

As well as formless and empty, these two words have a broad range of meanings, including “desolation, desert, barren, confusion, and even chaos

I’ve said quite a bit lately about our Helper, the Holy Spirit. He aids us in many ways, not the least of which is guidance. He led the Israelites in a very unique way in the Exodus from Egypt, through a literal “pillar of a cloud” by day, and a “pillar of fire” by night (Exodus 13:21-22): “And the Lord was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, so that they might travel by day and by night.

In yesterday’s post, we looked at Jeremiah 33:3, where God said if we would call on Him, He would show us great and mighty things we have never seen. We saw that the word “mighty” does not refer to physical power or might but carries the connotation of something hidden and therefore fortified or protected. The verse is saying God will reveal to us things previously hidden and protected. Isaiah 48:6-7 is another passage speaking of God revealing previously hidden things. “Th
