Revival is still possible here in our nation and around the world. I not only believe it; I am trying to promote it. This week I had the wonderful opportunity to present to a group of pastors on the subject of “Excellence in Ministry” at the Sword of the Lord National Conference in North Carolina. How exciting to still see men of God who want to do this very best for God and see Him work in their churches. My heart was encouraged and stirred at what God is doing and wants to do. These are great days and the church still works!
Recently I read a poem by Evangelist John R. Van Gelderen that says quite a bit about remembering what God can do.
When faith gives way to unbelief
And focus shifts from God to man;
When all seems hopeless for the cause;
Remember God’s reviving plan.
When compromise invades the church
And darkness hovers o’er the land;
When Satan seems to mock the truth,
Remember God’s reviving hand.
Look unto Jesus, Healer still,
Let faith be built, let hope ignite;
God still delivers those who will
Remember God’s reviving might.
Remember now the works of God,
The greater works that He has done;
Remember now His mighty acts,
The victories that He has won.
Do it again Lord!
