THE WELSH REVIVAL OF 1904-05

THE WELSH REVIVAL OF 1904-05 - Oliver W. Price

During the spring of 1904 a young Welshman named Evan Roberts was repeatedly awakened at 1:00 a.m. He met with God until 5:00 a.m. The Welsh revival followed. Churches were packed for prayer meetings. In a prayer meeting for young people, Pastor Joseph Jenkins asked for testimonies. A young girl named Florrie Evans, who had only been a believer a few days, rose and with a trembling voice said simply, "I love Jesus with all my heart." The other young people's hearts were melted. A powerful spiritual awakening that brought 100,000 people to Christ was under way.

On November 7th, 1904 Moraih Chapel was filled to capacity for a prayer meeting that lasted until 3:00 a.m. Soul winning spread through the coalmines. Profane swearing stopped. Even the miners' horses were puzzled when their masters stopped cursing. Orders to the Bible Society "for Scriptures from Wales during November and December, were over three times the amount for the corresponding months of 1903..." The Times said this resulted from the Welsh revival, adding that this demand showed no sign of falling off.

"The mighty and unseen breath of the Spirit was doing in a month more than centuries of legislation could accomplish" the pastor of Saint John's-Wood Presbyterian Church declared on Sunday, January 1st, 1905 according to the London Times.The Welsh revival "had a great effect" in healing spiritual carelessness among Christians and "the growing bitterness which has accentuated our unhappy divisions", the Bishop of Bangor declared on January 2nd, 1905. He called "congregations to meet together often for united prayer."

Do you long to see God move like that in our day?

Do you long to see God move like that in our day? What if, one hundred years later, God so moved in our nation that hundreds of thousands of people, even millions, flooded the churches? If so, remember there is never great, widespread revival without personal revival. Do you seek a personal, deep, Spirit-led movement of God in your life? Then consider these aspects of personal revival taught by Evan Roberts, known as the Four Points:

1. You must put away any unconfessed sin.
2. You must put away any doubtful habit.
3. You must obey the Holy Spirit promptly.
4. You must confess Christ publicly.
May God raise up a generation of people with this passion.

Blessings on Ya!

"America: Take Five to Pray"

"America: Take Five to Pray"
Michele Vento is co-founder and director of Shiloh Ministries International with her husband David. They have been serving the Lord in ministry in various capacities since 1988. David and Michele were sent as missionaries to the nation of Ireland for four years where they established a church in the capital city of Dublin and planted an other in County Wexford. Along with pastoring they helped fledging churches in other parts of Ireland and held several crusades for the entire body there.
Upon their return from Ireland, they continued in ministry and church planting and and conducted a two year Bible School. They also hosted their own morning radio show called "Lift Your Vision Higher"
David and Michele continue to travel throughout the USA and Ireland and where ever doors are opened. They currently attend and are an integral part of ministry at the First Assembly of God in Blairsville, Pennsylvania.

The Blairsville church is an apostolic five fold ministry hub for local, regional and worldwide outreach.

As part of an apostolic team that the Lord is putting together, they work closely with Pastor Charles and Marian Kitner in this work for the Kingdom of God.

The Apostolic and Prophetic gifts upon them have given them a mandate to incite others to fulfil their purpose, live radical lives for Jesus and reach their higher call. It is their strong desire to see the five fold ministry gifts functioning in the church today and the Word preached with signs following. In their meetings the manifest presence of God can be clearly felt and seen through the evidence of healings, deliverances and a strong prophetic voice in operation. The only thing that matters to them is that in all things "Jesus has the pre-eminence".

It is their prayer that as you read and meditate on the truths contained in their devotional book "America: Take Five to Pray" you will grow mightily in Jesus. As you "Take Five" along with many others you will see the fruit of your prayers for this nation.

David and Michele are determined to be a blessing to the Body of Christ and they have a timely message for this hour. They would be delighted to come and share at your church or conference. They believe the whole Word of God and He confirms it with signs following.

Michele is available to speak at you place of prayer and/or ministry and her book is available through the web site below.

What will bring any help to America more than prayer? Any awakening/revival must start with prayer

Keith Green was and is still a voice in the wilderness crying out for all to make straight the way of the Lord. Check out the YOUTUBE Video.
His song messages are for those who hear to repent... Wow now that's a new concept in this day and time...BUT not really... Repentence is a key to an awakening and a revival as well. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. Be real in your walk with the Lord. Make a declaration for such. I did and it goes this way:
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"

Blessings on Ya!
Pastor Kitner
