    3. Rend Your Hearts - Part 2

    In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.'" And John himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and the entire region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. (Matthew 3:1-10) We must preach repentance, as did John the Baptist. There is no forgiveness without repentance. There can be no birth into the Kingdom of God without hearing the call to salvation, renouncing one’s sin and turning from sin toward Christ the Savior. There can be no growth in the Kingdom of God without obedience to Jesus’ commands and a childlike responsiveness as a disciple of Jesus, yielding to the teaching of God’s Word. There can be no lifelong increase of fruit as a citizen of the Kingdom of God without a willingness to accept the Holy Spirit correction and guidance.

    2. Rend Your Hearts - Part 1

    Billy Graham says: We need a spiritual revival that will put a new moral fiber into our society... Ever since the end of World War II this country, along with the other English-speaking countries, has been plunging into moral corruption at a rate that is gaining momentum. Honesty and truthfulness have been thrown out of the window. The United States of America is on one mad whirl of amusements and pleasure and licentiousness and immorality. Juvenile delinquency is mounting so rapidly we can't keep pace with the figures. The drug menace is increasing, and claiming new young victims every day. Some of the identical symptoms that were noticed in Rome during the last days of the Empire are now observed and felt in our society. Divorce rates are increasing. Racial tensions are worse, not better. Inflation is eroding the savings of those with lower incomes. Political issues are dividing us. Confidence in government has been shaken. Walk down the streets of our cities and read the names of the latest films on the marquees. Most of the films deal with sex, crime, and abnormal behavior. One can only ask, what is the country coming to? As things are, we are being softened up for the kill. It is time that we come to the foot of the cross. When we come to the cross and receive Christ as Savior, he gives us the capacity to love our neighbor. There is no superior race in God's sight. God does not look on the outward appearance, he looks on the heart. God sees our pride. We will have to come where we can love each other as neighbors and look through the eyes of Jesus at these problems. One of the biggest dangers to the Western world today is false religion. The cults are flourishing. Thousands of people in our churches are serving God with their lips, but their hearts are far from him. They have never had an encounter with Jesus Christ, have never been born again, and have never been converted. God is looking for real and genuine repentance. In effect, Billy Graham is echoing the passage in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which states: "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." In essence, this is the divine philosophy of revival. It teaches that revival implies a spiritual deterioration; it also teaches that revival involves spiritual awakening. It does not matter how dark and depressing a spiritual situation may be; if God's people, who are called by His name will humble themselves, and pray and seek His face, and forsake their sins, God will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. In other words, this verse gives us hope.

    1. A Cry for Help

    Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence As fire burns wood, as fire causes water to boil to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence! When You did awesome things for which we did not look, You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence. For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him. You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned in these ways we continue; and we need to be saved. (Isaiah 64:1-5) In 1904, Christians in Wales witnessed the rapid spread of worldliness and humanistic philosophy in their land, which produced a deadening effect in the churches. One church leader observed, "While the church slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. It will take an outpouring of the Spirit from on high to uproot them, and save our land from becoming prey to atheism and ungodliness." In response to the conditions around them, Welsh pastors began a season of intense prayer. As they prayed, they began to experience God's power in their churches. Pastor Joseph Jenkins of New Quay Church organized a special conference in January 1904, in which many in his church began experiencing personal revival. The spirit of revival continued under the preaching of Evangelist Seth Joshua. Later that year, Joshua preached in the town of Blaenannerch. During his meetings there were students from the nearby Methodist Academy. Evan Roberts was one of the academy students who attended. On Thursday, September 29, 1904, the evangelist concluded his preaching by, crying out in Welsh, "Lord, bend us." The Holy Spirit said to Evan Roberts, "That is what you need." Evan began praying, "O Lord, bend me." He felt himself overwhelmed by the love of God. Rom. 5:8 came to his mind: "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The motto of the revival in Wales was born out of Roberts' experience that day: "Bend the church and save the world." Though still young, he became God's agent to carry the spirit of revival throughout his homeland.
