EVERY MOVE OF GOD IN CHURCH HISTORY CAN BE TRACED TO A KNEELING ( PRAYING) CHRISTIAN
HEAR WHAT CHARLES G. FINNEY SAID:
” I have never seen a person sweat blood, but I do know a person who prayed until HIS NOSE BLED!”
“And people have prayed until DRENCHED WITH SWEAT, EVEN IN THE COLDEST WINTER !”
“Some have prayed for hours until their strength was exhausted from the labour of their minds….
Such prayers reached out and TOOK HOLD OF GOD”
Such prayers reached out and TOOK HOLD OF GOD”
NOTE: CHARLES G. FINNEY WAS THE MOST PROMINENT AMERICAN REVIVALIST/EVANGELIST OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
HE IS THE FATHER MODERN REVIVALISM
HIS MINISTRY WAS CREDITED WITH LEADING MORE THAN HAVE A MILLION PEOPLE TO SALVATION
HIS METHODS LAID THE FOUNDATION OF REVIVAL SERVICES TILL TODAY
HE STARTED THE IDEA OF ALTAR CALLS WHICH MOST PREACHERS USE TILL TODAY
REVIVALS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE UNDER HIS MINISTRY
HE BELIEVED IN PRAYING DOWN REVIVALS.
MANY BARS BECAME PRAYER CHAPELS DURING HIS DAYS
THE REVIVAL TOUCHED ALL SOCIAL CLASSES, CRIME RATES DROPPED DRAMATICALLY, AND STAYED LOW FOR YEARS
THE REVIVAL HAD GREAT IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY OF THAT TIME
Etc.
Etc.
YET
HIS METHOD WAS:
SIMPLY PREACHING THE GOSPEL, BUT ABUNDANT PRAYING, IN PRIVATE, SOCIAL AND PUBLIC PLACES
HIS METHOD WAS:
SIMPLY PREACHING THE GOSPEL, BUT ABUNDANT PRAYING, IN PRIVATE, SOCIAL AND PUBLIC PLACES
MUCH STRESS WAS PLACED ON PRAYERS AS AN ESSENTIAL MEANS OF PROMOTING REVIVALS
HE BECAME PRAYER PERSONIFIED!
WE NEED PEOPLE LIKE CHARLES FINNEY IN OUR GENERATION TODAY.
ARE YOU READY TO BE USED OF GOD IN GREATER DIMENSIONS?
MAY GOD GIVE US THE GRACE TO ACCEPT THIS GREAT RESPONSIBILITY, RATHER THAN COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
I see a Burning Generation
