Revival: A Revival of Repentance
If My people who are called by My name will 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. --2 Chronicles 7:14
I have little fear that any nation or combination of nations could bring down the United States and Canada by military action from without. But this I do fear-we sin and sin and do nothing about it. There is so little sense of the need of repentance-so little burden for the will of God to be wrought in our national life. I fear that the voice of blood will become so eloquent that God Almighty will have no choice but to speak the word that will bring us down.
I do pray often: "Oh God, send a revival of repentance and the fear of God that will sweep through the continent that we may be spared and that we may honor Thee!" Echoes from Eden, 44.
"Lord, I pray for our country today. We've deteriorated morally so horribly since Tozer's day. I too pray, 'Oh God, send a revival of repentance and the fear of God that will sweep through the continent that we may be spared and that we may honor Thee!' Amen."
This Insight for Leaders devotional is also available in a print-friendly format here on the LMI web site.
TOZER PINGAnd boy, was he right.
Nations fall from within.
I wonder if we really started preaching, got our lives right and got out on the streets of our cities and towns in a really weird way like how the Old prophets did it, if maybe God would grant them to hear and to turn and he would heal them. Or maybe he has closed their ears as tight as our mouths are shut.
Mat 13:15 'For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
