Dr. Adrian Rogers: OUR HOMES NEED REVIVAL. OUR CHURCHES NEED REVIVAL. THIS NATION AND THIS WORLD NEEDS REVIVAL. BUT THERE’S NO MILITARY POWER THAT CAN BRING REVIVAL. THERE’S NO ECONOMIC UPTURN THAT CAN BRING REVIVAL. AND LISTEN TO ME, THERE IS NO ELECTION THAT CAN BRING REVIVAL. REVIVAL IS THE SOVEREIGN WORK OF ALMIGHTY GOD.
AND I LOOK AROUND, MANY CHRISTIANS ARE DISCOURAGED, MANY HAVE NO HOPE FOR REVIVAL. THEY DON’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT REVIVAL IS POSSIBLE. AND I WANT TO TELL YOU, REVIVAL IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE, IT IS INEVITABLE WHEN GOD’S PEOPLE GET RIGHT WITH GOD. Announcer: PROFOUND TRUTH. SIMPLY STATED. THIS IS LOVE WORTH FINDING WITH PASTOR, TEACHER, AND AUTHOR ADRIAN ROGERS.
♪ Dr. Adrian: NOW, WOULD YOU TAKE GOD’S WORD AND TURN TO ISAIAH 64? AND WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND IT, LOOK UP HERE. THE TITLE OF THE MESSAGE THIS MORNING IS THIS, “REVIVAL IS WHEN GOD SHOWS UP!” WHEN GOD SHOWS UP, THAT IS REVIVAL. OUR HOMES NEED REVIVAL. OUR CHURCHES NEED REVIVAL. THIS NATION AND THIS WORLD NEEDS REVIVAL.
BUT THERE’S NO MILITARY POWER THAT CAN BRING REVIVAL. THERE’S NO ECONOMIC UPTURN THAT CAN BRING REVIVAL. AND LISTEN TO ME, THERE IS NO ELECTION THAT CAN BRING REVIVAL. REVIVAL IS THE SOVEREIGN WORK OF ALMIGHTY GOD. THE SETTING OF THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IS THIS; GOD’S PEOPLE HAD BEEN CARRIED AWAY INTO CAPTIVITY AND GOD’S WORK WAS IN DISREPAIR.
GOD’S PEOPLE WERE DISPIRITED, AND THEY’RE SO MUCH LIKE THE MODERN CHURCH TODAY. THE MODERN CHURCH TODAY HAS BEEN CARRIED AWAY INTO CAPTIVITY BY THE WORLD AND THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL. AND I LOOK AROUND, MANY CHRISTIANS ARE DISCOURAGED, MANY HAVE NO HOPE FOR REVIVAL. THEY DON’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT REVIVAL IS POSSIBLE.
