DO IT AGAIN LORD

Psa. 102:15 Nations will fear the name of the LORD,

and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

All of us know the world is a mess and really needs to be fixed. I guess the question that needs to be asked is how does it need to be changed and how should that be accomplished? As usual, the Lord has a very simple answer. What is that answer? The solution lies in the church itself not in the culture of the world. Revival, divine visitation in the local church, ultimately impacts the world we live in. Think about it, the Almighty God visits His people, how can there not be a change? Everywhere He goes, life follows. When God visits His church, today’s verse says the people (nations) and even the kings will be impacted. I say ‘do it again Lord’. Here is how Spurgeon sees it.

“So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD. Mercy within the church is soon perceived by those without. When a candle is lit in the house, it shines through the window. When Zion rejoices in her God, the heathen been to reverence his name, for they hear of the wonders of his power, and are impressed thereby. And all the kings of the earth thy glory. The restoration of Jerusalem was a marvel among the princes who heard of it, and its ultimate resurrection in days yet to come will be one of the prodigies of history. A church quickened by divine power is so striking an object in current history that it cannot escape notice, rulers cannot ignore it, it affects the Legislature, and forces from the great ones of the earth a recognition of the divine working. Oh that we might see in our days such a revival of religion that our senators and princes might be compelled to pay homage to the Lord, and own his glorious grace. This cannot be till the saints are better edified, and more fully builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Internal prosperity is the true source of the church’s external influence.”

The Lord has promised to do it again, numerous prophecies describe a great time of spiritual outpouring at the end of the age. It seems as if the Lord is allowing a time of spiritual darkness in the land; that will be temporary. If you look throughout history there is often a time of great darkness just before the light breaks in. The time of darkness is passing away, the true day is drawing near. DO IT AGAIN LORD.
