Notes on the Welsh Revival and What We Can
Expect to See Again if We Pray -- Report by Kathie Walters
==========================================
First, a note from Steve Shultz:
The Psalmist, inspired by the Holy Spirit cries
out:
Ps 66:5 Come and see what God HAS DONE, how
awesome his works in man's behalf!
We are to remind our children and remind
ourselves--and praise the LORD for the specific things He has
done in the past. The Lord responds to these prayers and praise
by doing it again.
THE PROPHET IS TO CALL OUT TO GOD FOR THE
RENEWAL OF GOD'S WORKS:
One of the jobs of a prophet is to pray what
Habakkuk prayed to God:
Hab 3:1-2 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet.
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O
LORD. Renew them in our day, IN OUR TIME make them known; in
wrath remember mercy.
AND GOD IS ABOUT TO RENEW WHAT HE HAS DONE
BEFORE IN REVIVAL. ---WHAT HE DID IN THE 1904 WELSH REVIVAL HE
WILL DO AGAIN -----WHAT HE DID IN REVIVAL IN EVERY CITY--HE WILL
DO AGAIN!
Read these passages from the HISTORY of the
WELSH REVIVAL and then you too can pray:
LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe
of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, IN OUR TIME make
them known;
At the end of this report, is contact
information to be placed on the WALES LIST for prayer and revival
information. But I'll give you that email address here as well.

HISTORICAL REPORTS ON THE WELSH REVIVAL
I am getting a real burden about
"preparing the way": I've had that word about four
times in as many days now. I believe the preparing has to do with
real earnest prayer and I am going to send you a two-part article
on the Welsh revival. I know this will stir people up to pray
earnestly -
Notes from the Welsh Revival--submitted by
Kathie Walters
"This is revival!" ( quote from Rev,
Owen Murphy)
WHEN SINNERS TREMBLE
" When men in the streets are afraid to
open their mouths and utter godless words lest the judgment of
God should fall; when sinners, overawed by the presence of God
tremble in the street and cry for mercy; when, without special
meetings and sensational advertising the Holy Ghost sweeps across
cities and towns in supernatural power and holds men in the grip
of terrifying conviction; when every shop becomes a pulpit; every
heart an alter; every home a sanctuary and people walk softly
before God - this is revival!
THE 1904 WELSH REVIVAL
Then Welsh Revival of 1904 -"Like a mighty
tornado, the Spirit of God swept across the land until mountains
and valleys, cities and villages were filled with the mighty
manifestations of God. Churches were crowded and meetings went on
day and night. Prayer, singing and testimonies would sweep over
congregations in torrents and hundreds turned to Christ. Never in
the history of Wales had such indescribable scenes been
witnessed.
WESTMINSTER CHAPEL REPORT OF THE WELSH REVIVAL
Dr. Campbell Morgan, after witnessing the
scenes of revival in Wales, returned to Westminster Chapel in
London and declared;
"Here is revival that comes from heaven;
there is no preaching, no order, no hymn-books, no choirs, no
organs, no collections and finally no advertising. Now think of
that for a moment! There were organs - but they were silent.
There were ministers - but there was no preaching -they were
among the people praising God! Yet the Welsh revival is a revival
of preaching for everybody is preaching. No order and yet it
moves from day to day, county to county with matchless precision,
with the order of an attacking force. No song-books, but- ah me,
I nearly wept tonight over the singing! When the Welsh sing they
abandon themselves to the singing. No choir did I say? It was all
choir..... Wales is ablaze for God, already 50,000 converts have
been recorded and the great awakening shows no signs of waning.
It is sweeping over hundreds of villages and cities, emptying
saloons, theaters and dance halls, and filling the churches night
after night with praying multitudes. Go where you will, into the
bank, the store, the trains.
EVERYWHERE, MEN ARE TALKING ABOUT GOD!!!
Everywhere men are talking about God. If you
could stand above Wales, looking down over it you would see the
fire breaking out here and there and yonder, and somewhere else
without any pre-arrangement. It is a divine visitation from God
-0h let me say this reverently, -in which God is saying to us,
"See what I can do without the things you are depending on:
see what I can do through a praying people who are prepared to
depend wholly and absolutely upon Me."
IN SOME COMMUNITIES, CRIME DISAPPEARED
Like a tree shaken by a mighty storm, Wales was
moved by the power of God until almost every home in the nation
felt its impact. Newspapers in bold headlines carried the news of
the amazing scenes taking place. So great was the fear of God,
and conviction gripped the people, that in some communities crime
disappeared - Magistrates were presented with a blank paper, no
cases to be tried. And, to commemorate the occasion they were
presented with white gloves! In more than one place the Post
office's supply of money orders were exhausted as people sought
to make restitution by paying their debts.
Saloons and theaters were closed and stores
were sold out of Bibles and New Testaments. Members of
Parliament, busy attending revival services, postponed their
political meetings: Theatrical companies coming into districts
found no audiences- for all the world was praying.
This is revival - A mighty God moving on behalf
of men and women who have cried out to Him
PREPARING THE WAY THROUGH PRAYER
Can God do this again - I believe He is waiting
to release His awesome power - He is now preparing the way
through dedicated and praying, believing people.
