[b]Sow in tears[/b]

‘Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy’. Psalm 126:5.

There is no room for pride as we seek God for revival. All we can do is humble ourselves before the Mighty One and cry out for His mercy.

Great names mean nothing in prayer for revival. Look at Evan Roberts, he was a no-body by mans standards, yet he was the only one God could find who was ready to be used in revival.

It is up to us now, as individuals, small groups or churches, to seek the Lord while He may be found. The promise is sure, if we sow in tears as we pray for revival, later we shall reap in joy as we see His Spirit poured out on all flesh.

Now is the time for us to put our words into actions. We have talked about prayer for revival for decades, now let us be true to everything we have said.

May eternity and church historians judge our generation as faithful to our calling to pray for and embrace revival?

Our Lord said 'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.' (Matthew 25:35). So as you help feed some of the poorest believers in the world in North Korea you are feeding Jesus Christ. And by giving Bibles to those believers who have no access to Scriptures you are equpping believers to be disciples of Jesus Christ to share the Good News with a lost world.

Psalm 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Isaiah 42:3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench:

Isaiah 50:4 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.


I believe the sowing that is being spoken of is pertaining to the word of God being sowed. I have never thought of it as sowing for revival. But now that you mentioned it, it could also be for revival.

One thing I know is how could God send a revival without tears being sowed!
