In this sermon, the speaker addresses the increasing violence and lawlessness in society and the need for God to intervene. The psalmist's declaration that it is time for God to work is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of knowing the character of God. Throughout history, God has chosen ordinary individuals to rise up and contend for what is being lost or taken captive. The speaker encourages listeners to be willing to be used by God and to live a life of purpose and obedience to His calling. The decline in morality, civility, and truth in society is acknowledged, but the speaker reminds listeners that God's word is the source of wisdom and understanding, and by embracing it, they can make a difference.

In this sermon, the preacher shares two powerful stories of God's work among young people. The first story takes place at a campfire where the preacher is initially concerned about the kids losing focus, but instead, a powerful move of God takes place. Fifteen kids respond to the invitation to be saved, and others begin to weep for their lost relatives and confess their sins. The second story is about a Christian school in a rundown area where the preacher and the students pray for God to work in their midst. They claim the verse "It is time for thee to work, for they have made void thy law" and believe that God will bring transformation to these kids' lives.

In this sermon, the speaker shares his experiences of witnessing the presence of God in meetings and conventions. He recounts a specific incident where he handed over the meeting to a Japanese interpreter who led the congregation in seeking God. As people began to cry out and seek God, the atmosphere became filled with a sense of divine activity. The speaker also shares another experience in Japan where pastors and ministers humbled themselves before God, praying and weeping in His presence. These experiences serve as a reminder of the need for divine activity and a call for people to seek God earnestly.

R.A. Torrey emphasizes the urgent need for prayer before and during revivals, asserting that a general revival is essential in a time when spiritual desolation is widespread. He highlights that true revival is a divine impartation of life that transforms both the church and the unsaved, leading to deep conviction of sin and genuine conversions. Torrey calls for ministers and Christians alike to rekindle their love for souls, the Word of God, and fervent prayer, as these are vital for a successful revival. He warns against the dangers of worldliness and infidelity that plague both the church and society, urging believers to seek God's intervention through persistent prayer. Ultimately, Torrey believes that only a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit can restore life and hope to a dying world.

G. Campbell Morgan recounts the remarkable history of revivals in 19th century Wales, illustrating how each revival shared common traits and influenced one another. He highlights the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, as seen in the experiences of Richard Williams and the village of Beddgelert, where prayer and worship ignited a profound spiritual awakening. Morgan emphasizes the cyclical nature of these revivals, occurring every decade, and the deep longing for spiritual renewal that permeated the Welsh people. He notes the impact of various societal issues, such as temperance and fear during cholera outbreaks, which spurred many to seek God. Ultimately, Morgan conveys a sense of hope and expectation for future revivals, reflecting on the prophetic words of those who sensed a coming move of God.
