 HOW LONG does Revival Last?

Dear Brethren,

Some think that revival is only for a season, it is true, but I believe that the season can last for years on end. It does not have to stop. Jesus said that whosoever believes in Me as the Scriptures says, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water. To believe as the Scriptures say is to also obey what it says.

The moment sin comes in and it is not ruthlessly dealt with, it will stop. In the revival among the Zulus which started in 1966 and is still a mighty current today, there is one testimony of a young girl. Here it is:
She was un-schooled, but God used her testimony to bring many to repentance. Then one day, she came to the leaders with the following burden. She said that it has been days since the Lord has worked through her and that she was burdened. She asked them if there was a book in the Bible called Isaiah, and they replied yes. This made her rejoice. She asked about a specific chapter and verse which they than read to her. It came out that God had shown to her in a dream Isaiah 59: "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
She then exposed and confessed that sin she was conscious of and immediately God started working through her again.

This is but one example, but the principle truth is that sin will stop both geographical and personal revival.

May the Lord search our hearts, and if there be any wicked way that we bring it to the light for cleansing.

In His presence,
Gery
