It challenges listeners to rekindle their passion for Christ by focusing on the significance of the cross, the resurrection, and the authority given to believers over the enemy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Society ladies, professors from the University, she had Revival. I stepped back in that conference, I was a pastor of that church and the place was packed. And we began to sing the last stanza of the hymn she wrote. And they sang this, There is a love constraining me to go and seek the lost. I yield, O Lord, my all to Thee to save at any cost. There is a fire that falls on me as in the upper room, destroying all canality, dispelling fear and gloom. There is a life that was given me, a life divine and strong. It carries me through every sea of sorrow, storm and wrong. There is a love constraining me to go and seek the lost. I yield, O Lord, my all to Thee to save at any cost. And I saw people on the front row looking up at her and say, There's that big old lady, the tears were running down. There she is, standing at the side of our pastor. Forget it, she wasn't with me at all. She was back in one of those revivals. I'm sure she was seeing what happened, why she blocked the streets like we used to do in England. And the cops came and arrested her. And she didn't take the warning, she went another day and blocked the street. And they took her to court. And the judge says, All right, you start a prison sentence next Monday morning at nine o'clock. And you'll go to prison for, I don't know, ten days or something. She said, No, Your Excellency. What do you mean no? I can't go to, you can go to prison, you broke the law. You may be an English lady, you broke the law, you go to prison. No sir, I can't go to prison next. Why can't you go to prison next Monday morning? She said, Because I'm starting a prison sentence in France next Monday morning, that's why. Oh dear Lord. That passion, that vision seems to have gone somehow. Do you know why? Because the cross has got dimmed, for one thing. Because the resurrection has got dimmed, for one thing. Because we give Satan more credit than he should have. He gave us power over all the power of the enemy. Does that happen in your church? Come on now, come on, not theologically, does it happen? ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/hFQmd-zRkC0.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/leonard-ravenhill/sermon-clip-revival-and-the-cross/ ========================================================================
