This sermon emphasizes the importance of revival, highlighting the presence of an angry enemy, Satan, who opposes revival and seeks to distract and destroy God's people. It warns against being deceived by distractions and urges believers to guard their hearts, stay clear of idolatry, and be vigilant against the enemy's schemes to hinder revival.

Brothers and sisters, revival is just God. Is God still alive? Revival is God. So yes, revival can happen again. It can happen in your own life again. It can happen here this week again. It can happen in your church. Yes, it can. A strong cry for revival comes up. Understand, brothers and sisters? Let's move on from here. Let's look at the angry enemy of revival. Anybody know who that is? In this psalm, he's the boar out of the woods. And this boar out of the woods, I've seen a boar. We're not talking about a regular pig like you find in a barn somewhere here in America. This is a boar. I mean, he's got teeth and he's got fangs sticking out there, and he is one wild, mean character. And he'll kill you if you meet him out in the wilderness somewhere. There is an enemy who hates revival. With an evil, lustful passion, Satan is his name. One of these boars can destroy a beautiful vineyard in one night if he gets in there. Just tearing things, vines shredding in every direction. He can destroy a vineyard in one night. And so can Satan destroy a vineyard in one night. He's the angry enemy of revival. He hates revival. Oh, he doesn't mind if you go to church. No problem. You can go to church. He doesn't mind if you go to church. He doesn't mind if you carry your Bible and go to church. He doesn't mind if you bring a songbook along with you. He doesn't mind if you sing those songs at the time. He doesn't even mind if you say amen when the preacher's preaching. He don't mind. You let that fire begin to burn in your soul again, and you will find out about the angry enemy of revival. He'll be on your doorstep in short order. Isn't that interesting? We can float along for five years just kind of doing the old church thing, you know. And he's not going to bother us. He never knocks on our door. He never messes with us. He doesn't need to mess with us. But as soon as the fire begins to burn, and that old conscience starts getting clarity, and it gets clear again, and the spirit of the living God begins to settle down upon you, and all of a sudden that mouth wants to open up and speak about Jesus everywhere you went. Oh, he's going to be knocking on your door. He's the angry enemy of revival. He doesn't want revival to happen. He doesn't want you to get stirred up, and he'll do everything he can to keep you from doing it. He doesn't want you to turn your life around. He goes to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking whom he may devour. And brothers and sisters, if there's a choice on who we can devour and not devour, think about it. Tonight, are you one whom he may devour? There are those he may not devour, and there are those he may devour. Which one are you? We must watch his wiles. We must keep our hearts clear. We must not give him any place. He would to destroy us, brothers and sisters, and he would to distract us. Oh, listen, that's probably his greatest trick here in America, is to distract God's people. Distract them. You know, get the TV on. Get the TV on. Distract them. Something else to do. Oh, good deal coming up. Big business deal. Lots of money. Yeah, go make some money. Here. Here's a few toys you can play with. Go do that for a few hours. Fill your garage up with them, and spend your weekends doing that. Yeah, he loves that. He loves that. Amen? Now we're going to meddling. But it's true, and you know it's true. He's distracting God's people. I'll never forget the sermon that I heard preached by Billy Graham, I don't know, 1954 or something like that. Wow, was it a hot sermon. He preached on television, and he stunned those people about television in 1954, and he made a prophecy when he said it. In 1954, he said, the television is going to destroy the devotional life of American Christianity. Oh, was he a prophet or what? It happened. You know what I'd do if I were you? I'd get my shoe, I'd get my boot on, and I'd put my boot right through the middle of it. Sorry about that. Call me a legalist if you want, but I'd just put my boot on, and put my boot right through the whole thing, and pick up my Bible, and go for God! I mean, how do you think revival's going to come, brothers and sisters? Watching the Sopa prison, all the nonsense they have on there? I don't believe so. But the boar out of woods is after us, because the hedge has been broken down. He would demolish our unity, and get us fussing with each other. He would deceive us into little sins that open up our heads, so that our conscience gets cloudy, and we no longer can see clearly what's happening around us. He would cloud our conscience, so that we're not sensitive to the lost souls that are around us every day. And once he has you there, no problem. He'll just let you right there, and you can float along for the next ten years, enjoy life, and wait for heaven to come. Oh, really? Alright. Brothers and sisters, the boar out of the woods is loose in the church. He is the angry enemy of revival. Oh, let us get our hearts clear and right with God, and stand guard over that precious heart, and the precious gift of Jesus Christ which is in there. Let us get jealous over our heart, brothers and sisters. Because Jesus will not dwell there and rule there, where he's not allowed to rule. And he will not dwell there where idols are dwelling. And brothers and sisters, there's a lot of idolatry in America. Oh, we're sophisticated heathen. We don't bow down to them anymore, or dance around them like they do in Africa. There's a lot of idolatry in America. Do you think that revival will come if God's people are bowing down to all kinds of other things except precious Jesus? It will not come. It will not come. Let's move on.
