Memory Verse: II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Revival is something deeper than a week of meetings with an evangelist or an outstanding musical group packing in crowds to hear Gospel music. It cannot be the experience of the world. Revival has to do with bringing back life and is specifically the business of Christians.
Dr. R.A. Torrey, the famous revivalist, once said: "I can give a prescription that will bring a revival to any church or community or any city on earth:
"First, let a few Christians (they need not be many) get thoroughly right with God themselves. This is the prime essential. If this is not done, the rest that I am to say will come to nothing.
"Second, let them bind themselves together in a prayer group to pray for revival until God opens the heavens and comes down.
"Third, let them put themselves at the disposal of God for Him to use as He sees fit in winning others to Christ. That is all.
"This is sure to bring a revival to any church or community. I have given this prescription around the world. It has been taken by many churches and many communities, and in no instances has it ever failed; and it cannot fail!"
A mother once took her child to a doctor because of a raging fever. The doctor remembered he had seen the child for an illness only a few days earlier. Upon questioning the mother, he found she had not had the prescription filled that he had given her.
