So very sad, and mass shootings becoming more frequent.  People need the Lord, He is the only answer.  We need to really pray for God to move.  That the light of the gospel would shine in the darkness.  For lost souls to be saved, and that holiness would be restored to the backslidden and those who are captive under false gospels.  God has to send chastisements to wake us up, unfortunately.

WHEN REVIVAL Ran EPIDEMIC

-from 'Glimpses' #41.

 

Sometimes it is during the days of  hopelessness and despair that

revival comes to a people! So it was in the middle of the nineteenth

century. In the United States, it was a spiritual, political, and

economic low point. Many people had become disillusioned with

spiritual things because of preachers who had repeatedly and

falsely predicted the end of the world in the 1840's.

 

Agitation over the slavery issue had bred much political unrest, and

civil war seemed imminent. A financial panic hit in 1857. Banks

failed, railroads were bankrupt, factories closed, unemployment

increased. Many Christians realized the need for prayer in such

dire situations, and prayer-meetings began to spread around the

country.

 

In the lower Manhattan section of New York, a Dutch Reformed

church had been steadily losing members; they hired missionary

Jeremiah Lamphier to reverse the trend with an active visitation

program. However, he had little success in awakening church

members by his visits, so in September, 1857, he rented a hall on

Fulton street in New York City and advertised its availability for

prayer meetings. Six men assembled for that first prayer meeting

on September 23. Two days later the Bank of Philadelphia failed.

In October the men began praying together daily; on October 10

the stock market crashed. The financial panic triggered a religious

awakening, and people flocked to the prayer meetings. Within six

months 10,000 people were gathering daily for prayer in New York

City alone.

 

The movement explodes:

 

Other cities also were experiencing a renewed interest in prayer.

In Chicago, the Metropolitan Theater was filled every day with

2000 people assembling for prayer. In Louisville, several thousand

came to the Masonic Temple for prayer each morning. Two

thousand assembled for daily prayer in Cleveland,  and the

St. Louis churches were filled for months at a time. The newly

formed YMCA also played an important role in holding prayer

meetings and spreading the revival throughout the country.

 

When media actually helped

 

In February 1858, Gordon Bennett of the New York Herald gave

extensive coverage to the prayer meeting revival. Not to be outdone,

the New York Tribune devoted an entire issue in April, 1858 to

news of the revival. News of the revival quickly traveled westward

by telegraph. This was the first revival in  which the media played

an important role in spreading the revival.

 

Prayer everywhere

 

The prayer meetings were organized in the cities by lay people

and were interdenominational.

 

Unlike earlier awakenings, prayer rather than preaching was the

main  instrument of revival. Tents were often set up as places

where people  could gather for prayer, introducing a custom

followed by later revivalists. The meetings themselves were very

informal -- any person might pray, exhort, lead in a song, or give

a word of testimony, with a five minute limit placed on each

speaker. In spite of the less structured nature of the prayer

meetings, they lacked the extreme emotionalism which some

had criticized in earlier revivals.

 

This was the first revival beginning in America with a worldwide

impact. From the United States the revival spread to Ireland,

Scotland, Wales, England, Europe, South Africa, India, Australia,

and the Pacific islands. In geographical and proportionate

numerical extent, the revival of 1857-1860 has not been equaled.

Even ships coming into British ports told of the revival in America.

Ireland soon began to experience a prayer meeting revival as well,

with crowds becoming so large they had to meet in the open air.

When John Cairns preached in Belfast in May, 1859, he had

never before seen such eagerness to hear the gospel or lives

which had been so transformed by the revival. He said: "Nature

does not contain any epidemic so like to Christian conversion."

 

When Andrew Bonar heard of the work in Ireland, he increased his

prayer for a revival in Scotland. In his diary of July 3, 1859, he

wrote, "Again this night in sorrow of heart over the terrible

carelessness, indifference, deadness of this 'valley of dry bones.'

O my God, come over to Scotland  and help us!"  Within two

months Andrew Bonar found himself in the midst of revival in

Scotland. On September 10th he wrote in his diary, "This has

been a remarkable week: every day I have heard of some soul

saved among us..."  All classes became interested in salvation,

backsliders returned, conversions increased, and Christians

desired a deeper instruction in spiritual truths. Families

established daily devotions, and entire communities underwent

a noticeable change in morals. Not celebrities but ordinary people

praying. Similar changes were noted as the revival spread to

Wales, England, and beyond.

 

There was an absence of great names connected with the revival;

lay people in prayer were the prime instruments used by God in

awakening the people. The preaching, which in many areas had

become too intellectual and lifeless, now concentrated on the

truths of the gospel of Christ and His cross. The results of the

revival of 1859 in the areas of evangelism, missions, and social

action continued for decades.

 

Many who became Christian leaders during the second half of the

nineteenth century were greatly affected by the revival-- such as

D.L. Moody, William Booth, C.H.  Spurgeon, and A.B. Simpson.

As James Buchanan of Scotland summarized, it  was a time when

"new spiritual life was imparted to the dead, and new spiritual

health imparted to the living."

 

Getting a people spiritually ready to face tragedy?

 

The revival of 1859 had similar effects in the  North and the South,

and may have prepared many Americans  spiritually to survive the

horrors of the war that broke out a few years later. The awakening

continued into the Civil War period, a great revival occurring in the

Southern armies in 1863-64.

With everyone, including Australian's calling for tougher gun laws and even gun banns here's what Donald Trump said, and I tend to agree with his statement.

 

 

Quote

"Mr. Trump said the problem with gun control in the US is that even if every “decent American” gave up their guns, the criminals never will. And as a result, “they would wreak havoc like never before on our country”.

“The fact is, there will always be sick and demonic souls who wish to harm the innocent,” Mr. Trump said at the convention.

“But the existence of evil in our world is not a reason to stop law abiding citizens who know how to use their weapon and can protect a lot of people. The existence of evil is one of the very best reasons to arm law abiding citizens.”

 Guns save people's lives here in the US every day.   It's just that no one reports it.

https://www.liberty.edu/champion/2021/04/opinion-guns-save-lives-and-should-not-be-taken-away/

It is estimated that 1,029,615 individuals use guns every year in self-defense, excluding those in the police force and the military.

Of those people, 162,000 said they “almost certainly would have been killed” without their firearm to protect them.

To put it in perspective, the average homicide gun-related death per year is 11,208.

Guns are ok for the military, law enforcement and hunting.

That's wonderful to read! 😊 However, as we're in the last days, I unfortunately can't believe in any "revival", but rather a great falling away. 😔

Yes, I agree with you there. In Norway 🇳🇴 it is not allowed to wear or own a gun or weapon or something like that, unless you are a hunter, soldier or a policeman etc. 

Nevertheless, there will always be a few who go against this law, but I personally believe that if everyone was allowed to have a weapon, we would have more shooting and violence here. 

I know that many in the USA 🇺🇸 disagree with me, but that is alright. 😊 I guess it has something to do with the difference in our culture here?

With regards to how guns are viewed in a culture..  I am thinking perhaps there might be a very VERY big difference between at least part of the Usa.... and both our countries (and many other countries too) 

Just my thoughts.
