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. This happened to come to my inbox this morning: 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. -Source- gospelcom.net/epages/chinstitute.storefront/en/product/1041 -- YES! - You have permission to post these emails to friends or other groups, boards, etc - unless there is a Copyright notice above which says differently.

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.” Edited May 28, 2022 by HAZARD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that no one reports it. https://americangunfacts.com/ Quote 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
