Ten Reasons We Need Revival — E.A. Johnston

The Urgent Need for Revival

My message today friends is on the subject of revival. I've never seen a time when our nation Needs revival more than now. Our young people today or godless in our society spins out of control and moral chaos.

Revival When the Church's Spiritual Life Is Low

Revival is always needed when the spiritual life of the church is at a low ebb. And its members are more concerned about sports and entertainment than souls perishing into a burning hell. The psalmist declares the need in Psalm 85 6 Wilt thou not revive us again.

Restoring God's Prominence in the Sanctuary

That thy people may rejoice in thee. We need revival friends. We need God to send a heaven-sent revival To reestablish his prominence and Preeminence in our sanctuaries once again. I want a list for us today.

The Church's Lost Voice and Pastoral Drift

Ten reasons Why we need revival. Number one We need revival when the church has lost her voice of authority and influence upon society. Number two We need revival when pastors have become teachers instead of preachers.

Moral Decline, Desensitization, and Indifference

Number three We need revival when our communities grow more wicked every day and our churches are powerless against it. Number four we need revival when believers have become desensitized to sin and tolerate sin in their daily living.

Apathy Toward the Lost and Compromise in the Church

Number five We need revival when Christians have fallen into apathy toward the lost in their community and indifference towards the spread of the gospel around the world. Number six We need revival when our churches have grieved away the presence of God through compromise and conformity.

Low Views of God and Sin

Number seven We need revival when the church maintains a low view of God and a low view of sin. Number eight We need revival When the church relies more on money and manpower to get the job done rather than faith and prayer.

Holiness, Prayerlessness, and Unbelief

Number nine We need revival when there is an absence of holiness in our personal lives. And lastly number ten We need revival when we have fallen into prayerlessness and unbelief. Great God Grant us revival in our day.

I pray in the strong name of Christ Jesus.
