The Church Revived — Brian Long

The Vision of Zechariah 4 and a Church Revived

Praise the Lord, this has been such a blessing already. We're going to turn to Zechariah chapter 4, the prophet Zechariah chapter 4. And maybe we could all just stand for a moment. We've been sitting a while, let's stand and read this passage together.

Zechariah chapter 4, you follow along as I read. We'll begin in verse 1. Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who has wakened out of his sleep. And he said to me, What do you see?

So I said, I'm looking and there's a lampstand of solid gold with the bowl on top of it. And on the stand, seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.

So I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my Lord? Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my Lord.

So he answered and said to me, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, you shall become a plain.

And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace, grace to it. Let's pray. Father, we thank You for Your living Word. Your Word is the sword of the Spirit. We ask You to pierce and penetrate our hearts.

We ask You, Lord God, to speak to us, Father. You're already here. You're already speaking to us. You're already moving in our midst, Lord. And we thank You for it with all of our hearts. We just ask You to continue and to fulfill Your purpose, Lord, and Your promises this morning to us.

In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. We can be seated. Zachariah the prophet is awakened by an angel, an angel of the Lord. He's awakened and then he's given this vision. He describes the vision. And I want you to get this vision in your mind this morning, because in this vision, I also see something.

The first time I read this, that the Lord opened my eyes to it, He asked me the same question, just in my spirit. The Holy Spirit said, Brian, what do you see? And my answer was, I see a church. I see a church.

Later on, as I continue to dig into this passage, I now say, not only do I see a church, I see revival. I see revival. I see a church revived. And I see a church revived in our day. Think about this vision, first of all.

Get it in your mind. What did he see? He said, I saw a golden lampstand. He says there in verse 2, what do you see? So I said, I'm looking and there is a lampstand of solid gold. There's a golden lampstand.

You can picture this something maybe like in America, we would see at a wedding. I think maybe it's the same here, I don't know. But it's a lampstand and you see all the candlesticks, you know, on the lampstand.

I see a golden lampstand, he said. And above the lampstand was this bowl, a big, large bowl. And on either side of the bowl, you have an olive tree, two olive trees. One on each side of the bowl. From the olive tree are olive branches.

And from those olive branches are coming olive oil. Oil that is released when the olives are crushed. And that olive oil goes through a pipe on either side and it begins to fill up the bowl. As the bowl fills up with oil, golden oil, he saw.

The bowl fills up with oil and from that bowl are seven golden pipes that come down from the bowl. Each of those seven golden pipes feed a flame on that candlestick. Have you got the vision? The candlestick full of seven torches being on fire.

And on fire because they're being fueled by the golden oil. What do you see, Zechariah? He told him what he saw. What do you see, Brother Brian? I see revival. I see revival and I want you, and maybe I've shared sometimes with people, they say, no, no, no, you're misinterpreting the Scripture.

You're taking it out of context. I ask you, plead with you humbly to just follow me and see if you do not see the same thing from the Word of God. And if the Spirit of God is not revealing to you the same thing.

I see revival. Why do you say that? Because that golden lampstand, brothers and sisters, it is a mystery what that is, but Jesus Christ Himself unveiled the mystery. Did He not? Revelation 1, if you're not familiar with it, I'll read it to you quickly.

Revelation 1, you remember when John the Apostle was on the island of Patmos? And he says, I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day and I heard a voice that spoke behind me. I heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet.

That voice was the voice of the Lord Jesus Himself. He saw the Lord Jesus. Do you remember this? When He said, I saw Him, He was one like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe that reached down to His feet, gird about the paps with a golden girdle.

He said, His head and His hair were white like wool, as white as snow. We're talking about the purity and holiness and glory of Jesus. His eyes were like flames of fire. His face shone brighter than the sun.

But He says in that vision of the Lord Jesus, He says He was standing in the midst of seven golden lampstands. And after Jesus spoke to him, you remember John fell on his face as a dead man, took his breath away when he saw Christ.

And Jesus touched him and said, don't be afraid, John. And then He begins to speak to John. And at the end of Revelation 1, He unveils the mystery of these seven stars and seven lampstands. Jesus says, the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, that is the elders or ministers, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

The Church as One Body and a Burning Lampstand

So we see a lampstand in Zechariah 4. What is that lampstand? The church of the Lord Jesus Christ made up of born-again believers who are burning, who are on fire, who are set ablaze. And you'll notice in that church, the church that Jesus is building today under the new covenant, He is taking these little torches that are born again and putting them together as one.

You don't see one candlestick way over yonder and one over here and two over there. Jesus is building His church and He's all about unity. He's all about oneness in the body of Christ. And those candlesticks are connected together.

So don't think that it's just about you being revived. But don't think you can stay revived and stay a lone ranger. You need the body of Christ. I need the body of Christ. And brothers and sisters, you are blessed here.

You don't see this everywhere. You are blessed to have one another. You are blessed to have godly elders and godly leaders who are passionate for Jesus Christ. As the brother said earlier, don't take it for granted.

Thank God for it. Stay together. And always when we come together as one, once in a while tension will arise. Disagreements will arise. But if you are born again and you have the Spirit of God and your eyes are on Christ, He will bring us through that together and He will keep us together as one.

What do you see? I see the church of Jesus Christ. And I see a church on fire. Every one of those candlesticks was on fire. What is our purpose, brothers and sisters? Our purpose is to shine in this world.

Did not Jesus say? Jesus first of all said, I am the light of the world. Later He says, as long as I'm in the world, I am the light of the world. In Matthew 5, He now says, you are the light of the world.

A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it gives light to all that are in the house. We are called by God to be these flaming torches, if you will.

Shining with the light of Christ. Burning with the love of God. You see, the fire is burning because the Spirit of God is in our hearts. That fire is representing all the fruit of the Spirit, which should be perpetually burning through us and shining through us, illuminating through us all the time.

What is it? The love of God. The joy of the Lord. The peace that surpasses all understanding. Patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, holiness, purity. We are to have burning hearts.

Hearts on fire with this burning passion for the glory of God that should continually burn brighter and brighter every day. Burning passion of love and devotion to Jesus Christ that should burn brighter and brighter by the day.

Fiery ones. A church on fire is a revived church, and she is to be on fire all the time. But she was on fire. Is this okay? Feels like it keeps dropping. She's on fire because the oil is flowing through the pipes, giving fuel, fuel to that flame.

I love what Amy Carmichael said when she wrote that poem, Make Me Thy Fuel, O Flame of God. She said, Give me the love that leads the way, the faith that nothing can dismay, the hope no disappointments tire, the passion that will burn like fire.

Let me not sink to be a clod. Make me thy fuel, O flame of God. Make me thy fuel, O flame of God. Where does the fire of God fall? The fire of God falls on a living sacrifice, brothers and sisters. He has to have a sacrifice upon which His fire can fall.

And we are called to be living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. He's called us to that. But that fire will not burn unless the oil is flowing. The oil is what in Scripture? A type of the Holy Ghost.

A type of the Holy Spirit. But that oil is flowing only as the bowl is filling. And what is that bowl? I believe Jesus also unveiled that mystery. Revelation chapter 5. Listen to what He says in verse 8.

Revelation 5, 8. Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

That golden bowl full of incense represents the prayers of the saints. You want to know when the oil flows? When the people pray. When God's people pray, the oil of the Holy Spirit begins to flow. And the Spirit of God will begin to move in our hearts and move in our midst.

Persevering Prayer and the Oil of the Spirit

But it's when God's people pray and keep on praying. Oh, it's incredibly encouraging to me to hear what happened last night. After the meeting, when most of the time people are tired and they want to go home and have a cup of coffee and visit and go to bed.

After the meeting, you have a band who come together, a band of brothers who come together and begin to pray and pray for two hours. This is the kind of prayer that God calls for in revival. The kind of prayer that you ask and you keep on asking.

You seek and you keep on seeking. You knock and you keep on knocking. And there's something about brothers and sisters learning to pray through. We don't always pray through in five minutes. Ten minutes.

Not even sometimes one day. Sometimes when we're facing a mountain, and He talks about that mountain. Who are you, O great mountain? He says in verse 7. A lot of times we'll face this mountain, this obstacle that stands in the way, and many times it doesn't move the first time you pray, the second time you pray.

What is God teaching us? He's teaching us that we ought to always pray and not faint. Keep on persevering in prayer. Like the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15. She had a demon-possessed daughter. She came to Jesus about that concern with her daughter.

And Jesus tested her faith. The disciples tried to send her away. She would not go away. Like the woman with the issue of blood, she kept pressing in, pushing through. Jesus said, I'm not sent, but for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

It's not right to take the children's bread and give it to dogs. And I don't think He was calling her a Gentile dog. He was proving something to these other disciples that she has something that you don't have.

She has tenacity. She has faith. Faith, real faith perseveres in prayer. Real faith will lay hold of God and will not let go until He blesses, until they get an answer. And she would not go. Lord, it's true.

But even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the Master's table. Lord, help me, she says. And she won't go. And finally, Jesus, I believe with a smile, with delight in His heart, because like the brother said, nothing pleases God like faith.

Nothing disappoints Him and grieves Him more than unbelief. With a smile, with a delight in His heart, He said, oh woman, great is your faith. Let it be unto you even as you have asked. She prayed through.

We've got to learn to pray through. As we pray, that oil rises in the bowl. And we pray and we persevere in prayer until we pray through. One beautiful illustration of this, a friend of mine, Brother Gerard de Toy, who is from South Africa also, told me this story.

He said there was a pastor over there. I think he belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church, but he got very ill. They called him the Reverend Widdendal. He became very ill and he got so sick he went into a coma.

And the Lord later healed him and he wrote his life story and everything that happened to him. But he said, while in my coma, he said oftentimes suddenly I would be awakened just in my spirit and somehow I would know people were praying.

And at times he had a vision of the actual people who were praying for him. He said one time, it was at a large Dutch Reformed pastors conference. And he said, I forget how many hundreds of pastors who were gathered for this conference.

And the leader stood and said, I believe that the Lord has put on my heart we should stop right now and pray for the Reverend Widdendal. He said they all began to pray. He said I saw it in my spirit. And he said as they began to pray, I saw this little room.

And it was an enclosed room. And in the bottom of the floor of the room was about six inches of leaves. He said as the pastors would pray, the leaves began to stir. The more fervently they prayed, the more violently the leaves stirred.

As they continued to persevere in prayer, the leaves would bounce off the ceiling of that room. And he said somehow I was made aware God wants to heal me and open my eyes. And I was crying out in my spirit, men, will you please pray through to God?

He said about that time the leader said amen. And everybody sat down. And the leaves died down, settled. And I stayed in my coma. Sometime after that, a young servant girl who lived in their home named Sophie, she was as their own daughter.

He had led her to Christ a few years previous to that. This little girl, young girl, teenage girl, almost completely illiterate, had a burden one morning to pray. And I'm sure she was praying for Him every day.

But she came in early one morning. He said in my spirit I saw her. She walked into the kitchen. She put a blanket over her head. And she got on her knees and began to cry out for God to touch me. I saw it.

He said suddenly I saw the room that was the same room I saw before. Six inches of leaves on the floor. As Sophie began to pray, the leaves began to stir. Sophie prayed more fervently and they stirred even more.

Sophie kept praying until the leaves began to bounce off the ceiling. And I cried out, oh Sophie, oh Sophie, you won't be able to do it. But Sophie kept praying. She kept persevering in prayer. And suddenly again I was made aware God wants to open my eyes.

God wants to heal me. And I began to cry out in my spirit, oh Sophie, will you pray through to God? And Sophie travailed in prayer. And wouldn't stop praying. It wouldn't stop asking. It wouldn't stop seeking.

It wouldn't stop knocking. And those leaves, he said, were bouncing off the ceiling of that room when suddenly the ceiling came off, the leaves went out, and he said I opened my eyes. He was healed. But it was one young girl when a few hundred pastors couldn't do it.

God raised up a young girl who knew how to pray, who knew how to persevere in prayer, who got a word, a promise from the Lord, and wouldn't let go until she received the blessing. You pray through to God.

Revival Begins With Prayer

Brothers and sisters, any time God sends a great awakening, any time He sent a true spiritual revival, every single one of those revivals, if you trace it back, you can always trace it back to a people of God who are on their knees crying out to God in prayer.

You don't have revival without prayer. Why am I so encouraged here? Because I see a people of prayer. I see a people who are praying. But this is a call to keep on praying. This is a call to keep on persevering.

Maybe some of you are not aware of the Hebrides revival that God sent in 1949. Do you know how it all began? 1949, there were two sisters, older women. One was 84 and one was 82 years old. Peggy and Christine Smith.

Peggy was completely blind. Christine was bent over almost in half due to arthritis. They could hardly ever get out of the house. It was difficult for them to get to any meeting. But those women knew how to pray.

And they shut themselves in their little cottage because God had put on their heart He wants to send revival again. And they began to pray and to pray and to pray. And they came across, one of them came across this Scripture in Isaiah 44 .3 where God promises, I will pour water on him that is thirsty.

Floods upon the dry ground. I will pour My Spirit upon your offspring. Your children in essence. And Peggy laid hold of that promise and she said to her sister, God has shown me that daddy's church will be full with young people once again.

Now at that time it was dead. There was hardly anybody coming to the meeting house. There was hardly anybody coming to worship at the church. The whole spiritual atmosphere and climate of that entire island was dead and cold.

And one of the things that moved them to pray was this consideration that what must the end be should there be no revival? Brothers and sisters, think of that. What must the end be for a multitude in Australia should there be no revival?

You know what the end is? Judgment. Judgment and a real eternal hell. We need revival. We need spiritual awakening. They laid hold of God in prayer. God sent an evangelist by the name of Duncan Campbell.

He was scheduled to preach in that area for two weeks. He ended up staying two years. Why? Revival was breaking out. Those sisters weren't the only ones praying. There were others praying in a barn. One night, Duncan Campbell shares a story how one of the elders opened up his house at night much like happened last night.

After a meeting, one of the elders opened his house for a prayer meeting. People gathered. He said the house was full. They prayed, and they prayed, and they prayed until midnight. He said not much happened.

Duncan Campbell felt in his heart that the local blacksmith who was there named John. John, he said, I feel the Lord wants you to stand and pray. John stood up, had his cap in his hand. He took it off and held it down and he says, as he lifted one hand, Lord, You have promised to pour water upon him that is thirsty, and it doesn't seem like You're doing it.

Lord, I don't know about all the others who are gathered here tonight. I don't even know about the pastors and the elders, but if there's one thing I know, my own heart is thirsty for You, and You are a covenant-keeping God who cannot lie.

Lord, send Your Spirit, he prayed. Immediately, the house began to shake. It shook and it shook, and the dishes in the cupboard began to rattle. One man standing next to Duncan Campbell said, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Campbell, an earthquake.

But Duncan Campbell reminded him of the Scripture in Acts 4, and the place where they had gathered when they had prayed was shaken. And it wasn't God just physically shaking the house, although He did do that.

God began to sweep through the islands. Young people would run out of dance halls. Running, the only place they thought they might find help was at the church, so they would run to the churches. Duncan Campbell said he got to one church and it was full of young people.

Do you remember what Peggy saw in her vision? Daddy's church will once again be full of the youth. Crying out to God, he had to push people out of the way to make his way to the pulpit. When he got to the pulpit, there was a young lady lying on the platform crying out, Is there mercy for me?

Is there mercy for me? Revival. One young teenage girl, Mary Morrison, was saved during that revival, and I had the privilege of getting to know her and meet her later in life when she was in her 80s.

She's in heaven today. Her husband is in heaven today. But when Mary would talk about the revival, I would just sit at her feet and drink it in. Tell me what God did. She said, Brian... I don't have a Scottish accent, so I better not try, but maybe Jim should come.

She would say, Brian, she said it was a whole community at prayer. She said it seemed as if God were everywhere. She said at first she wanted nothing to do with the revival. She was having fun dancing.

She was having fun living in her life of sin. And she resisted many, many days, but she said the day came when she was walking down the path and she was overwhelmed with this sense that God is holy and this is His earth, and I'm walking on holy ground.

So much conviction came over her, she took off her shoes. She kept walking, but she said, that doesn't do any good. God, this is your earth. So she runs into the... She was near the beach. She ran into the water.

She said, oh God, this doesn't do any good. This is your ocean. I'm not worthy to stand in your ocean. She runs to the meeting house, where again, Duncan Campbell would be there that evening preaching.

Duncan Campbell had preached so much, he had lost his voice. He stood in the pulpit and he whispered. As he stood in the pulpit, he whispered to the people and said, tonight, my text comes from John 11, verse 28.

Mary, the master has come and he calleth for thee. Her name was Mary. Morrison. That's all it took. She ran to the Lord and she was born again. God came in revival, but he came when God's people prayed and they kept praying.

Repentance and Clean Pipes for the Holy Spirit

As we pray, the bowl fills with oil. The oil begins to flow so the torches can burn. But you know what else I see here, brothers and sisters? That golden oil flowed through pipes that were clean. I asked the Lord honestly, the first time he opened my eyes to this.

Lord, if I'm honest with you, I'm not truly living in the fullness of your spirit. I had been often losing my temper. Often impatient. Often defeated in so many areas. Lord, why is this? And you know what the Lord said to me?

Clogged pipes. Clogged pipes. What clogs the pipe, brothers and sisters? Sin. God hates sin. And the oil is the Holy Spirit. The Scripture says in Ephesians 4, chapter 4, verse 30, and grieve not the Holy Spirit.

First Thessalonians 5 .19, quench not the Spirit. That is, do not put out the Spirit's fire. There's one thing that does that every time. Sin. Pride. Unbelief. Lust. Anger. Lying, exaggerating. Here is one seeking honor.

One always so concerned about my reputation. That has to die. That has to be repented of. There's one that we are to be concerned about, His glory and honor. He is Jesus. That's all. Clogged pipes. Which means not only sinners outside need to do some repenting, we need to be repenting every day.

Every day. The closer you get to God, the more He will reveal to you in areas that are unlike Him, that do grieve Him. Repenting every day. The oil flows through clean pipes. And the pipes have to be unclogged if you want to know the power of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Surrendering All to Christ

And not just repenting of sin, but surrendering our hearts. I see this in those pipes. There are pipes like this where you can barely even see any light through it. They're so small. To that degree, the oil will flow.

I see pipes like this, culverts, that you can walk through. To those also, the oil will flow. To the degree that you are surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ, to that degree, we will know the fullness of His Spirit, which is a call to surrender all.

What is that great commandment? You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, all your strength. Jesus said, except a man forsake all that he hath. He cannot be My disciple.

That means everything we have. We have within... Lord, it's Yours. Show me what You would have me to do with it. It's Yours. All that I am. Every fiber of my being. Every key to my heart. F .B. Meyer told about the time when he was at a Keswick convention, and he watched other men like Hudson Taylor and C .T. Studd, and he saw God all over those men.

And he himself was scheduled to preach at that convention, but he got honest one night, and he said to them, Brothers, you have something I don't have. C .T., you have something I don't have. What is wrong with me?

And C .T. Studd said, You can have the same thing, brother. God requires us to surrender all. And F .B. Meyer went on a walk under that starry night sky, and he began to pray. And he had an encounter with Jesus.

And he said it was as if the Lord Jesus came to him and held out His hand and said, F .B., all the keys to your heart. He said, I took out a set of keys and I put them in the Lord's hand. And the Lord said to me, Are they all there?

He said, Lord, all but one. And the Lord Jesus took the keys and put them back into F .B. Meyer's hand and turned to walk away. Lord, Lord, don't walk away. And Jesus turned around and He said, You either trust Me with all or you do not trust Me at all.

Lord, He said, there's one key. I can't seem to surrender it. I think He later revealed it was His reputation. There's one key. I can't seem to overcome it. Lord, would you reach in and take it so that you may have all of Me?

And He said the Lord came to him, reached in and took that final key, and I was never the same again. Will you surrender all, brothers and sisters? All that you have, all that you are for the glory of Jesus Christ.

That's what He calls for. And when you do, you will see the oil flow and the fire burn and mountains move. When God has a surrendered people like that, He can lead us to say what He said here in verse 7.

Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, you shall become a plain. There's authority. There is victory. There's the overcoming life that comes from the power of the Holy Spirit to those who are surrendered and have repented before God who believe Him.

And mountains will fall before us. Mountains will move and be dissolved. I was thinking as we were singing, oh Lord, the power of God in a church, a praying church, in a church like this who is in one accord and who is praising God and who is learning to pray and keeps on praying.

Brothers and sisters, the gates of hell will not prevail against such a church. And we're not on defense. We're on offense. Such a church can march into places of darkness and bring down strongholds. Who are you, O great mountain?

Who are you, O uncircumcised Philistine that has come to defy the armies of the living God? That young man David said. How did he say it? How did he bring him down? Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, God says.

But his heart was surrendered. His heart was clean. He wasn't playing games with God. To such a people, grace will abound. That's the final thing I would have you to notice. Grace will abound. He says in verse 7, Who are you, O great mountain?

Grace Abounding for Every Mountain

Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain, and he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace. Grace to it. This is grace abounding. The Bible says where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.

The Bible says that God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. It's all grace. It's the grace of God.

Why are you and I here today and not in a prison somewhere? Not in a grave somewhere? Grace! Amazing grace! Why am I here, saved and born again? And maybe some of my dearest friends or closest friends that I grew up with are lost and in sin.

Grace! It's abounding grace. And it's grace not only that saves a wretch like me and saved a wretch like me, but grace that will give us power to overcome. Overcome all sin. And there's more than enough grace.

Whatever mountain stands in your way, and you know what it is, God knows what it is, He's revealed it to you, you know what that obstacle is, you know what that mountain is, can I tell you, there is an ocean of God's grace that is more sufficient, ready to be unleashed upon you that you may overcome in Christ Jesus.

Charles Spurgeon talked about it like this. He talked about the little tiny fish being so thirsty, who was troubled about maybe drinking the river dry. But he said that that great river of time said to him, drink away little fish, my stream is sufficient for you.

Or how about the little mouse in the granaries of Egypt after seven years of plenty? He feared lest he should die of hunger. But Joseph says to him, cheer up little mouse, my granaries are sufficient for you.

Spurgeon said again, I imagine a man on the mountain saying to himself, I fear I shall exhaust all the oxygen in the atmosphere. But the earth cries, breathe away little man, and fill your lungs, my atmosphere is sufficient for you.

And we come before a good, good, almighty, infinite, everlasting Father God. And He would say to you and me this morning, my grace is sufficient for you. Whatever the mountain, my grace is sufficient for you.

Receive away, believe away, obey, trust Him, my grace is sufficient for you. Amen. Let's pray. Father in heaven, I pray You would plant this vision in our hearts and minds. I pray You would exhort and encourage the saints with what they've heard, what we've all heard.

I pray these truths from Your Word would pierce and penetrate our hearts. I pray, Lord God, You'd bring us to that place of absolute surrender. All the keys to our heart, Lord. Someone here today who has yet to surrender all, Lord, that You're calling, would You give them the grace to open their hands, open their heart, to believe, to surrender all to You.

All to You, Lord. I pray for those of us who have some repenting to do. The pipes are clogged. The sin is there. And like our brother said earlier, like a leprosy, we are dying away. Today, let it stop.

Today, let it stop today, Lord. Bring each and every one of us to godly sorrow and true repentance and clean us up with the blood of the Lamb, the blood of Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord. Fill us with Your Spirit.

Let the oil flow again and let our hearts burn with the perpetual fire day and night, day and night, day and night. That we may, Lord, stay together in one accord and that You may use us burning hearts to set fires other places as well, everywhere You send us.
