Revival, the Will of God — Wesley Duewel

This is my 56th year with OMS International went out to India as a young man and had 25 years serving the Lord in and for India and They tied me down made me a vice president. And then they made me a president and when I got young enough I could turn that work over to other people and now I am giving myself to the Ministry of Writing I feel like it's a third period in my life actually and Becoming more fruitful all the time and also in holding prayer retreats pastors conferences and things like that in the USA nearby places and farther places so I ask your prayer and indulgence, I'm getting older all the time my wife tells me that and That means that I forget names very quickly.

So forgive me if I don't if I have to look at your name tag carefully before I even though I have met you before and I also do not hear as well as I once did so I May have to ask you to repeat occasionally.

Now may the Lord bless us. So we just bow our heads for one more moment dear Jesus. You are the Lord of the church. You are the Lord of the harvest. You're the Lord of revival. You are the Lord of our lives.

Oh we have given ourselves to you, but we want to give ourselves to you again and We pray that you would be with us and that you would guide an anoint in this session. Be our teacher we ask in your holy name.

Revival Is the Will of God

Amen. Revival is the will of God. I Want you to be very very convinced of that. When I wrote my first book touch the world through prayer. The Lord in his goodness has allowed that to be in 34 different languages or National editions around the world to my amazement.

But in that I had a section of one of the chapters where I spoke about always prayers. There are many prayers which we need God's guidance to know the will of God. Healing we do not always know the will of God until we seek his guidance.

Paul had to be guided in that regard but There are some things that are always God's will. It's not God's will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The salvation of a soul May be one of the most difficult kinds of prayer answers to obtain.

But it is always the will of God. Charles Finney I mean George Muller Who is the great example of faith and obedience in the regard to finance and other things was a great soul winner also? George Muller tells us toward the close of his life but in his journals He has a record of 50 ,000 and more than 50 ,000 prayers that were answered the day.

He asked them. That is an amazing record. But when he prayed for the salvation of his friends Shortly after his conversion. He began to pray every day for five of his young friends. And he prayed. For I believe it was seven years before the first one was saved and after 15 years two more were saved and after 35 years of praying number four was saved and Shortly before his death.

He said I Have one more. I have been praying for him for 52 years. And he's not saved yet, but he will be. If I don't live to see it, he will be saved. In two weeks after his death number five came to the Lord.

Where the human will is involved. It's difficult it takes time. Give God time to answer your prayers. Hold on and don't give up. So salvation is always the will of God. Revival is always the will of God.

My subject this morning is that revival is the will of God. God is that kind of a God? He is a reviving God. You cannot produce revival. You can prepare the way of the Lord for revival. Praise God. And we'll be talking about that some these days, but You cannot control revival.

You cannot manipulate revival. You cannot start revival. You can only obey God and live for God. But God is a God of revival and when you're praying for revival, you always know you're praying in the will of God.

God wants to revive his people. God wants to revive his church. I Pray God that he will revive and said no an awakening in your nation and mine. We need revival. I do not need to take time to convince you that we need revival.

God knows far more than we how desperately we need revival, but revival is the will of God. I Want you to get courage in your prayer. I want you to be strong in faith giving glory to God. I want you to pray with hope that you will see revival.

My last book revival fire is primarily a history of revival. It's not so much teaching revival. But telling what God has done the purpose is to make people hungry for God to do that again in our days.

To Realize that God can do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. To help us to realize that revival is the work of God. So I'm praying that God will use that to and multiply prayer for revival to deepen hunger for revival to strengthen expectancy and faith for revival because I believe God's willing to send revival again and This is God's day and the age of the church is an age of revival.

This is a dispensation of revival till Jesus comes again. We can expect God to fulfill his covenant. And to fulfill his promises. God is a God of revival and revival is the will of God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Praise God for that Psalm 85 6. Will you not revive us again? That your people may rejoice in you. Wherever revival comes there is rejoicing. When revival comes God's people are blessed. When revival comes new life new refreshing.

Things which I like to call the autographs of God. That only God could do. The man cannot produced and men would not expect but God in his own sovereign way. Works there is always rejoicing when God comes in revival.

And though in the Old Testament times we had many occasions which we can legitimately call revival. They're often quite different from some of the revivals which we speak of in the age of the church. But they were manifestations of God's awesome holy presence and power.

They were visitations of God. They were outpourings and workings of his Holy Spirit. Revivals are so varied. They're so different. You cannot Pattern revivals. God works in his own holy way. But revival is God's will and the psalmist was led to pray.

Will you not? Revive us again. You may have experienced revival in gracious ways. I Hope you can testify personally to having been revived by the Holy Spirit. But you can pray that prayer. Will you not revive us again?

I don't care if you have had an outpouring of the Spirit in your local church. I hope you had. And you look back and you like to tell what God did during those days. But you can have revival again. Will you not revive us again as you study Old Testament revivals?

You see that there were some revivals that came fairly soon after a previous revival. Asa's revival was a mighty work of God, but Jehoshaphat's revival was even greater. And Revival can come at different times.

It can come when we're in desperately in need of it like the revival Great Awakening days of Wesley Whitfield. What hopeless situation who would ever believe that revival could come in at a time like that?

But God sent revival and it's never too late for God. God can send revival in our day today. But that it may be that was a long time since you've had a mighty movement of revival. It's too long now. Oh, we've had many local revivals.

We've had somewhat regional revivals here and there. But a sweeping revival that were the fire is leaked from country to country. It's about 90 years Since God did something like that. It's time for God to work again.

Will you not revive us again. Oh Lord, I thought your people may rejoice in you. Psalm 80 17 and 19. Let your right hand rest upon the man at your right hand. The son of man that you have raised up for yourself.

Revive us and we will call upon your name. Restore us. Oh Lord Almighty and make your face shine upon us. God has to place his hand upon us. When he chooses to use someone as his instrument in revival blessing He places his hand upon that one and that person is sovereignly used by God.

And in passing let me say that if God sends a mighty revival this year We do not know where it will begin or who God will use. It might be someone in this room would be used of God to light the fire. That was sent off a chain of revival blessing and work.

Because I believe that the greatest revival is yet to come. Let your right let your hand Rest upon the man of your right hand the son of man. You have raised up for yourself. Revive us and we will call upon your name now.

Prayer as Preparation for Revival

I'll speak later about the role of prayer in preparing the way of Lord the Lord for revival. But it not only prepares the way of the Lord. It leads to mighty praying when revival comes there are people pray that never prayed before.

When revival comes the church prays as it never prayed before. When revival comes people learn a lot in Christ school of prayer praise God a school by the way that you will never graduate from Habakkuk 3 2.

Lord. I've heard of your fame. Praise God you and I have heard of revived. I like to go over those revival stories again and again to rekindle my faith. And my zeal. God has done such great things in the past.

Lord, I have heard of your fame. I Stand in all of your deeds. Oh, Lord. When God comes in revival power, his awesome presence is revealed. It's always a new revelation of God. It's a new visitation of God on a people.

Among his people it begins, of course with the house of God. But it doesn't end there in the more profound of revival. The more widespread it begins to spread in. The awesome presence of God can grip the unsaved in times of great waves of revival power.

Sinners have been gripped by the awesome power of God. People that did not come inside the church building have been gripped by the power of God. The awesome presence of God. Brother Duncan Campbell told me how I.

Incidentally, I hope to be at bar of us worth the revival began. I hope to be there in a couple of weeks time, but God woke up people. God got people out of bed in the middle of the night. To come to the police station no meeting announced but the awesome presence of God gripping people.

They're pulled. They're drawn the awesome presence of God. When the awesome presence of God came to lower and go at Gerson in. In the Evan Roberts revival of the Welsh revival of 1904 -5 there was one night When the people were ripped two o 'clock in the morning and They started for the church.

No meeting announced. But the people were gripped. Brought the awesome presence of God. I have heard of your fame and I stand in all of your deeds. Oh Lord, I was in the Evans home. Having tea with them and they told me.

When revival came a coal miner returning from his shift in the mines. Walking down the street with his lunch kit in his hand. So gripped by the awesome presence of God. He had to get home to pray. And he started a little faster and he started a little faster and he got to walking faster and he finally couldn't walk fast.

He started running down the street. He was gripped by the awesome power of God. He got and he got by their house. He couldn't make it any further. He just ran pushed the door open and his lunch Kit slid across the floor and he went across the floor on his hands and knees beginning calling on God for mercy.

He couldn't wait till he got to his own house the awesome awesome power of God. That doesn't happen all the time. No, I'm not saying that but I'm saying God can make his awesome presence known. And Habakkuk He knew something of the all of God the reverence of God and he said I Stand in all of your deeds.

Oh Lord Renew them in our day in our time make them known. May the Lord grant you and me the privilege of Seeing some revelations of God beyond anything we have ever known. They'll not be the same as at other times in places, but may God be pleased to give us a visitation of his divine holy presence.

That will change us. Change the church and change society. Isaiah 57 14 and 15. Build up build up. Prepare the road. Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people. For this is what the high and lofty one says.

He who lives forever. Whose name is holy I? Live in a high and holy place. But also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit to revive the spirit of the lowly and To revive the heart of the contrite praise God.

The Nature and Reach of Revival

What is revival? Who can define revival. Many attempts are made and they have a lot in common. But God's revival can begin with the individual. If no one else experiences revival you can have revival.

If you meet God's conditions. Revival can be family. God has revived families again and again. When widespread revival comes many families are revived. Many of them have a family almost you might say visitation of God in the midst of a general visitation of God.

They tell us that in The 58 59 revival in the States, but then leaked across the ocean went from place to place perhaps one of the first really international revivals families of deaf and dumb people.

Gripped by the Spirit of God the awesome presence of God. Whole family saved around the dining room table. Without a preacher being present. There's a family revival. Family revival praise God we can have family revivals.

Many people during revival times have been gripped in their homes in the time of Wesley Sinner so gripped by God. He was knocked off his chair on the floor in his own home. No preacher present. God can work in our homes.

There's no place too difficult for God. Let's ask God to work in his own sovereign way. Build up build up, but you see there's something for us to do. We can't bring revival. We can't earn revival, but we can prepare the way of the Lord.

Build up build up. Prepare the road. Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people. Oh the obstacles in homes and the obstacles in churches and the obstacles in communities. That are in the way of the Lord.

But praise God any believer can begin removing obstacles by prayer and obedience to God and When the obstacles are removed revive revival may begin most anyplace. How far it will spread I do not know.

Maybe I'll touch a little on that later. There's something missed. There's much mystery about revival just as there is much mystery about prayer. You can't earn revival but you can't obey God and you must obey God and God uses people that obey him and God gives his Holy Spirit to those who obey him.

And when Evan Roberts was used of God's son say he never did preach a sermon. May walk up and down the aisles and say obey God obey the Lord obey God and there's something very very strategic in holy obedience and God uses those who obey him and you will never know what he will do through you.

Until you begin to listen to his voice and learn to experience his touch in his holy guidance one of the many works of the Holy Spirit. The guidance of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of the Spirit is so profound during times of revival.

And it takes the obedience of many people to help revival spread in ulcer. A butcher Had to obey God, but when he obeyed God It reached thousands of people. Never would he have dreamed that he would be the instrument of God for something like that.

But when we obey God we help prepare the way of the Lord. Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people for this is what the high and lofty one who says He who lives forever. Whose name is holy. Oh For a revelation of the holiness of God.

How our generation needs a revelation of the holiness of God? What Convicts sin people have sinned like a revelation of the holiness of God perhaps one reason. Why the Welsh revival took off so rapidly?

There's been so much good sound preaching on God and the holiness of God and biblical doctrines among the Welsh people for years but it took God to light the fire, but when there is a preparation when people understand who God is.

Alas your generation in mind have lost the understanding of the holiness of God of a reverence of God. But we need God somehow to reveal himself again and what it will take I do not know. But God knows and he can do it.

So the high and holy one whose name is holy I live says God in a high sign to. He lives in a high and holy place. The seraphim and the cherubim bow before him. Holy. Holy. Holy Lord God Almighty. I live in that holy place.

I Live. I must live in a holy place but also Praise God for the also but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit. I'll live with him. Praise God. I Live with a contrite holy person. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God.

And he will lift you up. I live with that person to do what? To revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite praise God. Praise God. Oh, there's so many places that prove to us that revival is the will of God.

Isaiah 41 18. I Will make rivers flow on barren heights. Who the barren places where we need the waters to flow. I Will make rivers flow on the barren heights and springs within the valleys. I will turn the deserts into pools of water and parched ground into springs.

In this beautiful symbolism of the Old Testament he is giving us a further picture of refreshing and the outpouring of the streams of blessing the Holy Spirit in both Old Testament and New Testament is likened to water an Abundance of water streams that flow.

I will make rivers flow even on the barren heights and Springs within the valleys. I will turn the deserts into pools of water. That's abundance of water. Pools in the desert praise God. That doesn't happen.

Naturally that happens supernaturally and then Isaiah 44 verses 2 3. Isaiah the great prophet of revival. Praise God. Thank God for Isaiah. Thank God for the book of Isaiah. He could speak with the authority of God.

This is what the Lord says. I Will pour water on the thirsty land. And streams on the dry ground. I will pour out my spirit. Yes, it's the water of the Spirit he's talking about. Back there in Isaiah's day.

I will pour water. We love that gospel song. I will pour water on him. Who is thirsty? I will pour streams upon the dry ground. Open your heart. For the gift I am bringing. While you are seeking me. While you are seeking me, I will be found.

That's the God of revival. That's the God of revival. The will of God is revival because God is a God of revival. This is his general plan in the universe. This is his spiritual plan for the church. Believe it.

Don't hesitate to seek revival. God is a God of revival. I. This is what the Lord says. I will pour water on the thirsty land and Streams on the dry ground. I will pour out my spirit praise God. Oh Can you?

Feel that holy satisfaction in the heart of God. I will pour out my spirit. What does it take to awaken the church? What does it take to help us to believe the Word of God? What does it take for us to realize the heartbeat of God?

The Hope of Revival in a Spirit-Empowered Church

As I was flying on the plane last night coming here I Said over and over Oh Lord help me to give you a heartbeat. Help me to Help us realize your heartbeat. The heart of God the God of revival. The Almighty God who longs to pour out his blessing upon his church.

Who longs to see his church revived? Who longs to see his church empowered by the Holy Spirit as our brother was. Getting to this morning. Praise God. He is a God of holy power. Spirit power. Almighty power, but power for you and me.

Amazing grace. Why would God want to clothe us with power? The divine God. Why didn't God use angels or Seraphim. But he chose us and he's been patient with you and me and. Even though our churches are far from what we know.

God wants them to be. We may feel like almost like giving up. Is there hope. Yes, there's hope because God is God. And because God is a God of revival and because God is determined To do his holy work.

2nd Chronicles 714. That beautiful covenant of God that God gave way back to Solomon. I Know it is given in a specific circumstance. It has national implications. It had national implications for Israel, but it is in accord with the whole plan and purpose of God.

This is the God we had this is the God we serve. If my people. If we'll listen to that if. If my people who are called by my name, they're supposed to be mine. They're supposed to be at my service. They're called by my name.

If they will humble themselves. Oh God help us to learn this. How can we humble ourselves? If they will humble themselves and pray and Seek my face. When I hold prayer seminars or prayer conferences, I speak about different levels of prevailing prayer.

Especially in my book mighty prevailing prayer. And I try to point out what a little give a little hint of what it means to seek God's face. This isn't just asking. Praise God we can ask and receive. But there are situations where we will only get the results if we seek and then we will find Seeking it goes clear beyond asking.

Seeking involves something of holy determination. Seeking probably involves something of heart hunger. Gripping out reaching out toward God seeking means That we're not taking no for an answer. Seeking means that if we don't get the answer quickly, we say you know, did I misunderstand you Lord?

Is there something that I'm not getting quite straight? Seeking says Lord. Is there anything in me? That's hindering. Is there anything I can do to help repair the way of the Lord? Am I a stumbling block anyplace?

Oh God show me if I'm in the way help me to get out of the way seeking means we're serious about wanting the answer from God. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves rather than think how dry or how disobedient somebody else is humble themselves and Pray and not only pray but pray and seek my face.

Oh God loves to give things to those who seek him praise God and Turn from their wicked ways. As our brother said this morning We don't think of not being filled with the Spirit as being a wicked way.

We don't think of some of our things. Our weaknesses as we call them as being wicked, but if they hinder the work of God. If they cripple the Church of God if they block. What God was to do? If they bring discredit on God, or if we could see ourselves in God's sight God help us to see ourselves.

Well, if we saw it totally we would overwhelm us. I'm sure. But if we could begin to get a glimpse of how we are in God, yes He loves us so much. Think of how much he loves us. How much he puts up with?

How often he waits for us. Think of God's amazing grace and mercy and love. That's because he's a God of revival. He's a God of redemption. That's the kind of God we have. Then will I hear from heaven and Will forgive their sin praise God and We'll heal their land.

Revival and Healing for Nations

Oh I've been Trying to emphasize this as I go from place to place last month in Korea. Yes, Korea needs healing. They're ashamed. They're broken. Two of their presidents ex-presidents in prison in the Orient that's face losing.

That's disgrace. But God wants to heal our lands. When OMS moved to Indianapolis, we thought it was a lovely area a quiet area. We were grateful. We moved from Los Angeles from the Hollywood section, by the way.

We're gangs. Fought with chains outside the windows of our office building. And our secretaries were several times chased down the street and came running. Frightened and Almost hysterical we were the community become that debased.

Yes, there are American cities that have that kind of a situation. Many of them today. The crime in our cities what a disgrace. What a disgrace. Yes. My land needs healing. Your land needs healing. All of our lands need healing.

It must have been true to some extent way back in Solomon's day. God said that there I Will forgive their sins and I will heal their land. Oh, may God heal our land. May God heal our land, but it's never too late for God.

Never too late for God. Praise God when the great awakening began. God got a group a little a little group of Mighty little men. Formed a holy club. They didn't have full light yet, but they were going after it.

They were trying to they were seeking God. God brought them in clear light. And then God sent that Wesleyan revival. It wasn't safe to go out in the suburbs of London. It wasn't safe to go from one town to another unless you had armed guards with you.

The famous prime minister. Had been living in immorality for 20 years. The whole nation knew it. Some of the great names of their society on everybody's tongue. Lord, Chesterfield. Taught his own son how to seduce women.

Is it too late? Some bishops pride themselves that Didn't bother to go near their diocese. One bishop pride himself. He'd only gone one time To the area of his diocese. The church is so dry and the church is so dead.

What can God do? That's the way it was with Savonarola before Martin Luther. When the church was so immoral and society was so immoral too late, what can God do now? God got one young man. One young man and For eight years turned the tide and sent revival.

Until people went from house to house calling on little children going from house to house in Florence calling on people to give up their sins. Who was it her his prayer team? What citywide committee was it.

None. One young man Who Loved God who was hungry for God to work. Who believed God could change things. One young man. What kind of a revival team? Where is a revival team. And yet he could turn an emperor in his army back?

Single-handed when the hand of God comes upon someone in Old Testament times or even to this day. That's a different person after the hand of God's on him while the hand of God is on him. You saw that Picture in the TV.

When in Tin Man Square in the confrontation in China a couple of years ago. And one young student standing before a mighty tank and stopped it. That was Savonarola. He went out to the French army. He had prophesied God giving him a prophecy that this nation is going to be invaded and in answer to his own prophecy it happened.

And then Savonarola starts out there to meet the French army. They're all ready across the Alps they're all ready to march in the land too late. No, it's not too late. God has someone that obeyed him.

If God has someone with a burdened heart someone that's seeking his face. Fasting so much until he was so weak. He could hardly stand up at times. But he was it was a man. God had somebody he could use.

If God could do that back in those days brothers and sisters think of all the evangelicals across Canada the United States and Europe think of all the people that are Available to God today. Are we available or do we have ears to hear?

Can we sense the touch of God? Are we available to God? If God could do that in other days. Remember, I just read this said Habakkuk Lord I've heard of your fame. That's what God has done. That's what God has done.

He's the same God today. Oh Lord renew the work in our time. In our time. Make known. Yes, so God is a God of revival. This is not contrary to God's nature. This is in accord with God's nature to come at the most desperate times.

If he has people that he can use. Oh, are we usable? Are we available to God? How available is our prayer life to God? Oh that God would make us mighty in prevailing prayer. God could do such great things in our days.

This is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. This is a dispensation of revival. If God could do great things in Old Testament days, what could he do today? If God could do great things in the Middle Ages inspire the surrounding darkness squelching out the light.

If God could do great things if he had an instrument. Someone who would fast and pray and hold on to the horns of the altars we say and refuse to let go. What can God do today with all the people that love him?

The pastors and evangelists. And the singers and the gospel workers. And godly women and men in the churches, oh that God could arouse us and Convince us that this is the day of revival. This is the day of grace.

The day of wrath is coming. The Bible is very clear. But this is the day of grace. This is the day of the God of grace the God of revival. It's not too late for God. God is always a God of grace. Oh, he's a God of judgment.

He is a God of wrath. That's true, and he will pronounce that judgment on sin and Evil, he's been very patient. Count the Lord's long-suffering that he hasn't visited the earth with greater judgment before this.

But He's a God who hears and answers prayer. Do you know that we're the only religion in the world that has a sacred book with promises in it. Did you know that the Hindus don't have any book of promises?

In fact, if you know Orthodox Hinduism, it's blasphemy to pray. Because since I am God and I am you and I am everything else in this world. That's Hindu philosophy. Then why should I pray? I'm just talking to myself.

What do they have to offer the world. Or if you believe in Allah who is too great to make a promise too great. To have character. Because if you had to live up to your character, then God would not be free.

He would be bound. What certainty does a Muslim have that he will go to the heaven that Muhammad in His followers described where every faithful one has 70 ,000 spirit concubines. What chance do you have to get there?

It depends upon the whim of Allah. He doesn't guarantee that all Mohammedans will go to heaven on the last day he will say to some to the right. To him and I care not. Say to the left that's to hell and I care not.

He's too great to care. I remember when we got a student who had been converted from Islam in our seminary in Allahabad, India. We had to teach him the Christian truth. We had to teach him who the Christian God is or he thought he knew.

He said to me one day. Oh, he said I fear God. Yes, he had a terror of God because he had to carry over of all that he'd been taught in Islam. That's the kind of God of wrath that you can't depend on.

According to the whim of the moment Allah will decide this or that or something else. But we have a God of promise. We have a God of character. We have a God of mercy. We have a God of love mercy triumphs over judgment and we can have revival.

God's Word is full of it. God longs to do it. Oh May God help us to seek his face if my people will humble themselves and pray and Seek my face. Really mean it. Really be determined to obey God to seek my face.

To take whatever step is necessary to get God's answer to qualify. To humble themselves. When God sent revival to China. Jonathan Goforth had seen it in Korea. Someone gave him a copy of Finney's Autobiography in his lectures.

He said if Finney is right and We'll see revival. I think I'd invite to go with the secretary from the Office in Canada here to take a peek see what's happening in Korea if it's genuine. This is the real thing.

When he came back he was on fire. Jonathan Goforth one of your greatest Canadian missionaries. When he got back to transit, oh, mr. Goforth don't expect that here. Don't expect that here. We don't lose face.

People will not humble themselves. People will not confess their sins. Don't expect that don't expect anything in public like that. But Jonathan Goforth was a man of revival. Thank God for every man of revival and that time long wherever Jonathan Goforth went revival came.

Usually within five days time. That's amazing to me. That's amazing in five days time. Sometimes the missionaries at the station he would go to hadn't been playing a parent hadn't been playing that much.

But and they were skeptical as oh, they don't expect it here. Mr. Goforth. Yes, he expected it and he got it. Sometimes it the revival didn't break until the fourth day and sometimes on the fifth day, but he expected revival.

He he had the that power of the Lord on him. You're talking about this morning brother simply Praise God. Oh God come upon us Church today. Oh God come upon us all today. Oh God make us us Men and women of God.

It's not too late. Believe it. God is a God of revival. God is a God who keeps his covenant. He dares to make his promises and he'll fulfill his promises. No other God like it in the world. Our God is God praise God.

A Call to Pray for God's Glory

I don't want to speak anymore. I want us to pray. I Want us to take the last minutes and One right after another open your heart to God and pray as God leads you pray comparatively brief. You can say more than one or two sentences, but let's obey God.

Let's open our hearts to him be free in the Lord. Yes, or to help us Jesus Jesus. Yes. Amen. Oh Praise God praise God. We want to see your glory. You want to see your mighty arm made bare? Amen, praise God.
