Ten Commandments for Revival — Denny Kenaston

Repentance as the Foundation for Lasting Revival

In this country today, that's the very reason, because that one subject right there is off the foundation. Until we get back to that foundation, we'll see no lasting changes, there'll be no churches planted because of the work of God done inside the hearts of God's people, because the repentance is not right.

I just really appreciate it, I thank you Brother Moses, and I think it's a blessing that you could teach. I knew of a couple of brothers, they were twins who traveled together, one was a teacher and one was a preacher.

One of them preached about revival and the other one taught revival principles to the people, and I believe you need both of them. We need to understand what repentance is all about. Well we greet you this evening in the name of Jesus, and I'd like to say it's a real blessing for me to be here and to stand in this building, I'm not quite sure about these acoustics yet, how they work out with a PA and all of that, but this building is a blessing.

I just want to commend those of you who spent many hours and your money to make this place the way it is now, I believe that God is going to honor it. It feels real good here tonight, this building, thank the Lord.

The Need for Personal and Corporate Revival

Well I'd like to speak this evening on the subject, Ten Commandments for Revival. We want to talk about revival, I don't know that that's what we're going to speak about every evening here, but that is what we're about, I believe that's what most of you have been praying for is revival, and it might be good just to draw a few guidelines about what revival is all about, and I think we'll be able to do that some as we look at this subject this evening of Ten Commandments for Revival.

Ten things that God wants his people to do if they're going to have revival. Ten things that God wants his people to do if they really want to have revival. Ten things that if God's people will do it, they will see revival.

Ten things. And I'd like you to listen carefully as we go down through these. God knows we need revival. God knows it, and I believe most of God's people who are truly sincere, they also know that there is a need for revival.

We need a revival. Our telephones ring off the walls these days with the hearts and cries of people who are so disillusioned, and they're so weary of being where they are, and they're trying to find something that's real, and they're looking for a church where there's some Christian reality, where there's some real Christians, where there's some real Bible being lived out in people's lives, where people have some real joy, and they're not superfluous, but they've got some foundation to them, there's something solid to them, and our telephones ring.

Day by day they ring with people on the telephone saying, what should I do? Where should I go? Do you have any counsel for me? What should I do? Should I move my family? Should I move to another area?

What do I do? And we wonder what to tell them, but we know what the greatest answer is, that there be a revival in this land, and I'm not preaching tonight that there be a revival in America. I don't know if you could bring a revival to America in these days, but I do know that God still believes in revival in the lives of people, in their personal lives, and in the corporate life of any body of believers, God still believes in revival tonight, brothers and sisters.

Many needs, many tears, we catch them just this afternoon, I caught them for an hour and a half. Some family in Indiana called. He began to pour his heart out, his struggles, his burdens. What do I do?

Where should I go? What about my children? And his wife was on the telephone in another room, and she was just listening there quietly, and then finally I asked her a question, and she began to open up her heart and share, and she just burst into tears and began to weep on the telephone over the burden that she had, that they're in the wrong place, and their children are being influenced wrong, and her husband is being guided wrong, and she just wept on the telephone and poured her heart out to me.

That could be re-given over and over and over. I could stand up here all evening and tell you story after story like that, and there may be this evening some very cries and some hearts in this room that are just like that.

God knows we need revival, and we don't need to go outside this room and we don't need to go outside the doors of our churches to also acknowledge the fact there are needs among us that we don't know what to do with, aren't there, brethren?

There are those among us we prayed and we prayed and we prayed and we still don't see a result. God knows we need revival. Oh, for a wind of God that would blow through our congregations where we know that God has met with us of a truth, where we know that God has wrought a deep repentance in the hearts of His people.

I guess I'd have to say it's a little bit hard when you've got a nice revival principle like that to not go back to it, but, brothers and sisters, that's the difference between a revival meeting and a revival right there.

Everybody has revival meetings, don't they? You see them, the signs up, revival meeting, October 19th, October 26th. Well, that's all they had, too, by the way. They had a revival meeting. But God wants revival that starts on October 19th and is still going on on October 19th a year later and two years later.

And the difference is this repentance. Oh, we thank God for the mercy drops that have fallen, but oh, for a shower of God's grace upon the hearts of His people. What is revival? I should say just a little bit about what revival is.

It's a quickening of God inside of us. It's when God brings the reality of Himself back into the hearts and lives of His people where God is real. How many testimonies have I heard coming out of the mouth of somebody who found true repentance in their life and they'll stand up the next day or two days later or a week later or a month later and say, God is real.

And, brothers and sisters, He is real. God is real. He's not just a name. He's not just a word. God is real. And that's what revival is all about, when God becomes real to you again. Or for the first time.

Oh, revival, we could give many definitions. It's a clear drink from the fountain of living water. Revival is the fullness of Christ in the life of a believer. That's what revival is. Revival is when we get a renewed vision of Calvary and a new vision of God's glory in our lives.

That's what revival is. Revival is when souls start coming to Christ. That's one of the fruits of revival. Oh, how many times you hear people pray, Lord, if there's anything wrong in my life, Lord, reveal it to me.

If there's anything wrong in my life, Lord, will you reveal it to me? But, brothers and sisters, when revival comes to your life, you'll become fruitful. The one is a natural flow of the other. You'll become fruitful.

Are you fruitful tonight? Do you know the joy of winning a soul to Jesus Christ? Have you ever won a soul to Jesus? That's a good question, isn't it? You say, well, I'm not the preacher. No, that's not the preacher's job.

Now, it's true, the preacher gets the blessing of doing it pretty often, and you don't know what you're missing. You have no idea the fun, the joy, the blessing, the thrill that you are missing. Revival is the burst of light from the throne of God.

Revival is conviction of sin. Revival is answered prayers. No, I don't mean you prayed and three months ago you got an answer to prayer. That's not an answer to prayer. That's the law of averages. Revival is when you have answers to prayer, when you go before God and you bring your petitions before Him and you see the answers to them tomorrow.

That's what happens in revival. You don't have to go three months and then say, God answered one of my prayers. What about the other ones you prayed? Revival is answers to prayer. Well, the Bible is full of revival.

Joel 2 and the Ten Commands for Revival

There are many passages that we could turn to this evening, but I've chosen to turn to Joel, chapter 2, and we want to draw out of this chapter ten commandments for revival. Let's see if we can do this in an hour.

Ten commandments for revival, Joel, chapter 2, and we'll read verse 15 through 18 and then take a look at a few of these points. In Joel, chapter 2 and verse 15 and reading. Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sanctify a fast.

Call a solemn assembly. Gather the people. Sanctify the congregation. Assemble the elders. Gather the children and those that suck the breast. Let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber and the bride out of her closet.

Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep before the porch and the altar and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that they heathens should rule within.

Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then will the Lord be jealous for his land and pity his people. Ten commandments for revival. The first one we'd like to look at is found in verse one and also in verse 15.

Sounding the Alarm and Recognizing Spiritual Need

And that is to sound the alarm. The first thing we need to do is sound the alarm or become aware of the fact that we need one. We need to think as I was pondering this point a little earlier here. I should be a beautiful building to blow one in because that's exactly what they use.

They use the ram's horn and that ram's horn had a real loud sound to it. And it shook everybody. And it brought trembling into the hearts of the people when they heard the sound of the ram horn blowing.

And I wish I had one tonight that we could blow it. But we want to get the spiritual sense of what God is saying in these verses. And that is that the people need to be made aware that something is wrong.

That's what sounding the alarm is all about. And today, brothers and sisters, there needs to be a trumpet blown because people don't realize where they're at. I don't know if there's such a thing as a Laodicean age or not, but I know there's such a thing as a Laodicean church.

And that church needs to be woke up. They need to realize that they are a rich, poor church. You know, you can be a poor, rich church or you can be a rich, poor church. I wonder which one you'd like to be.

Oh, the Laodicean. They were rich and increased and in need of nothing. When in reality, God said that they were poor and naked and wretched and blind. So the first point, the first commandment for revival is you've got to bring the people to awareness.

You'll never have a revival until you see a need. You'll never have a revival in your own life until you see the need. And you say, well, I don't think I have any need. How many souls did you win the last year?

How many times did you spend an hour of intercessory prayer in the last year? How many times have you reached out to somebody else and had a right word, a fresh word from heaven to minister to somebody else's need?

How many times, brother? How many times, sister? We just sit in our plainness and we live our sweet little lives and we think everything is okay. Brothers and sisters, have you read the book of Acts lately?

Did you study the Anabaptists for a while? They were on fire for God. They had a fire burning inside their hearts. They were winning souls wherever they went. They weren't building farms. They were building the kingdom of God.

That's what they were doing. And I'd just like to blow the trumpet a little bit tonight. Lest we think that it's my brother or it's my sister, not me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. We need to be shaken out of our complacency tonight.

We do. You know it's so. Recently heard a grieving report of a congregation somewhere a little ways away from here. Wednesday night prayer meeting. Everybody gets down on their knees to pray. And you got to wake the fellow up next to you when it's his turn to pray because he fell asleep.

What kind of a prayer meeting is that? Whatever happened to an effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man that moves much and that does much? Whatever happened to those? Whatever happened to the Acts chapter 4 prayers where they prayed and the place was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they went out with boldness and preached the Word of God?

You see, it's not enough just to be the way we are. It's not enough just to be dressed right. It's not enough just to have a nice little family. And I believe in all those things. But we need to be shaken out of our own complacency.

The quiet of the land is Old Testament, not New Testament. The New Testament has warriors in it. They're out there fighting the battle because there's a fire burning on the inside of them. So I'd just like to blow the trumpet.

That's point number one. You want to have a revival? First we need to see that we need one. That's point number one. Do it so the souls are not saved. The souls are not saved. Judgment. At the end of Joel it says the Lord shall roar out of Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem.

It says it again in Amos. The Lord will roar out of Zion. You know, judgment is right around the corner. And I don't just mean you. I mean we. Sometimes we think we've got forever. And judgment is about to fall.

And many are not saved. So that's point number one. The first commandment for revival. And I think we would all agree with that. We've got to know that we need one. That's number one. We get from there.

Gathering the People in Shared Awareness

Now we go to number two. We gather the people together. Gather the people together. Verse 16 it says gather the people. That's a very interesting little point there. You gather a bunch of people together.

And make them aware that they need revival. And see what happens to a group of people like that. They get together and realize, hey, we're not, things aren't right. It happens all the time. We hear about them on the telephone, Brother Mose and I.

Just about church split time. Three or four families in a congregation. All of a sudden they become aware. Things aren't right. These prayer meetings are dead. We haven't had a soul down an aisle in this church for five years.

And three or four families will get together and start praying. They see a need. We need revival. And they begin to pray. They gather themselves together. And when you gather together a people who realize they have a need.

And they begin to lay that thing before God. God's going to move. He'll move. I've seen it happen over and over and over again. And if we'll realize our own need. And gather together with those kind of hearts in mind.

You'll see God do something this week. You will. I promise you that on the authority of the Word of God. And on the authority of God Himself. Wherever there's a people who recognize their need. And gather together with a broken heart.

And begin to sigh and cry unto God. For the needs that are among them. God will begin to work. He will. He's the same yesterday, today and forever. So you need to gather the people together. There needs to be a group consciousness.

To have a revival among a people. There needs to be a group consciousness. We all need to become aware of it. Not just one or two here. And one or two over here. But we all need to become aware of it.

And oh what a blessing that is. When you have a group of people. When everybody in that group says. Yes Lord we have a need. And Lord we're going to do something about it. Oh I'll tell you what. Jesus will build a church in that place.

I promise you that. He'll build one. He said he'll build his church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And he's still building his church today. He's just looking for people. Who are in such condition that he can build through them.

He hasn't stopped building his church. No not one bit. He just doesn't have anybody to build it with. So number two. Commandment of revival. Is that a group consciousness comes over us. That we as a group we realize.

We have a need. Something is wrong. Number three. Number three you need to make revival a priority. It has to become a priority. Commandment number three. It must become a priority. Notice what it says in the last part of verse sixteen.

Making Revival a Priority

Gather the people. Sanctify the congregation. Assemble the elders. Gather the children. And those that suck the breath. Let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber. And the bride out of her closet.

Let the priest and the minister of the Lord. Notice what it says there. It's a priority. I mean bridegroom come out of your chamber. Bride come forth. Mother with child you come. Elders you come. Everybody drop what you're doing.

Forget what you had in your hands. There's something important going on. The trumpet has been blown. There's a need in the land. And when revival becomes a priority like that. You watch what will happen.

God will work. But the problem is. Many times it's not a priority. Oh we're fine to have meetings. We're glad to have the meetings. Meetings are good. We'll go to the meeting. We'll go to the prayer meeting.

We'll pray the prayer. That's fine. No problem. But to make revival a priority. It takes a lot more than that. It means. It means it's on your heart all day. It means while you're busy there working. You're in your kitchen.

You're out there in the barn. You're working. You're out in the field putting in fence posts or whatever. There's something on inside of the heart that says Lord. We need you Lord. We need your blessing.

We need you to work. We need you to do something among us. And when revival becomes a priority. That people are willing to lay things aside. See something happen. Revival comes when people get desperate.

And usually revival doesn't come if people aren't desperate. I mean I've never seen it. I've never seen revival come to a sleepy people. Who were just kind of sitting around. Going through the motions of their Christian life.

But to the ones who see the need. And they make it a priority. God will do something. Would you like to have a revival? Think about it. You have a little child. Five years old. She gets sick. You have to take her to the hospital.

She's going to be in the hospital for a month. Whose priorities change? They change. We change our priorities. We do it all the time. When we get desperate about revival. We change our priorities. Much could be said about that.

You know. Maybe we work 45 hours instead of 60. That'd be all right. When revival becomes a priority. When we say God. We've got to have it. We're desperate. We need you to move. There's needs all around us.

There's needs in my own life. There's needs in our fellowship. We need you to do something Lord. We get like that. And our priorities start changing. You watch and see what happens. Number four. We're going to jump back up to verse 15 now.

Sanctifying a Fast

And notice commandment number four. Sanctify a fast. Sanctify a fast. Fast. Yes. Fast. That means going without stomach. That means a quivering knee. That means fast says the Bible. What does it mean to sanctify a fast?

It means to set aside a fast for this particular reason. What does sanctify a fast mean? Let's sanctify. Let's set apart a fast for this particular reason. And fast unto the Lord with prayer and crying and desperation that God would do something in our lives.

Sanctify a fast. That is a lost tool in the church of Jesus Christ today. That's a lost tool. Too many McDonald's and Burger Kings around to sanctify a fast in America. Too much food around. Too many nice things to eat.

Too many delicious meals. Too much dessert sitting around. Too many cookies in the house. Too much nice stuff to feed our bellies on. Who can sanctify a fast today? But the Bible says get so concerned about what God needs to do that you'll just lay the plate aside and seek God with an empty stomach.

Do you know what'll happen if you'll do that? Empty stomach equals hungry heart. Did you know that? An empty stomach equals a broken heart. An empty stomach equals a praying heart. Try it sometime. You'll find all three of them in that empty stomach.

People have no idea what they're missing. They think they're having their nice meal. But I'll tell you what. You're missing a broken heart. You're missing a praying heart. You're missing a hungry heart who is longing after and hungering after what God can do in your life.

You're missing those three things while you had your cherry pie in the mood. That's what you're missing. And God says the commandments for revival is sanctify a fast. Set aside a fast. And seek my faith for revival.

And if you want to learn what fasting is all about, read Isaiah chapter 58. This is the fast that he has chosen. You see, God wants us to pray specific prayers. God wants us to zero in on a specific need.

And when you sanctify a fast for a specific purpose, it'll do something. It moves heaven. I don't know how it moves heaven, but I know it moves heaven. When you sanctify a fast like Isaiah chapter 58.

Calling a Solemn Assembly

Alright, number five. And this is also found in verse 15. Commandment number five. Call a solemn assembly. Just like our brother Moses said about repentance. Mourning. Call a mourning assembly. Call a sad assembly.

Call a poverty stricken assembly together and see what God will do. James chapter 4 says draw an eye to God and he will draw an eye to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners and purify your hearts ye double minded.

Be afflicted and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he shall lift you up. Call a solemn assembly. Which I believe what the Bible is saying here is that everybody just gather together and be sad.

Just gather together and break your hearts. Just gather together and mourn over the fact and be poor. Just be poverty stricken before the Lord. And just say God here we are. We're just beggars. We don't know what to do.

If you don't come and do something, what else can be done? Listen. The Lord loves beggars. He loves them. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the beggars who come before me. That's what God says.

He blesses the beggars. The ones that don't need anything, they don't get anything. But the beggars God loves. Call a solemn assembly. Let's move on. Commandment number six. Sanctify the congregation.

Sanctifying the Congregation Through Wholehearted Repentance

Now this is where it gets right down the hole. Sanctify the congregation. In verse sixteen it says gather the people and sanctify the congregation. But let's move up to verse twelve so we can get an idea of what God means by that.

Verse twelve says, Therefore also now saith the Lord, Turn ye even to me with all your heart. With all your heart. With fasting and with weeping and with mourning. Sanctify the congregation. No more half heartedness but whole heartedness.

Whole heartedness. Turn ye unto me with all your heart. That's repentance. That's what Brother Moe shared with us already. Turn unto me with all of your heart. Oh, we'll turn but not with all of our heart.

There's a little part of it that we're going to keep for ourselves. There's something that we'd like to do. We'll turn to the Lord but not with all of our heart. But God says, turn unto me with all of your heart.

And the Lord will have pity on us and heal us. With all of your heart. Sanctify the congregation. Which means, you, you, each one of us, clean up. Clean up. You want to have a revival? You clean up. Don't worry about him.

Don't worry about her. Put all those thoughts out of your mind this week. About what he needs and what she needs. Oh, I agree. If your heart is clear before the Lord and you have no need. I think it's a blessing to pray for one who is in need.

But many times revival is held back by that one who has a need. But thinks they have no need. And they push off their own need by thinking about their brother's need. While the message is going on. So I encourage you.

You, you cleanse your heart. Before the Lord. In the way that Brother Moose said. I just so appreciated that. You say, well I've not been what I should be in my home. Well, if you repent, everybody in your home will know it.

They'll know it. If you repent, it'll last more than a week, I guarantee it. Sanctify the congregation. That's commandment number six. There'll be no revival where there is a congregation who's not willing to sanctify themselves.

There will be no revival. We'll have a nice meeting. It'll be a sweet time. We'll enjoy it. But it will not last. It will not impact the community. It will not reach those that are among us who have those needs.

It won't reach them. Sanctify the people. My mind goes back to some of our own experience back in our church. Back in Pennsylvania. Oh, we gathered together. We're going to have revival meetings. We want to reach the community around us.

Praise God. We want to reach the community. We prayed, Oh Lord, bless us. Lord, reach out there. Go out there in the highway. Bring all the people in. When in reality, we had many needs in our own lives.

And you may sit here tonight and say, Well, I don't have any. Get a glimpse of the glory of God once and see if you don't have any. But God had a different thing in mind. He went to work on us for a week.

One week every night. He got the plow out and plowed through our lives. And we had to stand up and say, I'm a proud man. And we had to stand up and say, I have a struggle with lust in my life. Please pray for me.

And sisters stood up and said, I wrestle with my husband. I resist him. And men had to stand up and say, I'm an ogre with my wife. And I'm mean to her. And I get angry at my children. And that went on night after night after night.

I mean, it got right down home. But after about a week of that, all of a sudden, the community started showing up. And the altar started filling up with sinners. There's one. There's one. Oh, what joy and rejoicing in the congregation of the saints to see some of those sinners get converted.

We prayed for them and prayed for them and prayed for them. And never saw any conversion until we were willing to get up on our own and say, I have a need. I've got pride in my heart. I'm struggling with lust.

I don't love my husband. I'm not raising my children. And when men and women got honest before God and sanctified themselves, all of a sudden, here they come. I mean, we couldn't even figure out how they got there.

And here they are at the altar, wanting to get born again. Sanctify the congregation. It's not my brother. It's not my sister. It's me, O Lord. It's me. Sanctify the congregation. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?

Who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands. That's where the Bible stands. Sanctify the congregation. Number 7, found in verse 13. Break your hearts. And I'd like us to notice that. God doesn't say, let your heart be broken.

Breaking the Heart Through Contrition

He says, break your heart. That's interesting, isn't it? Sometimes we get this whole thing of sovereignty all mixed up and we sit around and wait for God to break our heart. And God says, you break your heart.

Rend your heart and not your garments. You see, in those days, that was an outward expression of the inward attitude of the heart. When their heart was breaking, they would rend their garments. But God was saying, I'm tired of watching you rend your garments.

I want you to break your heart once. Break your heart. And that's one of the commandments for revival. A broken heart. And God says, you break your heart. Break it. Remember what I said? That revival is when God becomes a reality in an individual's life again.

That's what revival is. Listen to this verse on brokenness. Isaiah 57, 15. Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is holy. I dwell in a high and holy place with him also, that is of a contrite and a humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite one.

Now that verse tells me that there's two places where God dwells. He dwells in eternity. He's the high and lofty one who dwells in eternity. And then there's one other place he dwells. On the broken heart.

He dwells on the broken heart. Imagine that. The God, the high and lofty God who dwells in eternity, also dwells on a broken heart. He's so big. He's so mighty. He's so awesome that he dwells in eternity.

But he loves brokenness so much that he'll take all that bigness and awesomeness and majesty and pack it inside of a broken heart. Break your heart. That's one of the commandments for revival. Break your heart.

The other day, she's not here, so I'll use it. The other day, I had the blessed opportunity of spanking my little four-year-old. Sweet thing that was. She had been bad, and I spanked her. And I spanked her good.

And she cried. And I cried. And you know, you can always tell with a child when you got through. Because when we got all done, and we went into the other room, it was time for devotions. And I sat her there on the couch with all the rest of the children.

We started to sing the first song. And she couldn't get a word out of her mouth. She just broke down and started crying again. Oh, I looked down about that. Then, I decided, well, I'm going to bring her over here and put her on my knee to give her a little comfort.

And I put her on my knee, and she just broke down and started crying again. And then devotions was over, and a little bit later, I looked over at her. Her eyes met mine, and mine met hers. And she just broke down and started crying again.

And I thought, well, Lord, that is brokenness. Have you ever had that kind of brokenness in your life? Where you just, you fall on your knees before your Father in Heaven, and you just, your heart just melts with brokenness.

When God finds your heart like that, you will not be able to get away from Him. He loves a broken heart. Sometimes I think, us adults need a good old spanking like that. The revival that broke out in Africa, it began with a group of people, 20 of them, who were all broken up.

Because they did not have Bible reality. Don't you think it's about time we get broken up that we don't have Bible reality? They got heard enough. They weren't a bunch of worldly people either, by the way.

These were dedicated Christians, but they just started examining the facts. And they realized, we just don't have Bible reality. People are not being converted. People's lives are not being changed. The power of God is not in a mighty way in our midst.

Prayer and Intercession for Revival

And they got all broken up over their needs. Wouldn't you know it. My people, oh Lord, have a revival. There's got to be prayer. And I know we've been talking about prayer. I've just been kind of touching it all through the message.

But now we're going to make it a point here this evening. Because it's one of the Ten Commandments for revival, is prayer. When people get right with God, and they get desperate before God, and they sanctify their lives before God, and they get broken before God, and they begin to pray, and they begin to plead with God, and intercede, Lord, spare thy people.

You watch and see what God will do. May we pray tonight. If your prayer meeting ever loses that, then you need to get desperate about it. If it ever turns into a monotone prayer meeting, then you need to get desperate before God about it, and say, Lord, there's something wrong.

When people are desperate, they forget about all the these and thousand, and all the right things that they're supposed to pray. They forget whether they're praying to the Father in the name of the Son through the Holy Spirit.

They forget all those things. And I believe in all of that, by the way. But sometimes it gets so dry to hear some people pray those spit-polished prayers that don't have an ounce of brokenness in them, and no desperation in them, and no urgency in them.

Those are the things that make prayers some desperation. Stand up here for two hours and give you examples of revivals that came by prayer. It still comes the same way, brothers and sisters. Amendment number nine.

The Preachers’ Role in Revival

And this point here, I want to say, you don't have to have number nine, but it sure is a blessing if you do. You can have revival without number nine. Number nine is, let the preachers get involved. Let the preachers get involved.

Is that what it says? Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord. Let the preachers get involved. Now, you don't have to have this one, but usually if you don't have this one, you'll have a church split down the road not too far.
