Revival Conference 2007 - Harold Vaughn - Part 7 — Harold Vaughn

Making Room for Repentance

Pharisee camp or in the Sadducee camp or somewhere in between. There's room at the cross for us to repent. He's a wealthy businessman in London. He loved to do things for the poor children in the ghetto.

The Child Who Made Room for the Tide

So he got a busload and he went to the ocean. He wanted the children to see the ocean. They frolicked and played and swam all day long. Had a wonderful time the end of the day. Came there on the bus. They're going home.

The wealthy businessman went from seat to seat and talked to child to child about his experience on the first time of seeing the ocean. He found a little kid that had a half bottle full of ocean water and he asked the little boy.

He said well, what are you doing with this bottle of water? The little boy said well, my mother has never seen the ocean either and I want my mom to see the ocean. So I'm taking the ocean water in this bottle.

I want my mom to see it and the businessman said well son. How come it's only half full and little boy said I had to leave room for the tide to come in. I had to leave room for the tide to come in and my brethren We can make room for the tide to come in.

Forgiveness, Humility, and the Way Back to God

Amen. You see there's forgiveness with God that he might be feared and brother. Nobody's totally consistent and nobody's perfect in this life and brother. I'm just telling you we ought to make a stab at it.

But nobody's totally consistent. We know that and that's what Calvary is all about and brother. We're no farther from God than we are from our knees and kneeling at the foot of the cross. I'm telling you Calvary is only a step away and I believe that God's calling some of us in these days.

Honest Obedience and Revival in the Home

I came here. I said to my wife. I said honey. What do you want God to do for you at this conference? So I want God to do something for me. Don't you want God to do something for you? Brother, here's the answer get honest.

I mean judgmentally honest get holy get humble. Get hot in your obedience and by the grace of God, let's get our homes in order and brother We can have a return of the glory of God. I'll say this and I'm gonna quit.

Rejecting Theological Fatalism

I Don't believe that God's foreordained us To a lay of the sea and deadbeat churches to where things are never going to get any better and we're going to go down. Go down the tomb from here on out. I wouldn't blame God for the circumstances today because that would be Blaspheming his holy name to believe that God would cause and prefigure a bunch of deadbeats.

To look like us to give us an excuse for being what we are my friend I want to tell you we need to get away from our eschatological Letoffs and our theological fatalisms and we need to believe God for a better day because the church became into existence in a burst of Glory, I think the true church is going to go out on a blaze and brother I don't know whether the nation's going to turn back to God.

I don't know about all of that. But I believe the churches can turn back to God and I know that individuals can turn back to God and if nobody else gets Revived I want to be revived and brother. Rather than better as I go along and I'm looking to believe in God for a better day.

Recovering the Glory of God

What about you my friend? What about it the prelude to the prelude to Ichabod? The prelude to Ichabod what happened before the glory departed brother at all costs at all costs in God's name. We've got to have a touch of God.

It's not it's not a nice thing. It's a must thing. We've got to have a touch of God. I got the meeting. I got the meeting that God was in it is good to get down every now and then when God is in Three o 'clock in the morning.

I got up in the middle of the night. It's a burden of prayer. Met a guy in the parking lot been up all night that got carried. He was he was a hidden spring. He carried that meeting. I said, but he's going home.

I got the third shift. You know something? After that thing was over. I was so exhausted. Emotionally spiritually intellectually spent but I said God when I got there looking to those stars. Miller said God I'd rather die young than see revival than live to be a hundred and never see the glory of God.

And I hope there's a burning in your heart. I know you wouldn't be here for one. Oh May God intense the flames at all costs man. Don't lose that sense of the glory of God and if the glory has departed in your heart in your home.

By God's grace, you can get it back because he's shown us the way we can't ignore the Word of God brother. We can obey and we can be blessed. Could we pray heads about eyes are closed. Before we pray I got three questions number one.

Prayer for Men and Leaders of the Home

I Wonder if they're men husbands fathers grandfathers here in the house. That was a herald. God has spoken to me clearly specifically and afresh about my Responsibilities as the leader in my home. I'm wondering if they're men fathers grandfathers.

It was a herald. I would appreciate if you would pray for me because God has spoken Specifically to my heart about my duties is the leader of my home and I'd like to be prayed for. I'd like for those men and only those men that God spoke to in a specific way.

Who would like to be prayed for to quietly stand to your feet and we're gonna have a word of prayer right where you're at. Just for those men that God spoke to in a specific definite way. God bless you men before we pray.

Prayer for Women Seeking Revival in Their Homes

I wonder if they're women mothers grandmothers here. You feel a keen need of a fresh touch from God. I know not everybody's in a perfect situation. I know some people are in very difficult circumstances.

But I'm wondering if there's some ladies here that say Harold I need a touch from God because I want my home to be a revival center and I don't want to be a hindrance man. I Want to be in that place for blessing.

God has spoken to my heart as a mother as a wife as a grandmother. I would like to be prayed for that. God would do something significant for me during these days. I have a need pray for me. Would you quietly with heads bowed rise to your feet and join these men that are already standing if you'd like to be prayed for Just those ladies that have a sense of need and would like specific prayer.

May God bless you sisters now before we pray. I got one more question I'm wondering.
