Show Me Your Glory — Gareth Evans

A couple of years ago, I was walking out with a pastor friend of mine, the leader of a ministerium in the city of Victoria, where I live, in Canada. He's a delightful brother, I delight in him, he's a fine, godly man.

And he made this comment to me, he said, Gareth, I love being with you because you got a fire in your belly. And he meant that as a compliment. But immediately through my mind went the question, why doesn't everyone else?

A Hunger for Revival

I want to tell you a little bit of my testimony, I want to walk you through my testimony of what God has done in my past a little bit, and then to tell you the passion of my heart now. I was born in the country of Wales, you can probably tell that by my accent.

Everywhere I go, people comment about my accent. I tell them I haven't got an accent. Everybody in Wales speaks like this. The problem is with Welsh people, when we get excited, we tend to talk very, very quickly.

And if I talk very, very quickly, you're going to have to listen very quickly. The trouble is when I talk about the Lord and about the good things he's done in my life, I tend to get excited. And so if I get too quick, you're going to have to listen quickly, okay?

I like being with you, Gareth, he said, because you've got a fire in your belly. I came to the Lord when I was 17 from a non-Christian background. My pastor in Wales was a young man who had been birthed in the stories of the Welsh Revival.

He lit a desire in me to know something of that experience in my own life. In my very early days, I was taught the stories of the Hebrides Revival in Scotland. I hungered to hear more of these stories.

I loved to hear these stories. This is what I was birthed on as a Christian. That pastor lit in me a fire, a desire for more of God. I wanted to see those things happen again. I never questioned that God who moved in Wales in 1904, that God who moved in the Hebrides, the Isle of Lewis in the 50s, was a God who could move in my life and in my circumstance and in the cities where I was dwelling and in the countries where I go.

I believe that. I'm still convinced of that. I believe God wants to bring revival to this nation, to my nation of Canada. I believe he's able to do that. I hungered for God. When I went to university, I went to study physics.

I became a physics teacher and I taught physics in secondary schools in Wales. In fact, I emigrated to Canada in 1975 as a physics teacher. But all that time, the passion in me was growing for the things of God.

I remember when I was in university. I remember that day so well when I met in the living room of the house where I was in digs. It was midday. It was May the 4th, 1961, five years after my conversion.

I was pleading with God. I needed to know him more. God visited me in a wonderful, wonderful feeling of his spirit, a baptism of his spirit. Whatever terms you want to use, God came into that room and he lit that fire and fanned it into a blaze that, praise God, has never gone out.

There have been days when it has been the dampening of the embers, but that is why I spend time in the morning. I encourage you to be people of morning devotions and my prayer and my morning devotions often centers around the Holy Spirit fan the flame, fan the flame.

The Welsh Revival and the Presence of God

I remember going to preach in a church in Wales back in the 70s. I was leading a youth work in Wales at that time that God was blessing. It was growing very rapidly. I was a layman, a physics teacher.

I went to preach in a little chapel in Wales or a big chapel in Wales. There was lots and lots of opportunities for lay people to preach. I probably preached 200 times before I became an ordained pastor.

This church in which I was invited to speak had been built during the Welsh Revival to seat maybe 1 ,000, 1 ,500 people. The night I was there, there were 25 people in the congregation scattered different places through the building.

The elevated pulpit that was there for the preacher, because in those days they didn't have PA systems. There was an elevated pulpit, all the seats surrounding two levels. Behind me was the organ that had been electrified, so I pressed the note for the first hymn, let us sing together, pressed the note, we sang a cappella.

I had to do everything during the service. I opened in prayer, came finally to preach the word, and I finished. I don't know if this was the church, but many of the churches, they would have a little note in the pulpit that said, please finish by 10 to 7, because we have to go home to milk the cows or whatever it might be.

I finished, and I came down, and a lady came to me who was seated just here on my left-hand side with her husband, and she said first words, thank you, Mr. Evans, I need to apologize for my husband. She didn't realize that her husband was standing right behind her, and he said, it's okay, Mary, I can apologize for myself.

Mr. Evans, please forgive me if I appeared to be asleep. I was not asleep, but when you opened in prayer, I was taken back to that day in 1910, when sitting in that same pew as a 16-year-old boy, I gave my life to Christ.

I remember so well when Elder Lewis prayed for me. Well, Mr. Evans, I have not lived for him as I ought, and while you have been preaching this morning, this evening, I have been making myself right with God.

Then he said, I do not know what it was about your preaching or your prayer that caused me to be taken back to those moments, and then he stopped. Oh, yes, I do, he said, yes, I do. It is obvious to me that you, like he, old Elder Lewis, are a child of the revival.

I wasn't born in the Welsh revival, but I knew the reality that I can live in revival today. You can live in revival, brothers and sisters. I drove down the valley that night, singing at the top of my voice that I should be considered a child of the revival.

I went back to Wales a few years ago. I was doing a series of preaching in London. I'd been invited by Christians of the National Westminster Bank, speaking to the chapters of the Christian believers in the bank on releasing your gifts into the secular marketplace.

I had a friend from Victoria, a pastor's wife, who was coming to Britain to the wedding of her daughter, and Karen had just booked for five days in Britain. You can't go to Britain for five days, it's too much to see.

I persuaded her to extend a holiday, and I met her when she came, just after the wedding, and I took her down to Wales, and I took her around the valleys, and I showed her some of the beauties of my homeland.

And we ended up in the village of Lougha, probably the village that's most known around the world. It's the place where the Welsh revival was centered. You see, I married a girl from Lougha. My mother-in-law was a child of two in the church where Evan Roberts' ministry began.

So mother knew the stories. She met Evan Roberts. So from the time I met my wife, I got to know more of the stories, secondhand yet, but by people who'd been touched by the revival. So just four or five years ago, I took my American friend, pastor's wife from Canada, two ways, and I took her to the home of my in-laws, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Betty, of course, her mother, as I mentioned to you, was a child there at the time with Evan Roberts. Vivian, my brother-in-law, his grandfather was converted during the revival. He was one of those men who built the local chapel.

His father grew up with those stories. His father was a teenager during the revival, and Vivian, my brother-in-law, of course, learned the stories. So we sat down and we drank coffee and ate waffles as Vivian is telling Karen some of the stories of the Welsh revival.

Then I said to Vivian, Vivian, what was the most striking thing about the Welsh revival? What was the major characteristic? Was it the hymn singing, because many wonderful hymns came out at that time?

Was it the preaching? I knew the answer to that. We have no preaching record of Evan Roberts preaching. What was the most striking thing about the Welsh revival? My brother-in-law and sister-in-law in unison said together, oh, Gareth, it was the awesome presence of God.

Both sinner and saint came into the place. F .B. Mayer came down from London to visit this place, and he says as he got off the train in Swansea, as he's coming out to the village of Gorseinon and Lacha, he said, oh, I felt the awesome presence of God.

When was the last time you sensed the awesome presence of God? When was the last time that you can remember being in a place, maybe walking a beach, maybe in your private closet, maybe even in a meeting, when you sensed the awesome presence?

I'm not talking about feeling goosebumps because you enjoyed the singing. I'm not talking about getting emotionally wound up because of the Christian karaoke that has just been up on the platform. I'm talking about the awesome presence of God that causes you, like Wesley, to declare that you're lost in wonder, love, and praise.

When was the last time? I'll tell you this, when you once experienced the presence of God, you hunger for more. Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones said these words, that revival is nothing more than a lot of God's people being filled with the Spirit at the same time.

You see, you and I can come here to this conference on revival, and we can listen to the speakers, and we have many different emphases from this platform these two days. We've been forced to look at the situation of your nation and my nation, and we have visitors here from Australia, we have visitors here from South Africa, we have visitors here from Scandinavia and Europe, and every one of us can identify with the cry of the heart of American preachers preaching the state of this nation, and we long for God to move in revival upon our nations, amen?

But brother and sister, if you have not got a longing in your heart for Him to move in revival here, it's never going to happen out there. He has to begin His work in the hearts of His own people, and God longs to make His presence known, longs to make His presence known.

Moses’ Desire to Know God’s Glory

I love the story of Moses, and I'd like you to turn with me to Exodus, please, and I'm just going to walk through the journey of Moses as God revealed Himself to Moses. You know the story well, but I just want to draw a few things out from it.

I do not intend to be long, and intend to be the dessert of this meal. You remember how Moses saw God at the burning bush? He was 80 years of age. He'd been looking after millions of four-legged, bleating sheep for 40 years, and God now at 80 years of age is about to call Him to lead millions of two-legged, bleating sheep.

And God meets Him at a bush that appears to be burning, but it is not being consumed. I tell you what, if I experienced God like that in the burning bush, that would last me probably the rest of my life.

It seems to last many other Christians all the rest of their life. They can look back to something 40 years ago and say, oh, God did this. I want to know what's God doing today. I've experienced the burning bush.

I've been on the mountaintop with God and felt His glory numerous times where I've sensed His presence come in. I can tell, I'm known as one who tells stories. I'm always telling stories about some of the things that God has done, that God has done in my life.

I don't tend to tell the stories of the valleys I went through before I came to the mountaintop, but I've experienced God. I've heard His voice that cries out and says, take your shoes off your feet for this is holy ground.

I've sought to walk a holy life. I've never been the man I want to be. I seek to know the truth of that verse. It says, continue to be filled with the Spirit, the passion. I want to walk in holiness and I'm constantly amazed, particularly these last few years.

I've gloried for years in the grace of God. These last few years, I'm glorying in the mercy of God because I realize how unworthy I am as I hunger for more of Him. I've been to the mountaintop. I've seen the burning bush, but like Moses, I want to cry out, oh God, show me a glory.

From the burning bush, Moses experienced God in many wonderful ways. He saw the sea parted. He saw the plagues that came down upon Egypt. He saw the deliverance of the firstborn. He comes out, he sees the miracle of the parting of the sea.

As the children of Israel are led out of bondage, he leads them on and then he has those intimate times with God on the mountaintop, face to face so that His face shines. In chapter 32, I'll paraphrase much of this chapter.

We'll come in mostly to chapter 33 of Exodus. Moses came down from the mountain and there was a noise of war in the camp. Joshua said to him, it is not war, but it is the people worshiping an idol. Moses came down, he took the calf and he ground it down to powder.

He cried out and said to them, who is on the Lord's side? The tribe of Levi said they would be and he gathered them together and he said to them, destroy every man that would worship this calf. Moses is angry.

In verse 30, on the morning, he came to the people and said, you have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to the Lord. Perhaps I can make some atonement for this sin. I have no idea what Moses was intending to do as atonement.

I find that when he came unto God, he said, oh God, these people have sinned a great sin. They've made them gods of gold. And then he says, yet now, if thou wilt not, if you will forgive their sin, and if not, blot me, I pray out of your book.

This was a man who was prepared to take upon himself responsibility for the sins of the people. You know, I really am fed up with the church pointing at the world. And when Christians come to me and say, look what's wrong in the world.

I say, brother, this is about time we looked and saw what's wrong in the church. I find in the New Testament, so many promises of God that the crown is given to him that I want to live an overcoming life.

I want to live a life where Satan has no power in me except the power that I give him. And I refuse to give him power. If you want to look at this world situation, start looking at the church and say, why isn't the church, the church of God that it should be?

And Moses identifies with the sin of the people. God, he says, if you will not forgive them, blot me, I pray out of the book. God says, Moses, whoever sinned against me, him I will blot out. But I want you to go and lead these people into a place I've spoken of.

I want you to take them on into the promises that I have for them. Nevertheless, I shall visit them with judgment. My angel shall go before you. In chapter 23, God had made the same promise. My angels shall go before me for my spirit is in him.

That sounded a wonderful promise. The angel of God is going to go before us, brothers. Isn't that a wonderful promise? Who wants to go forward with the angel of God? I don't. Moses cries out to God and says, oh, God, unless you go with us, I'm not going.

I'm not going. Have we become so used to the angel leading us? Have we become so used to good men leading us? Have we become so used to good programs leading us? That we fail to keep sight of the pillar of fire that leads and the cloud that leads and God who longs to go in front of his people.

We followed men. We followed programs. Oh, they're good. And we've seen some measure of success. We've seen our churches grow. Our numbers grow because we got men with good business ability leading. Men with good organizational skills leading.

So much so that we don't need God to lead us anymore. You all know the story, I'm sure, of a Chinese man who came to North America, went back home to China. He's asked by his people, what do you think of the church in America?

He said, it's wonderful. He said, I'm really amazed how much they can do without God, the Holy Spirit. We've got so used to the angel. We've got so used to the good men leading us that we've taken our eyes off God.

And Moses says, God, unless you go before me, I ain't going. When I heard that young Greg Gordon was coming here to this conference, he was at my home telling me. I felt my heart stirred. I said, oh, I want to be there.

And I didn't know how my wife would take it. I was so delighted when she looked to me and said, I think you should go. I never said that. I never said anything. Well, when your wife says that, guys, you know, that's special.

And then Greg said to me, Gareth, I'd like you to speak when you get there. I tell you, brothers and sisters, over the last five weeks, I've spent one day a week in fasting. My prayers are cried out to God.

For his word, I'm interested only given what I believe God has laid upon my heart for you. And I have said on a daily basis, God, I do not want to go to Canton unless you come with me. Anoint my preparation, Lord, and please anoint my presentation.

That has been a year in the cry of my heart. I can give you a lot of talk. I'm a good talker. I'm a Welshman. I'm a school teacher. And you can leave here with lovely thoughts in your head. But unless the spirit of God takes the words and plants them deep in your heart, my standing up here is totally vain, brothers and sisters.

I know that. And you know that. Moses cried unto God, God, unless you go with me, I am not going. Coming to chapter 33, the promise was made in verse 2. I will send an angel before you into a land filled with milk and honey.

But I will not go up in the midst of thee, for you are with a stiff-necked people. Are we a stiff-necked people? I find it quite amazing sometimes when I hear us sing some choruses, and I understand the sentiment behind them.

Lift Jesus higher. I understand that. But brothers and sisters, we can lift him no higher than his father has already lifted him. He is seated at the right hand on high. He is my King of kings, my Lord of lords.

What is required is not that I lift him higher, for I cannot lift him higher than the father has. But what is required is that I bend me lower. Evan Robertson's cry all the time for God is, God, bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me.

We are a stiff-necked people. We are not willing for God to bend us, to break us, in order that Jesus Christ might receive the glory that is his. We are a stiff-necked people. Verse 4, but when the people heard these things, they mourned, and no man put on his ornaments.

For the Lord had said to Moses, saying to the people of Israel, you are a stiff-necked people. I will come unto thee in the midst of a moment, and I will consume thee. Therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I might know what to do with thee.

And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the Mount Horeb. There was a measure of repentance there. We've heard preaching here this week on repentance. We hear that Jesus came preaching repentance.

We really do not understand much about repentance, do we? We take it as meaning, well, turn, turn from your ways. I was in Haiti about three years ago. I had the privilege of speaking at the International Church.

And on my journey back to my lodgings, we stopped off at a little village. It was a Sunday afternoon. And in this village, there were some missionaries that were want to gather every Sunday afternoon just to fellowship together, about six or eight missionaries.

And one of these missionaries worked by himself. And his ministry was that every week, he would bring three doctors in from the United States. Then he would take them up into the village where they would minister in one village to the people of that village.

And then he would bring them back and drive them into Port-au-Prince, the capital city, send them on their plane, and then pick up three more doctors for the next week. That's what he did all the time.

At the end of each week on the Friday, they would gather together in a house. And as he's telling the story, this happened the Friday before the Sunday I was there. This is just brand new news. And he said, we're in this house on the Friday.

We had our generator providing the electricity. And the men, these three doctors, were typing into their computers a report of the patients they'd worked with. And the missionary doctor then would receive these reports, file them away, so that 13 weeks later, when another team came through to take them to the same village, he would have this record for them.

They did a circuit every quarter of the year. He said, as we're in this house in the night, typing out the reports by the light of the generated lamps, they noticed a fire out of the window. And they all went to the door, and they looked up the hill.

And there on top of the hill was the fire where the village stood. Now, I tell you, brother and sister, if you ever go to Haiti, and you're driving through the country, it's quite a very, very poor country.

But the hills are where you'll find prominent houses. The houses of the witch doctors, the voodoo doctors, are always the most prominent house. It's the one set apart from the other. He is the mayor of the town.

He is the lawyer. He's the guy. He's everything. He's the priest. He's the voodoo priest. He's everything else in that village. He's the authority, the chief. And his house stands out. And the voodoo doctor's house will have banners, and buntings, and flags outside, and sometimes skulls on poles, and dead animals outside.

You can recognize them everywhere you go. And as they come out and look up the hill, they realize they get in their four-wheel vehicle, drive back up, and they realize it's the voodoo doctor's house is on fire.

And they come alongside the doctor, and he's standing by the ruins of his house. It's burning down. And they begin to commiserate with him. And he looks at them in amazement. He said, no, no. He said, I gave my life to Jesus today.

And I came home, and I gathered all these things, and I put them in the house, and I burned the house down. That's repentance. That's repentance. Have you gathered all the things and put them into the house, or have you put them into storage for gathering them back later?

He wasn't interested in coming back later. He burned his whole house down upon the lot. That's repentance. And these people made a show of repentance. And then in verse 12, Moses begins his petition. O Lord, you said to me, bring up these people.

You've not let me know who you will send me, but you've said to me, O Lord, I know thee by name. And you have found grace in my sight. And therefore, Lord, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way that I may know thee.

I've met you at the burning bush, God. I've heard you speak. I've been in awe at your holiness. I've been into Pharaoh's palace. I've seen the plagues. I've seen the opening of the Red Sea. I meet you at the mountaintop face to face.

You speak to me as a friend. You say you know my name. O God, I long to know you. How many of us would have been satisfied with any one of those revelations of God? Moses has come to a place where he has tasted God so that he is so hungry for more that all his cries is, O God, I want to know you.

That's the cry of the man or the woman who is serious about revival. I want to know you. And God says a very interesting thing back to Moses. He said these words. Well, let me come back a moment. God says my presence will go with you.

All right, Moses. I will not send an angel. I will come myself. My presence will go with you and I will bring you into my rest. There is a rest for the people of God. That is what Canaan represents. I want to bring you into my rest.

The writer Hebrews later said there remains a rest for the people of God because Joshua was not able to bring them in. Well, he brought them into Canaan, the natural earthly rest, but he had not brought them into the rest that remains for the people of God.

Let us be careful, therefore, that we fail to enter in because of unbelief. Do you want to come into the rest of God? I'm very saddened by the hymns that look at Jordan as being the crossing of death into the presence of God.

I tell you right now, brothers and sisters, Canaan was a place of giants. Canaan was a place of victories. Canaan was a place of defeat. It was where the enemy was in the land. That is the rest into which God wants to bring his people.

And he demonstrated his rest when the walls of Jericho fell down. They demonstrated their ignorance and foolishness when the AI people came and slew them because they came in their own strength. But when we come in the strength of God, that's the rest of God, when we rest from our own labors and allow God the Spirit to move in the church.

We're very good at our own labors and organizing things and doing things so much so that God doesn't need to come and we need to get out of the way so that God can do his things in our church and bring us into rest.

Resting in God’s Presence and Calling

Into rest. I was in Brazil. I met a very delightful young brother who was pastor of a small church at which I was speaking. As he picked me up and journeyed to the church, this time I was in Brazil. I've been there now four times.

I preached in one church Sunday night, Monday morning, Tuesday, Wednesday. Then I went from there to another church Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning. I did that for an entire three weeks, plus teaching youth for the mission all morning.

So you guess I was pretty hectic. Young pastor said to me, as he picked me up to take me to his church, Pastor Gareth, I'm half your age. How do you keep going? So I had to assure him I rested in the afternoon.

I lay down. I'm getting old. And he said, you know, he said, I'm so exhausted. I said, why are you exhausted? He said, well, I'm at my church every morning at 7 .30 and I don't get home till 11. I said, what are you doing at your church 7 .30 every morning?

He said, well, I'm opening it up for prayer. We have prayer every morning. Doesn't that sound good? I said, why are you there till 11 o 'clock at night every night? He said, well, I have to lock up the building after the meetings.

So I said, you're in church from 7 .30 till 11 o 'clock every night. Don't you have any brothers or sisters in your church that can help carry this burden? Aren't we all supposed to be in this ministry?

Is only the pastor supposed to be in ministry? I said, well, not really. So I said, whose church are you building, brother? He said, well, the Lord's church. I said, well, the Lord tells me that if I'm yoked together with him doing what he called me and designed me to do, that I will find the burden easy.

You're not building his church, brother. You're building your church. It's about time you develop men and women in your church. You can leave those prayer meetings and close the building up. Amen. The young man was burnt out just about doing this thing.

So I said to him, what is your burden? He said, praise and worship. And I've seen him before. He's an anointed worship leader. He said, what I'd love to do, he said, is travel around teaching people how to really come into the presence of God and praise and worship.

So I said, why are you pastoring a church? He said, well, I'm part of the big church. I just mothered this one. The senior pastor asked me to pastor this church. No question as whether that was his burden or his gift.

A year later, I went back to Fortaleza, Brazil. I asked, where is this pastor? He's now the president of that area of that church, the superintendent of that area. So he's now pushing a pen. And my heart grieved for a young man who was being bound, having his wings clipped instead of a pastor who releases his eagle to fly.

You only fly, brothers, in anointing when you function where God called you to be, with a gift in that God the Spirit places upon you. And one of the tragedies of the church today is that pastors like me are so good at putting our burdens upon people and expect them to carry our burden and wonder why they're not flying.

God says to Moses, I will go with you. I will bring you into rest. Moses said, if you don't go with me, do not carry a sense. Because if you do not go with me, how will it be known that I and my people have found favor in your sight?

What are the rest of the world going to say? What are the nations going to say when they see me coming up and you're not with me? What does America say when it looks at the church and sees that God is not evident to them?

What does it say? Well, they say nothing because they ignore you. In my country of Canada, it's even worse. The churches are almost a non-entity. Oh, we have believers. Of course they do. But the government pays no attention to them.

The media pays no attention to them. Jesus' promise was that he'd build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. I want to tell you right now, brothers and sisters, the gates of hell are prevailing against the church in Canada that we are building.

Except the pockets where there are men and women passionate about the relationship with God and allowing God to move. The Lord says to Moses, I will go with you. And Moses' cry is the cry of my heart.

Oh, God, show me your glory.

Repentance, Holiness, and Preparation

The Lord says to Moses, Moses, I cannot show you my face for you shall surely die. But I will show you my glory because I know your name and I'm going to tell you my name. The name in the scripture term speaks of the character of a man or a woman.

God says he knows your names. What he's saying is he knows who you are deep inside. When he looks, does he see faithful? Or does he see doubter? Does he see timorous? Does he see overcomer? He knows your name.

And because he knows your name, he is prepared to reveal his name, his character to you. And this is how he declares his glory. I am the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant. This is him declaring his name, his glory to the people.

And then as we come into chapter 34, I draw my thoughts to a close. The Lord sets out a process by which he's going to reveal himself to Moses. Listen to these instructions, chapter 34, sorry, chapter 33.

I'm sorry, there's 21. And the Lord said, behold, there is a place by me. You should stand there, Moses. Upon a rock. Brothers and sisters, there is a place by God. It is a rock. It is established. It is firm.

It is unshakable. It is unmovable. And that rock, says Paul, right into the Corinthian churches, Christ Jesus. And if you and I are going to know God and the revelation of God, brothers and sisters, we need to be men and women that stand upon the rock.

We are not called to stand in this world to give witness of Christ. We are called to stand in Christ and be a witness to this world. Do you think that went through? Because when we stand in Christ, when we come to the rock, Christ Jesus, when we are passed by the cross, when we come daily with our lives to lay them upon the altar, when we come and found it upon him, the world will see a difference.

We will have a testimony. God says to Moses, Moses, there is a place by me, close by me. Come and stand upon the rock. Chapter 34, verse 2. Be ready. Be ready, Moses. Be ready in the morning. Come up to me and to Mount Sinai.

Present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain and the rock. Be ready. Are you ready, brothers and sisters? If God, the Holy Spirit, should come down upon us these three days, if God, the Holy Spirit, should come down upon you this week, upon your church, are you ready?

Because when he comes, he's going to come in fire and judgment. I tell you, brothers and sisters, it's better to deal with those things now before he comes so that you are ready. We like to think a revival is going to be glory, hallelujah, clap hands, wonderful.

I tell you right now, brothers and sisters, the first thing he's going to do is going to change you and a lot of it will not be pleasant because judgment begins in the house of God. Are you ready? Be ready, Moses.

Present yourself. Here I am, God. And God looks at me and sees the prejudices, sees the pride, sees the carnality, sees how I present myself to him. And God looks and says, I'm not ready to reveal. I know your name.

I tell you, brothers and sisters, some of the results of revival that you've heard from this platform this week is that men and women get reconciled. Restitution is made for wrongs done. Brothers from different churches and denominations and emphases and styles of worship find themselves walking in unity.
