There's a precious quietness in God's glory here
tonight.
Tonight there's to be a prayer meeting, and
everything I was going to preach died on
me.
The preaching brought revival, we'd had it twenty
years ago.
In every chapter of the book of Acts
they prayed except for two, and in those
two chapters they were in trouble.
Paul said in Philippians, in everything by prayer.
D.
M.
Patton said, prayer is God the Spirit talking
to God the Father in the name of
God the Son, and the believer's heart is
his prayer closet.
Prayer is the most highly, holiest, trembling activity
a man or woman or child could ever
engage themselves in.
We hear much of a George Whitfield that
God used mightily in this nation in the
1700s, and yet we don't hear much of
his prayer life.
But he had a tremendous prayer life.
I believe he took 2 Chronicles 7, 14
seriously.
As does our heart cry tonight here, where
God said, if my people who are called
by my name shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, we're not here to
seek revival.
We're here to seek his face, and turn
from his wicked ways.
Then, then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin, and will heal their
land.
So work it backwards.
Our land needs healing.
In the Old Testament they had denied their
Lord.
They defied his law.
They had defiled the land.
And God withdrew his glory, and they tried
to bring it back a way that wasn't
God's ordained way, to bring back the Ark
of the Covenant back to the place of
God's residence.
And Uzzah stretched forth his hand to stabilize
it.
God struck him dead instantly.
Why?
It wasn't the pattern that God had laid
out to bring the glory back to the
place of his people.
And our God is a holy and a
jealous God.
And those that try to bring the glory
of God back any other way, except through
the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ,
are absolutely doomed to failure.
God said, if my people, historically it's Israel,
practically it's me.
It's you.
It's each one of us.
It's not the person sitting behind us, or
in front of us, or someone who wasn't
here tonight.
It's not somebody who's backslidden and barely...
No, no, no, no.
If my people, those who have laid hold
of my name, that he is Yahweh, he
is Jehovah, and we've embraced that name, and
he's embraced us, if we may apprehend that
for which we have been apprehended.
And God has laid hold of many of
us in salvation.
Me at seven years old, when God got
a hold of my heart and life and
showed me I was a religious sinner in
need of a savior, that my daddy being
a preacher wouldn't get me to heaven, that
my praying mama wouldn't get me to heaven,
that my praying grandparents would not get me
to heaven, I had to come through that
door myself.
And it began with a relationship with Jesus
Christ.
In Oxnard, California, God broke me and smattered
me and smashed me, and even at seven
years old, I knew I was a sinner
headed straight for hell without Jesus.
I trembled that night and broke in the
pew of that church way back in the
back, and I stepped out, and right there
in the pew, I said, yes, Jesus, I'm
a sinner, God, forgive me.
God, cleanse me.
Jesus, Jesus, you died on the cross for
my sins.
You rose from the dead for my sins.
You're not dead, you're living, Jesus.
I come to you in faith, oh God,
forgive me, cleanse me.
Come into my life, be my Lord, be
my God and Savior.
And on the spot, he saved me.
And my life changed.
He saved me from the penalty of sin
he bore for me.
He saved me from the power of sin.
I'm crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live.
Yet not I, but Christ lives in me.
And the life which I now live in
the flesh, I live with the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me and
gave himself for me.
And to say with Paul, to live, Christ,
and to die is gain.
Beloved, the Christian life is not a difficult
life, it's an impossible life.
No one ever could live it but Jesus.
No one can live it but Jesus.
Only he will live it as we walk
by faith in the indwelling Christ to live
in us the life that he is.
It is simply to the believer, his deity
clothed with our humanity.
That is Christianity.
You and I can no more live the
Christian life.
You and I can no more do anything
apart from the grace of God.
But I love what Alan Redpath used to
say, and my mentor and father in the
faith Stephen Oldford used to say, and men
of God of years gone by, I'm sure
the A.T. Persons and all the great
men and women of God have said this.
That every demand that God makes on your
life, every command God gives you, he gives
you with it the dynamic to do what
he says to do.
Stretch forth your hand!
But I've never been able to!
Stretch forth your hand!
It happened!
Fill the water pots with water.
Every command Jesus gives, he gives us the
dynamic to do it in the power and
grace of the Holy Spirit of Almighty God.
So when God says, as far as the
pathway of revival, if my people who are
called by my name shall humble themselves.
I pity the man, woman, person who ceases
hearing the voice of God.
I feel for the one who once walked
with God, and the glory was on their
life, but they let sin creep into their
life somewhere.
And all of a sudden, prayer is not
real anymore.
Jesus is not real anymore.
Christianity is not real anymore.
Worship is not real anymore.
And they've lost the glow of their faith
in Jesus Christ.
I don't know why.
It could just be a valley that God's
taking them through.
It could be like the golden eagle.
God's taking them through a molting stage.
Someday I'll tell you about that.
Where they lose their feathers.
They go to a high place in the
mountains.
They once soared high with God.
And it may be you've not sinned.
It's not something necessarily wrong.
But God's taking you through a process where
those golden eagles only eat live animals.
Golden eagles only eat dead animals.
And God takes you to a place where
once you soared with him.
But all of a sudden, you can't hunt
like you once hunted.
You can't work like you once worked.
All of a sudden, the glow is gone
anymore.
And you go, God, what is it?
I don't know what it is.
But God takes you through that process of
the golden eagle.
Where they pluck out their own feathers.
Like you and I pulling our fingernails out.
But over a season of time, what happens?
The older eagles who have already gone through
it.
They fly.
And they come down.
And they dive bomb.
And they drop fresh meat at the feet
of the eagles.
Going through a molting stage.
And the cry of a man I know
about who watched this process happen.
He said, the cry is this.
Eat.
Turn eagle.
Eat.
You've got to eat that bread.
Eat that food.
Eat it.
Because if you don't eat, you will die.
And some here, maybe tonight or this week,
are going to be here.
Maybe their very usefulness is hinged upon the
fact that they take some morsel of what
somebody says.
Or some song somewhere.
And they say, oh God, that's for me.
I need that.
And it transforms a life.
And they go back home.
Transformed by the person of Jesus Himself.
Give my people the pathway they will humble
themselves.
That means I bend the knee.
That's what it literally means.
You ever been so hungry for God to
do something?
You said, God, I don't care anymore about
what I've ever thought in the past.
Lord, I don't care.
It's like you lose your appetite for anything
and everything except the glory of Almighty God.
That's all you want.
Is the glory.
You read about it in God using Whitefield.
He would stand as I was in Exeter,
New Hampshire last fall.
In Exeter, he stood out there by the
dirt roadside at the time.
And the field across and four thousand people
there.
And they put two barrels together.
And they put a board across the barrels.
And these men would take George Whitefield.
And he was so feeble and sick with
asthma.
And as they began to lift him up
onto the plank, one man said to Whitefield,
you look more ready for death than life.
He said, yes, but I'd rather wear out
than rust out.
And they held him up onto that plank.
And he stood there on September 29th at
about 2 or 3 or 4 in the
afternoon.
Could you just imagine the breeze blowing?
Probably a gentle breeze blowing through.
Could you imagine the wind rustling through the
tree leaves?
And people are gathered around.
And there's such a holy solemnity.
The people just stay and they sit and
they stand in silence waiting for the man
of God to speak.
And Whitefield got up on that plank.
And he stood there and held his Bible.
And the man of God stood there and
didn't say a word.
He just stood there and stood there waiting
and waiting and waiting.
I'll tell you what he was doing.
He said later, he said, what I do
is I stand before the people and I
wait for the hand of God to come
upon me before I ever open my mouth
and preach.
And he preached to 4,000 people.
And tears would stream down their faces as
Whitefield would preach.
Why?
God's sovereign, yes, but Whitefield was a man
who knew how to humble himself and get
on his knees and say, O God, I
can't do this.
I can't do this.
I'm weak.
I'm about to die.
I'm not going to make it.
I can barely breathe.
But O God, if you will give me
your divine assistance, I'll stand once again and
preach until the day I die.
And God looked upon that broken, beat up,
battered, war-torn saint of God.
And the hand of God came down upon
George Whitefield and a strength would come into
him.
And his voice was a little weak for
a while there in Exeter.
But all of a sudden, his strength began
to grow and grow and grow and grow.
And God filled the man of God as
he preached the word of the living God.
That's what America needs again.
And the world.
We want to go to our little internet
on Saturday night and find some sermon somewhere.
God's looking for somebody at church.
Somebody who will say, O God, I take
your word.
I open this blessed book.
I get on my knees like Matthew Henry.
And I read your word on my knees.
Whitefield, I read your word on my knees.
Praying place in Portland, at the side of
his bed, there were two grooves in the
floor about six inches long where he would
pray and rock back and forth on that
floor and pray and pray and pray and
pray.
And the glory of God came down.
Don't sit or stand or listen and say,
David, this is 2009.
That doesn't happen today.
Oh, yes, it does.
In my own life, God broke me.
He smashed me, Pastor Brown.
God tore me up.
And he took me to the back side
of the desert.
You don't preach.
You don't sing.
You don't do anything.
You get alone with me.
And God would call me out to the
deserts of Arizona at night time.
And I'd turn the light on in my
car.
And I'd have a Bible in one hand
and Arthur Wallace's book in the other hand.
And God would break my heart in prayer.
Oh, God, you promised it here.
You did it here.
Do it again.
Oh, God, you promised it here.
You did it here.
Do it again.
Oh, God.
There was a space of about two years
where I hardly ever got to bed before
four or five o'clock in the morning
because God had called to the place of
prayer because God wanted to come in great
revival at a place in Arizona.
God broke my heart in life.
And there was a fresh encounter with the
living Christ during that season.
And all of a sudden it happened in
one church, another church, another church.
We'd begin meetings and they'd go four months
in one church.
Four months.
We'd come to that place.
We'd come and people would come and get
in the altar before the service ever began.
And God would just show up.
I can't tell you how many times we
started the service before seven o'clock because
God had already come.
And, beloved, when God comes like that and
you go for hour after hour after hour
it seems like only 10 or 20 minutes
and you look at the clock and it's
10 o'clock it's 11 o'clock or
it's midnight and you had no idea so
much time had passed by because God had
come.
Leaving there to another place.
One night in one place over 300 people
the audience was only a little over 500
over 300 people in a message that was
only 10 or 15 minutes long when God's
on the scene it don't take 45 minutes
over 300 responded to give their hearts to
Jesus.
Jesus' people weeping broke Him in repentance when
God comes.
So how do we approach Him?
I bend my knees we bend our knees
and we pray that literally means to judge
oneself it's self judging it means that I
call sin what Jesus calls sin in my
life it's not morbid introspection let me ask
somebody here a question are you tired of
not seeing God show up in His glory
maybe in your church or somewhere that you
know about beloved that's exactly where God will
bring you and I to that place that
we're sick and tired of living without the
glory of God and God says what will
you do about it He said I promised
you if you humble yourself and pray and
seek my face God's seeking and turn from
your wicked ways of self repenting He said
that's the pathway but I'm not so sure
let me say this clearly and if you'll
hear the words I hope this is clear
now I don't believe this is so much
a prescription for revival as much as it
is a description of revival earlier in the
chapter they had prayed the glory of God
fell on the place God gave the word
of my people who are called by my
name will humble themselves how
many have come to the point maybe time
and time again when you say oh God
maybe I really don't know how to seek
your face I have the God I hear
about prayer and I read about David Brainerd
we were David Brainerd's gravesite last fall as
well looking at that gravesite where that man
of God would pray about 96 or so
pounds he would witness to the Susquehanna Indians
up there in the north eastern part of
the US and it was said that he
would go out sometimes in the morning and
he would kneel down in the snow and
by the evening the snow had melted all
around where he was kneeling in the snow
because the heat of his body from fervent
praying and prayer had melted the snow all
around him we hear about Charles Grandison Finney
and that's well but have we ever heard
of a man named Daniel Nash Daniel Nash
another man we used to travel ahead of
Charles Finney they'd find a room somewhere in
a house or somewhere just to pray because
Finney was going to come and please don't
anyone sit don't anyone sit back and throw
a rock at me because I use the
name Finney I don't care what you do
or don't believe about Finney just forget that
Daniel Nash was a man of prayer God
can use a donkey listen, listen, listen let
me say this if we would get over
our critical spirits in the church and
quit dissecting everyone around us you don't cut
your pie like I do and all of
a sudden you're out there all by yourself
and what you start saying is this well
at least we're pure maybe you're not maybe
you're just a Pharisee if my Bible tells
me it does that the fields are wide
already in the harvest Jesus said to dub
their eyes the fields are wide already in
the harvest He said the harvest is plentiful
but the labors are few that it's not
an issue that we're more holy than anybody
else it's an issue we're not going out
there to get them either he did or
didn't say it either it's a lie or
it's the truth we know it's the truth
I asked a pastor a friend of mine
in Arizona we were leaving the Christian bookstore
he talked about how horrible it is in
churches nowadays and how things are just playing
off or declining and not going as they
should I said brother let me ask you
a question he said well certainly I said
of all the pastor friends you know don't
get me wrong I love pastors I was
one and one I'm one whatever it is
I used to pastor a church I love
pastors I didn't used to like them when
I was a kid I didn't like them
at all they'd come in with their hair
sprayed hair you know and look like they
thought they were just I just didn't like
them I wanted to go up to them
and go like this mess their hair but
there were some godly ones but I asked
him just one question I said brother can
I ask you a question about all your
pastor friends I said not critical I'm just
curious sure go ahead I said of all
the pastors you know how many of them
are soul winners he stopped I said I
guess I can only think of one I
said then whose fault is it gods or
ours I said the great commission is still
in the book Jesus said oh it's getting
quiet in here now maybe what God wants
us to do God allows the declension in
churches all over the place in order to
bring us each one of us all of
us to a deeper sense of desperation and
hunger for God to show up and show
out and do something you say David I've
tried I've handed out tracts I've done this
I've done that some of you are doing
everything God's called you to do but that's
not the majority probably someone said to me
recently they knew someone who was praying for
persecution to come to America because the church
in China is so pure and other countries
and people are dying for the faith so
they're praying fervently for persecution to come to
America to purify the church I don't know
about you I never once prayed for my
daddy to give me a spanking if I
had it coming to me I got it
I never went and asked him for it
I believe revival can come through either desperation
or devastation or persecution I'd rather it be
through desperation wouldn't you God said but if
you'll humble yourself and pray and seek my
face and turn from your wicked ways and
promise I'll hear from heaven I'll forgive your
sin I'll heal your land Jesus
taught the disciples to walk with him before
he said go work and then he said
tarry in this city of Jerusalem until you
be endued with power from on high and
I believe one of the means and reasons
we come together for a week like this
is to by faith believing in prayer wait
upon God and to seek the face of
God for a fresh empowerment of his Holy
Spirit Amen I close and we'll go to
prayer with a story I read years ago
the evangelist was preaching in Detroit or somewhere
up north man came to him before the
service he said will you talk to me
after the service tonight he said well I'll
be glad to and the man left the
men of the church came to him and
said what did that man want he said
he wanted to talk to me when the
service was over they said don't go with
him he's a dangerous man he said no
I told him I'm gonna go I'm gonna
go and sure enough the man met him
after the service was over and they walked
down the street it was in the city
they walked down an alley and the man
took his keys out and unlocked the door
in the alley of some business opened the
door and walked in and turned around locked
the door behind him turned back around and
pulled the gun out he said I have
to ask you a question he said well
what was it he said did you mean
what you said last night in your sermon
he said I don't remember exactly what did
I say he said you said the blood
of Jesus Christ God's son cleanses from all
sin and sin he said yes sir it
does he said see this gun he said
yeah he said I've killed many with this
gun can God forgive a man for sin
like that he said sir the blood of
Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin he said
sir across this wall I have a gambler's
saloon I have gambling over on the other
wall over here it's hidden the police don't
know they come for raids and we clear
out real quick and turn things around he
said I've had men come in here they've
left my business here they've come in they're
alcoholics and I get what I don't what
money I don't get from them over here
on the drinking and beer I have every
table rigged I get all the money over
there he said wives have come in my
store my place here with their children begging
me not to sell beer to their husband
anymore and I've ran them off he said
I've been a miserable mean man can God
forgive a man for sin like that he
said sir the blood of Christ cleanses from
all sin and shame he said sir one
last thing and I'll let you go he
said about 15 years ago I went to
New York City met a beautiful woman told
her I was a businessman back here in
Detroit persuaded her to marry me and brought
her home and we got married and she
didn't know it was this kind of business
and I've given her nothing but misery all
the years we've been married he said two
weeks ago I went home and my wife
and I got in a fight and my
daughter Maggie tried to get in the way
to stop us from fighting and I slapped
my daughter out of the way I came
home drunk again and I live in the
house he said catty corner from this corner
on the other corner is where I live
that house over there he said my daughter
I knocked her down and she fell on
the floor furnace in the hallway remember the
old floor furnaces she fell down on that
and she scarred herself from her wrist to
her shoulder she'll be scarred for life he
said I'm horrible God forgive a man for
sin like that he said sir you have
a grim story to tell but the blood
of Jesus Christ God's son cleanses from all
sin he said thank you sir that's all
I wanted to know I unlocked the door
and let him out about seven o'clock
the next morning the man his shirt tail
was all out he was sweaty disheveled tear
stained eyes he began to walk across to
his home but go back to that saloon
and those gambling tables he had broken every
bottle in the place the cards laid smoldering
in the fireplace he had torn over and
pushed over and destroyed every table in that
whole place how it had ruined and shattered
his life he thought it was the promise
of peace and it wasn't he walked in
his house across the street his wife was
making breakfast he began to go up the
stairs his wife said Maggie honey go up
and tell daddy breakfast is ready to come
on back down he's ready she ran upstairs
and daddy had already gone to the bedroom
and daddy had sit in his big sofa
chair he looked up and saw Maggie at
the door and he said Maggie Maggie darling

she ran back downstairs mama mama mama daddy
called me darling I'm a father at this
time and Maggie ran on her head and
Maggie got to the door and daddy said
Maggie I'm not going to hurt you sweetheart

her on his leg and just put his
arms around his girl and hugged her and
hugged her his wife hit the door and

prayers of your children thank you for the
prayers of a young girl such sweet music
Lord thank you for the sounds of love
rising up to you father you were saying
a while ago come by here come to
your people
how will the world find you we really
need you we your church really need you
to come by here and maybe we think
sometimes we might think we need you to
show us what to do but father we
just need you to come and fill us
if you come here and fill us it
doesn't matter really where we go or what
we do everywhere we go you'll be going
everything we touch you'll be touching so we
just need you to come William Macdonald
he spoke about we want
you to so come to us father we
need you to so come to us that
we learn dependence on you we learn to
walk in dependence on you he talked about
the crisis of dependence coming to a point
where every moment of our day is a
crisis of dependence on you Lord that's what
it means to walk with you it means
like our brother prayed a few minutes ago
that we can't do the things we're doing
in our life unless you're with us and
doing them through us we cannot do them
Lord yeah I ask you to teach us
to walk in the crisis of dependence I
ask you to keep teaching me how if
there's anything in my life that I can
do without Christ it's not worth doing please
grow that spirit of dependence because you told
us Lord unless we become as little children
we would not see the kingdom we would
not enter the kingdom children are so good
at being dependent please make us like children
Lord we ask these things we're
so dependent on you to
be like what we heard tonight to be
people that are consumed with your glory that
walk that way to your church once again
around the nations that cast
ourselves and other dependents we have no backup
plan we have nothing else Father and in
desperation we choose to cry out to you
we have nothing else to do and we
say give us a cross take us wherever
you want to take us Father if only
you can glorify your name once again as
you have in days gone by Father while
we intercede for this town and we intercede
for this church my God and that this
is great Father it is not enough for
just a little stirring in a church somewhere
God it's time for you to hit a
nation with your presence God that you would
pour out your glory once again in this
land on this sleeping church my God oh
please God for your glory's sake won't you
come once again God we will not let
you go we cannot let you go till
you come we have nothing else we have
no other plan we've seen the futility of
flesh the folly of organization trying to accomplish
the work of the Holy Spirit we've witnessed
it from our youth and we're tired of
it and we're sick of it and we
want something real once again my God oh
please God for your glory's sake not even
for our sake God though we want to
see you move though we want to have
the joy of your presence for the sake
of your dear son Jesus is it right
that his name is such a curse word
in this land God is it right is
it right that there's steeples all over the
city while crime goes unpunished and babies are
slaughtered is that right it is not right
God it is not right that this nation
has the name of a Christian nation yet
is defiling the world with its entertainment and
smocks oh God bring holiness and righteousness once
again my God start with the people that
are called by you do what we cannot
do like our brother says we can pound
ball pits we can do so many things
God but you must come in a mighty
outpouring of your presence God if you would
do that I know sinners would cry out
for mercy I know it Lord like you've
done in days gone by like we've read
in your holy scriptures in history we will
not let you go we cannot we have
nothing else there's nothing else will work God
will bring us through nothing we have no
other plans so it's all we can do
years ago
he said if God doesn't come in 10
years we're done and it shows God give
us a revelation yes Lord and take away
those things that hinder God cause us to
be fit to be alive wash us God
make us real God for Jesus formally
dismissed those who want to stay couldn't stay
but were formally dismissed so God bless you
just like to
