Update #1 by David at 1:33 am on Thu 10/1/2026 Father, "our fathers have told us what works You did in the past," Ps 44:1. We take as a presupposition You are no respecter of persons, and are the same yesterday, today and forever, Heb 13:8.Even though we know the Manifest Presence of God is a fearful thing, we ask You prepare our obedience to experience YOUR Holy Spirit it in a greater, weightier, degree. We're inclined to seek obedience [1], the Fruit of The Holy Spirit and humility (Knowing gifts are given, and humility is developed by suffering (David, John Baptist, Jesus, Peter, James, John, Paul), and Power of God brings a lot of "temptations" with it... It destroyed many men and women in the late 1800s until the 1950s-1960s, and gave us warnings of what to be on guard against -- fame, fortune, females -- gold, girls and glory... So we ask for The Fear of The LORD, the hatred of evil, freedom from bitterness, greed, lust and deception...
After having studied missionaries in Early Spring (David Brainerd to The Native Americans, Patrick to Ireland, Cyril and Methodius to the Slavic peoples, William Carey and Amy Carmichael to India, Hudson Taylor to China Inland, Adoniram Judson to Burma, some others to Africa (Livingstone), others to Korea (Robert Jermain Thomas), and then the Reformations and Revivals, Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox, George Whitefield, and "real" revivals (starting mid-June): 1st Great Awakening, (Whitefield, William Tennent (Founded Log College -- Became Princeton) His son, Gilbert Tennent, more the revivalist, Jonathan Edwards (THE Theologian of True and False Awakenings) and David Brainerd (Missionary Native Americans) in The Colonies (1735-1750ish)...
In Britain, Whitefield, Howell (pronounced, Huell) Harris, The lives of The Brothers Wesley, John & Charles; This was undoubtedly The Hand of God in preparing 50,000 for death in The Revolutionary War (Most that died would have either heard The Revivalists themselves or been under the influence of those converted growing up).
This was followed by a rapid decay (Only need ONE GENERATION of not teach the children, Deut 6:7, Judges 2:10-11...
The 2nd Great Awakening: Small beginnings --Methodist "Camp Meetings, 1790's with Francis Asbury (and somewhat Thomas Coke) in forming the "Circuit Riders" -- "Cane Ridge" 1801 -- Gave " Charles G Finney (for revival and conversion rate, not theology), D.L. Moody, MANY others in U.S. and Spurgeon, George Müller, William and Catherine Booth and others in The UK and Northern Ireland, and The revival in Wales, 1904, (Evan Roberts & Others), Azusa Street, 1906, (William Seymour & Others), and most recently The Revival in Lewis, Heberdes, N.W. Scotland, 1949 (Chiefly Duncan Campbell and Others) -- I came to see the manifest presence of God is granted by "strict obedience and consecration" (Jesus, Garden, "I AM HE" they fell backwards, John 18:6, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever, Heb 13:8, works He did shall we do also, John 14:12, as in Acts in Upper Room (rushing Mighty Wind while they were all together in prayer, Acts 2:1-42) and after being threatened in Acts 4 where the place was shaken., Ananias & Saphira fell dead, Acts 5?... God bless in Jesus' Name, John 1:16, Eph 1:17-19, Eph 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3-7...
Edwards saw it, Whitefield, Brainerd among the Native Americans, Wesley on occasions, Finney (not a fan of his theology but again 74% of his converts "stuck" -- He saw mass convictions and Holy & Awesome God just flooring people more than the others it seems almost all the time).
We believe God can and will do it again. Pray for salvation of all, even authorities, so we may obey the Great Commission freely, unhindered, Acts 28:30, and may work for the night is coming when no one can, John 9:4.
Protection from temptation, Lk 11:4, temptation and evil, Matt 6:13, sin, wrongdoing, lies, fear, Zeph 3:13, 2 Cor 13:7, 1 Cor 8:1, greed, 1 Tim 6:6, evil people, 2 Tim 3:5, w Thes 3:2, Deceivers, 2 Tim 3:13, Tit 1:16, Deception and false prophets, Matt 24:4-14, persecution Rev 12:4-17, false signs, wonders, false "christs," 2 Cor 11:14-15, 2 Thes 2:8-10, 1 Jn 2:8, 1 Jn 4:3, Rev 13:13-14
[1]Duncan Campbell says it's essential to real conviction and deep repentance, underlines strict obedience to God's voice, Wesley saw it as well as Whitefield and Brainerd, but also Wesley's "follow up methods" (gained from rubbing shoulders with Zinzendorf and the Moravians who formed small groups called "Banden" (Bands), Wesley duplicated that w/ "societies" and gained not only his and his fellow Methodists -- but also many of Whitefield's & Harris' converts (since they latter two were more evangelists, while Wesley was more an "apostolic figure" moving in Evangelism, Church Planter & Organizer, Teaching, Pastoring -- all quite freely).
