Do It Again Lord

In the summer of 2010 I experienced a move of God I will never forget. Revival for twenty-three straight days. Dozens of people were saved. We were all drawn closer to God. Times of worship were sweet as young and old sang alike. I blogged about every single one of those days. I intend to go back and read them later.

I am preaching a revival for Brock Baptist Church this week. Tonight is supposed to be the last night but I wonder if God has other plans. God is doing something. There have not been any people saved but the work of God among His people has been deep. People have come to the altar each service. The love of the people for one another is evident. Many were under deep conviction last night. I sensed the presence of the Lord in the music and while preaching. I am not convinced God will accomplish all He wants to do tonight. It feels like we are just getting warmed up.

I wonder if God would do something as wonderful as I saw in Seminole back in August of 2010. I have prayed diligently for this revival since they scheduled the meeting. My heart is full of revival thoughts and prayers. O how I plead that God would do it again.

After the funeral service for Salvation Army Founder, William Booth, somebody was coming back in to close up the church. One person remained at the altar praying in tears. Over and over again the prayer warrior prayed this prayer, "Do it again Lord! Do it again Lord! Do it again Lord!" They were asking God to raise up another mighty preacher and soul winner like William Booth. Do it again Lord.

I had the privilege of going to Pensacola, FL for the Brownsville revival back in the 90's on two different occasions. I will never forget arriving at the parking lot around 6:00 a.m. and dozens of people were already standing in line to get into the service that night. Those people waited twelve hours in the hot sun to get into that revival service and that took place every day. That revival started on a Father's day and lasted for around three years. They had a banner hanging up in their sanctuary that simply read, "More Lord!"

That is my heart for the revival in Brock. "Do it again Lord. More Lord." Would you pray with us as we meet tonight and discern God's plans after tonight.
