I love the Huntley boys. Great men of God. But, this message fell very short of its promised objective.
There was a heavy emphasis on WHAT WE NEED but frustrated expectations of HOW to have that revival...unless of course, the idea is to juke and jive.
It appears to me that more and more preachers are not so much interested in zeroing in on substantive objectives but more to draw forth enthusiastic responses from appreciative audiences with spiritual rhetoric. It is a shame that so many have now become addicted to audience response. Reminds me of cotton candy...a lot of fluff but very little substance.
He spend almost the entire message in underscoring what he felt the NEED was after defining the differences between Evangelism and Revival but never really answer the question concerning how to have a REVIVAL.
Few would disagree with what the NEED is. I think we all know THAT. But hey...I like to juke and jive too, even though the old bones are a little rusty. There is a certain kind of preaching that will get 'em going everytime...for sure. Some are masters at it.
I just felt you needed another touch from the Lord.

I do think my generation(the twenty somethings) need to hear more about the actual requirements for revival. Thankfully, we've reached a lot of non-Pentecostal backgrounds and a lot of them I talk too don't understand things like Thurs.,Fri.,Sat. fasts for church on Sundays or one and two hour prayer meetings before church on a Sunday night.
I've found that a lot my age group thinks you walk in at church time and never think about the service before hand and everything be fine. Consequently, we wonder why our churches are dry and dead. Details, details, details are always great on how to do something right for God.
Like one preacher said, "I can cast the devil out of him. But, if not, I can cast him AND the devil out." :
Well, actually if they had the correct smiley the hand would be coming DOWN onto the top of your head with such force as to knock the sin (and snot) out of you!
