THE WELSH REVIVAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 - The Fire Begins in 1904 one of the greatest revivals in history broke out in Wales, a small principality of the British Isles. There have been a few spiritual awakenings in history to span the globe and touch millions, but it can be argued that none had as much concentrated power and impact as the Welsh Revival. It seems that the Lord looked down upon Wales and said, "I am going to show the church and the world what I can do with just a handful of faithful saints who will yield themselves to Me." The results of that demonstration still send shock waves of conviction and hope to all who hear the story. Evan Roberts was the most popular evangelist of the Welsh Revival. He is also one of the more enigmatic figures in church history. Roberts was not a dynamic leader of people. He did not come with new doctrines, nor was he even considered a good preacher. He came as a great example of a dynamic follower of the Lord, encouraging the church to be a proper host to the Holy Spirit. As both 10the Scriptures and history testify, the more yielded that we are to the Holy Spirit, the more He will use us. Evan Roberts must be considered one of the greatest examples of a vessel yielded to the Holy Spirit. As the news of the Welsh Revival spread around the world, some of the great preachers and spiritual leaders of the time came to witness it. Some called it a "Pentecost greater than Pentecost." Many of these leaders came thinking that they could give direction and leadership to this new movement. There was a concern that such a great revival was being run by teenagers and even children. Evan Roberts was only in his mid-twenties and most of the evangelists and workers in the revival were in fact teenagers and children. But when these great and renowned preachers arrived in Wales, they were so impacted by the presence of the Holy Spirit that they sat dumb and mute before Him and the children He had chosen. In the presence of this revival it was quickly understood that the Lord Himself was in control, and that He alone would choose whom He would use for His work. When the glory of the Lord fills His temple all flesh and presumption flees! This was to be a hallmark of the Welsh Revival. Great knowledge and eloquence bowed the knee to love and pure devotion just as the "unlearned and untrained" apostles had stood before the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. One of the great preachers of that era, G.Campbell Morgan, testified that he would trade all of his learning for even a portion of the presence of God that accompanied these children. This was the common response as great pulpiteering, or the great leadership ability to mobilize people for projects, seemed pale and insignificant in the presence of the anointing. - Rick Joyner - Spiritual Notes #JESUSSAVES #RevivalNight
