Indeed, Evan Roberts was a great revivalist who held the keys of spiritual awakening.
He pioneered a tremendous move of the Spirit of God in Wales. However, forty years later,
not a trace of this revival could be found in his homeland. It would remain as only a memory in the hearts of those who experienced it.
But, why just"a memory"?
Because one man can't carry the weight of revival alone. He can lead a move of God,
but the people also have their part to play. If a move of God fades away, it is partly because
the people never continued in what they received. So we are in error if we solely blame the leader.
There are a multitude of unanswered questions cirding Evan Roberts' life. Some believe Evan was ordained by God for a two-year public ministry, then was called to spend the rest of his life in worldwide prayer and intercession. If this were totally true, I believe he would have died a happy man. But dark and depressing poetry was found written in his journals. In his sixties, he wondered if there was any purpose left in his life. His reaction was a mixture of "personal loss, loneliness, and failure."* lt seemed he continually searched for the part he was to play.
I believe Evan Roberts carried the spiritual truths that would shake the world, but those truths were only in his heart It seemed he could never find the keys to emotional strength. Evan wanted his personality to fade into the shadows and he said repeatedly, "I do not want to be seen." Yet, in my opinion, the
weakness of his emotional disposition caused him to be seen more than if he had taken his place in the authoritative leadership that comes in the move of God.
.
To carry the weight that comes with leading a revival especially for a nation--all three parts of the human being- spirit, soul, and body-must be made strong. So as we can see from his life, there is more to revival than spiritual revelation. Spiritual hunger and revelation are always where it begins. But we are more than spiritual beings. The human body and emotions must be strong through the Word of God in order to maintain revival in the earth. Your work for God doesn't have to fail or be cut short. Strengthen your body, season your soul, and yield your spirit to the plan of God. You can have revival in your nation and run with it successfully!
