The Last Great Revival Before the Return of Christ

Theme: When God Awakens Nations Before the King Appears
Scripture Anchor: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” — Acts 2:17

Before the trumpet sounds and Christ returns in glory, Scripture declares there will be a mighty outpouring of the Spirit—a revival unlike any before. This revival is not confined to one nation or generation; it is global, sweeping across cultures, ages, and denominations. It is the final awakening, preparing the Bride for the Bridegroom.

Acts 2:17 establishes the principle: the last days are marked by a Spirit‑outpouring. Joel’s prophecy fulfilled at Pentecost points forward to a greater fulfillment before Christ’s return. Revival is heaven’s strategy to gather souls and purify the Church before the King comes.

The last great revival represents:
- Outpouring: God’s Spirit poured on all flesh.
- Harvest: Multitudes brought into the kingdom.
- Purification: The Bride made ready.
- Unity: Believers across nations joined in one Spirit.
- Testimony: Evidence of God’s power before the end.

The struggle manifests as:
- Opposition: Satanic resistance to awakening.
- Deception: False teachings to distract.
- Persecution: Pressure against the faithful.
- Complacency: Hearts asleep in comfort.
- Testing: Faith refined in fire.

- Revival is not hype—it is holy transformation.
- The last revival is not man‑made—it is Spirit‑driven.
- Opposition is not victory—it is proof of God’s movement.

From heaven’s view, the last great revival is the Bride’s final preparation. God pours His Spirit to awaken, purify, and empower His people. Heaven rejoices as nations turn, because it signals the nearness of Christ’s appearing.

What the Last Revival Produces
- Repentance: Hearts broken before God.
- Holiness: Lives set apart.
- Power: Signs, wonders, and miracles.
- Unity: Barriers broken among believers.
- Harvest: Souls gathered for eternity.

Signs the Last Revival Is Stirring
1. Global hunger: Nations crying out for truth.
2. Youth rising: Sons and daughters prophesying.
3. Supernatural manifestations: Visions, dreams, and miracles.
4. Persecution increasing: Resistance against the faithful.
5. Bride awakening: Church purified for the Bridegroom.

Assignment for Believers
- Prepare your heart: Repent and consecrate yourself.
- Seek His Spirit: Cry out for fresh outpouring.
- Reject complacency: Do not sleep in comfort.
- Stand boldly: Endure opposition with faith.
- Magnify Christ: Exalt Him as the Coming King.

Beloved, the last great revival before the return of Christ is not a distant dream—it is heaven’s promise. Do not let distraction or fear rob you of participation. His Spirit is your fire, His word is your anchor, and His coming is your hope. Awaken, for the final revival is rising, and the King is at the door.

On September 30, 2020, I saw in a vision of something I could not shake.

A swarm of flaming locusts sweeping across the globe.

Not cute. Violent swarm carried by the wind.

Not symbolic in some shallow religious way.

It was violent in purity.
Ordered in movement.
Terrifying in holiness.

A living picture of a people seized by God and carried by wind.

Then I heard the Lord say:

“Even so must My people be. Prepare. Make ready. For there comes a final mighty wind of My Spirit to launch you as a flaming army.”

I have carried that word for years.
Quietly.
Carefully.
Soberly.

Because not every vision is meant to be posted the moment it is seen.

Some things must sit in the fear of the Lord long enough to burn the pride out of the messenger.

And I am saying this now with trembling:

I believe the time of preparation is narrowing.

God is not raising up a casual people for a casual hour.

He is not gathering performers.
He is not anointing ambition.
He is not breathing on religious noise.

He is preparing a people who know how to wait until the wind comes.

Because locusts do not move alone.
They move in swarms.
They move by timing.

They move with a force greater than themselves.

And when the wind takes them, what was hidden becomes unstoppable.

That is what I believe the Spirit of God is doing in the earth.

He is forming a flaming army in the secret place.

Not famous people.
Faithful people.

Not polished people.
Prepared people.

Not people addicted to platforms.
People who have been burned clean at the altar.

This is not the hour for borrowed oil.
This is not the hour for loud mouths and empty lamps.

This is not the hour to jump because something looks exciting.

This is the hour to discern the wind of God.

To know when to wait.
To know when to move.
To know when to leap.

Jeremiah 51:10–16 speaks of the Lord bringing forth His righteousness and calling His people to declare His work.

Nahum 3:14–17 speaks of preparation, siege, fire, locusts, and scattering.

There is a pattern here for those with ears to hear.

Preparation before release.
Fire before movement.
Discernment before assignment.
Formation before harvest.
And hear me clearly:

The darkness we are called to confront must first be burned out of us.

Because an unpurified vessel cannot carry holy fire without turning it into strange fire.

So I am praying this again.

Lord, prepare us.

Strip the laziness out of us.
Burn the compromise out of us.
Deliver us from spiritual performance.

Teach us to discern what is You and what is only noise wearing Your language.

Give us timing to jump so the wind can take us
Give us obedience.
Give us holy fire.

Let the mighty wind of Your Spirit come upon a prepared people.

Make us one body.
One swarm.
One flaming army.

Not to be seen.
To be sent.

Not to make a name.
To bear Your name.
Not to destroy people.
To destroy darkness.
Not to consume souls with control.

To gather souls into the harvest of Jesus Christ.

This is not hype.
This is warning.
This is preparation.

This is the sound before the wind.

I’ve seen enough to stay awake.
I love enough to warn.
I fear God enough to speak.

This is THE WATCH

DID YOU KNOW?
MERCY PREVAILED.

SABBATH OBSERVERS WERE SPARED AS UGANDA'S NATIONAL CLEANING DAY UNFOLDED.

Government Grants Last-Minute Exemption, But Questions Remain As Enforcement Intensifies Across the Country

The first National Cleaning Day has come and gone, leaving in its wake a landscape of sweeping enforcement, scattered arrests, and a profound relief for thousands of Seventh-day Adventists who had feared the sacred Sabbath would be consumed by civic obligation. What emerged was not the crisis many had anticipated, but rather a demonstration of how religious liberty, when pressed, can still find room to breathe, even if only by the narrowest of margins.

As the sun rose over Uganda on Saturday, July 25, the government's mandatory three-hour cleaning directive took effect across the nation. Security personnel sealed off major routes, vehicles were brought to a standstill, and businesses remained shuttered. In Mukono, the enforcement was described as possessing “unusual firmness,” with security forces linking arms with locals to refuse passage to every vehicle, including official ones. In Wakiso, traffic officers mounted roadblocks, and people who refused to comply found themselves in confrontations with police. In Greater Iganga, several individuals were arrested for failing to comply with the directive. The message was clear: this was not a suggestion but a command.

Yet amid this landscape of compulsion, a remarkable exception was made.

Following urgent consultations with the Office of the Prime Minister, NRM Deputy Secretary General Rosemary Namayanja issued a statement that would prove decisive for the Adventist community. “Following consultations with the Office of the Prime Minister regarding Cabinet Circular No. 1 of 2026 on National Cleaning Days, I wish to inform our Seventh-day Adventist brothers and sisters that they may proceed to worship Saturday, 25 July, without hindrance.” Adventists across the country were free to attend worship services, to gather in fellowship, to devote themselves to prayer and Scripture, all while the rest of the nation picked up brooms and shovels.

The exemption, however, was not a permanent solution but a temporary reprieve. Namayanja made clear that consultations remain ongoing regarding whether Adventist members will undertake the cleaning activities on Friday or Sunday. No final agreement has been reached. The Church leadership, under Uganda Union Mission President Pastor Samuel Kajoba, continues to engage the government in a spirit of mutual respect, seeking an amicable solution that upholds both the national objective and the constitutional freedom of worship.

The question that now demands an answer is whether any Adventists were forced to work or any churches were closed during the exercise. The available evidence suggests that the exemption was largely honored.

There are no reports of Adventist churches being forcibly closed or of Adventist worshipers being compelled to abandon their services to join the cleaning exercise. The government's explicit directive appears to have been communicated effectively to enforcement personnel. While police enforced movement restrictions across the country, stopping motorists and restricting vehicle movement, there is no indication that those traveling to or from worship services were targeted. The exemption appears to have been respected in practice, not merely in principle.

The exemption granted was a recognition that religious liberty cannot be casually set aside in the name of public hygiene. But mercy granted in one instance does not establish a principle. The ongoing consultations regarding a permanent accommodation, allowing Adventists to clean on Friday or Sunday, will determine whether this temporary reprieve becomes a lasting protection or merely a pause before the next collision.

For now, Adventist congregations across Uganda worshiped in peace. The churches remained open. The faithful were not compelled to labor. The Sabbath was preserved. But as the government prepares for the next National Cleaning Day on the last Saturday of August, the question remains unresolved: will religious liberty continue to be honored, or will the demands of civic duty once again press against the boundaries of conscience?

The issue before us is larger than community cleaning. It touches the enduring principle that when God has declared a day holy, His people must carefully preserve its sacredness. Public health is important. Clean communities are important. But so is the freedom to honor the Sabbath according to the dictates of conscience. Uganda has taken a step in the right direction by granting this exemption. The hope now is that the ongoing dialogue between church leaders and government officials will produce a permanent solution that respects both civic responsibility and freedom of conscience.

Life Of Charles G. Finney.
By
Aaron Merritt Hills

Part 1 - B

SENT OF GOD

Charles Finney found the old authors in his law books frequently quoting from the Scriptures. This excited his curiosity so much that he purchased a Bible, the first that he had ever owned, and hunted up every passage referred to. This led to careful reading and much meditation upon the Sacred Word. Here follow two facts that are profoundly important to all Churches and Christians, and especially to all who would ever be successful soul-winners. His pastor's name was Rev. George W. Gale, a graduate of Princeton College and Theological Seminary. His theology was hyper-Calvinistic and not yhe genui e Calvinism taught in Princeton at that time. Gale believed that man’s nature was so totally sinful that he was utterly incapable of any good; the will was incapable of a right choice; the soul was utterly passive in regeneration; ''there was no adaptation in the gospel to change his nature, and consequently no connection in religion between means and ends.”

"This Brother Gale sternly held; and consequently, in his preaching, he never seemed to expect, nor did he even aim at converting anybody by any sermon that I ever heard him preach. And yet he was an able preacher, as preaching was then estimated. The fact is, these dogmas were a perfect strait-jacket to him. If he preached repentance, he must be sure, before he sat down, to leave the impression on his people that they could not repent. If he called them to believe, he must be sure to inform them that, until their nature was changed by the Holy Spirit, faith was impossible to them. And so his orthodoxy was a perfect snare to himself and to his hearers." (Memoirs of C. G. Finney, pp. 59, 60.)

The pastor was in the habit of dropping into the
young lawyer’s office to see what impression his sermons had made on the lawyer’s mind. Finney was at this time leader of his choir, and of course their relations were familiar. With the keen, subtle, intellectual acumen which characterized him and a frankness bordering on to impolite bluntness, and probably with a touch of cynical irreverence, the lawyer satisfied the minister’s curiosity completely; for fifty years afterward he wrote: 'I now think that I criticised his sermons unmercifully. . . . Indeed, I found it impossible to attach any meaning to the terms which he used with great formality and frequency. What did he mean by repentance? Was it a mere feeling of sorrow for sin? Was it altogether a passive state of mind, or did it involve a voluntary element? If it was a change of mind, in what sense was it a change of mind? What did he mean by the term 'regeneration?’

What did such language mean when applied to a spiritual change? What did he mean by faith? Was it merely an intellectual state? Was it merely a conviction or persuasion that the things stated in the gospel were true? What did he mean by sanctification? Did it involve any physical change in the subject, or any physical influence on the part of God? I could not tell; neither did he seem to know himself. I sometimes told him that he seemed to begin in the middle of his discourse, and to assume many things which, to my mind, needed to be proved. I must say, I was rather perplexed than edified by his preaching.”
(Memoirs, pp. 7, 8.)

As one reads such words, one can not help wondering how many ministers now are as vague and misty as was Rev. Gale, and how many multitudes are still sitting in the pews and wondering what the ministers are talking about. Neither can one help reflecting that, with such a theology prevailing, it is little wonder that infidelity was widespread at the beginning of the century, and revivals were few, with seldom a conversion, and that only one in fourteen of the population of this country was even a professor of religion!

Everybody was told that they were absolutely helpless, and could do nothing to secure their own repentance or conversion; and they generally believed it. With one accord they were idly waiting, in imaginary helplessness, for a sovereign God to enable them to repent and believe; and thus whole generations were sweeping into hell. What appalling results can flow from a false theology!

The other striking fact was this: Finney read a great deal in his Bible about prayer and answers to
prayer and prayer promises; and yet he continually heard people pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and as often confess that they did not receive what they asked for. He heard them exhort each other to wake up and be engaged and pray earnestly for a revival of religion, professing that, if they were in earnest, they would have a revival, and the impenitent would be converted; but they would as continually bemoan their coldness and complain that they were making no progress. He says : '"This inconsistency, the fact that they prayed so much and were not answered, was a sad stumbling-block to me.'' ‘'On one occasion, when I was in one of the prayer-meetings, I was asked if I did not desire that they should pray for me. I told them, ‘No,' because I did not see that God answered their prayers. I said: ‘I suppose that I need to be prayed for—for I am conscious that I am a sinner—but I do not see that it will do any good for you to pray for me; for you are continually asking, but do not receive. You have been praying for a revival of religion ever since I have been in Adams [three years], and yet you have it not. You have prayed enough since I have attended these meetings to have prayed the devil out of Adams, if there is any virtue in your prayers. But here you are, praying on and complaining still.' " (Memoirs, p. 10.)

Some young people proposed to pray for Finney, among them the noble young woman who afterward became his wife. But the hopeless pastor remarked that it would do no good; he did not believe that Finney would ever be converted, since he had already sinned against so much light that his heart was hopelessly hardened! And what was the more, the choir was so much under Finney's influence that it was doubtful if they would ever be converted while their leader remained in Adams.

Fortunately for the kingdom of God, some one had more faith than the pastor, and laid hold of God for Finney’s conversion. To use his own words, he became 'Very restless.” A little reflection showed him that he was by no means in a state of mind to go to heaven, if he should die. He began to feel that there was something in religion of infinite importance, and that, if the soul was immortal, he needed a great change to be prepared for happiness in heaven. The great soul was approaching his Bethel: he was standing face to face with God, and confronting the decisive question whether he would accept Christ as presented in the gospel, or pursue a worldly course of life. Prayers were being answered at last; for God had his hook in Finney’s jaw, and was pulling with the mighty cord of Infinite Love.

Further, Deeper and Higher

“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day that ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord… Joshua 24:14-15.”

In this passage, the life of Joshua, a mighty man of God, is ebbing away. He has seen it all; he grew up in Egypt and he and Caleb are the only ones to have been allowed to enter Canaan.

As the leader, it was Joshua’s role to say these things, indeed there is only one other who possibly could do this and that's his good mate Caleb. Both were part of the twelve spies but unlike the other ten, they had the vision of God; they were the ones to believe and put their trust in God to assure victory.

This rallying call will be echoed down through the centuries. For example, you can hear Elijah saying it on Mount Carmel, David saying it to the Jewish People, and Jeremiah pleading with tears to the unbelieving Jews in Jerusalem.

Although the Israelites in Joshua's day had conquered most of the Promised Land, they needed to know stagnation and standing still are not an option. As Joshua rightly points out, there is more land to be captured and more battles to be won.

Standing still in the Christian life is backsliding. There has to be no complacency. Just because you have served God and he has blessed you in the past is no guarantee for tomorrow.

We should make a daily decision to serve the Lord and put away any idols that stop us going further, deeper and higher with God. Like the Israelites, we have a choice and this is a daily choice.

The Children of Israel made a sweeping declaration that they would serve the Lord, but it didn't last long. That is why every day, we commit anew.

Let us commit to go further, deeper and higher with God.

God bless you, Keith
