Oh that we would catch the spirit of revival while we still can.

The great Evangelist RA Torrey of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, once said that he had a prescription that would bring revival to any church or community in any city on earth. 1) “Let a few Christians (they need not be many) get thoroughly right with God themselves. This is the prime essential. If this is done, the rest that I am to say will come to nothing. 2) Let them bind themselves together in a prayer group to pray for a revival until God opens the heavens and comes down. 3) Let them put themselves at the disposal of God for Him to use as He sees fit in winning others to Christ. That is all! “This is sure to bring revival to any church or community. I have given this prescription around the world. It has been taken by many churches, and many communities, and in no instance has it ever failed; and it cannot fail.” When you think about what Mr. Torrey said, why wouldn’t this work today? Oh that we would catch the spirit of revival while we still can.
