PRAYER EMAIL - FEBRUARY 25

 Greetings,

"But Thomas , one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came."  John 20:24

The last weeks, since Asbury, I have been sharing not only my videos, experiences and comments on Asbury; but also giving revival history to my viewers and churches.  I have gleaned much from Leonard Ravenhill, J. Edwin Orr and all the books covering revivals and those that went through revivals.  It has been a joy to share with them of all the saints that I have remembered their testimony of what God did and how He did it.  Duncan Campbell, John Wesley, Dr. Culpepper, Marie Monsen, and Jonathan Goforth to name a few.  But the one that I held to the end was the Welsh Revival of 1904.  And that man that God used mightily, Evan Roberts, to lead this particular revival in great fashion.  

It is said and written, that this verse of John 20:24 about Thomas, touched Evan Roberts and lasted with him all his life.  Hearing a sermon on this text and by the power of the Holy Ghost was etched into his make-up all his life.  And it has always left a thought to me, what was it of this phrase that stamped on him, that passion from these few words?  Isn't it amazing how God's Spirit can take a word, a phrase and speak volumes to us in our walk and service to Him.  

There are the multiple ways to consider how God comes.  He came to save us from our sin.  He came to draw us and invite us that day of our salvation.  He came in power upon His church on the day of Pentecost.  And each revival reminds us once again, that He is able to come.  And yet, this particular time in which Jesus came to His disciples after His resurrection, Thomas was not there.  There is no reason given or put forth to tell us why he was not there.  But he missed Christ visitation.  Such moments cannot be missed, but be ever expecting of Him to come.  How many times we missed His Divine visitation will be revealed to us in eternity.

God unleashed upon Evan Roberts and Wales, almost at the same time that He was Divinely visiting Korea.  These moves of God are of God's Sovereign will.        But how many Thomas' will there be?  How many to miss HIs Divine visitation? His calling? His favor?  Only to hear the same cry as that which Christ offered in Luke 19, 'how often I would have drawn you, but you would not.'  They missed their Divine visitation.  Those that were invited have missed it, go into the highways and streets and compel them to come in for the supper.  All of these are being directed by the One Who knows all events of time, history and the things of His creation.  O God, don't let me be a Thomas!  

Please be in prayer for us March 11 for our nationwide broadcast.
