Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from page 67:
“Psalm 20 overflows with promises from the Lord for helping His people in their times of trouble. He promises to hear them, defend them, send them help, strengthen them, remember all their prayers and offerings, give them their hearts’ desire, fulfill their purpose, save them, and enable them to rise and stand upright in all their ways. The realization of all these promises is premised on God’s people calling on Him in prayer. We have believed that better chariots and more horses were the answer to all our troubles; the result is that Christian influence continues to lose ground, Christian values are being compromised even by church leaders, churches and believers have turned inward for a fuller experience of faith, and the banner that waves over this land is that of progressive secular humanism, and not the Kingdom of God.
“Why have we not turned to the Lord in prayer, beseeching Him day and night, in our private devotions and homes and as gathered congregations? Why have we been satisfied to pray for lesser and fleeting outcomes, rather than to seek the Lord for generation-spanning and world-transforming revival?”
For a limited time, you can order Revived! together with the previous book in our Read Moore series, The Church Captive, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. And you can download a free discussion guide for both books.
