“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.” ACTS 2:2
In the early 1900s in Wales, there was a powerful revival led by a young man named Evan Roberts, who had been praying for 13 years. Wesley Duewel records, “In all parts of Wales, the scenes were similar. Churches of all denominations were drawn together by the Spirit of God and almost forgot their denominational distinction. Prayer meetings were so crowded that church buildings could not hold them. Some prayer meetings were characterized by unbroken prayer and singing. Roberts contended for 13 years until His prayers kissed the sovereign hand of God birthing the suddenly.”
When the ‘suddenly’ happened, Wales experienced an overwhelming sense of the presence of God. Not only in churches and prayer meetings, but on the streets, on the trains, in homes, and in taverns, people were gripped by the Spirit. Rich and poor, old and young – all were moved by God. The Lord used a young Evan Roberts who had caught a vision of what could happen if he gave himself to fervent, unrelenting prayer for a nation.
130,000 souls were saved in six months in 1904 in Wales. Could it happen again?
Pray that God would raise up young ones like Evan Roberts who would fervently pray until they see breakthrough on their campus. Pray for God to bring the spiritual breakthrough that would shift the atmosphere on campuses and turn many hearts to God.
