“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold” (Matt 24:12)- NSV

We currently live in a time of moral and spiritual decay in the midst of a flourishing spiritual era where literally thousands of people rush to services and spiritual activities.  To move away from God does not start with incorrect conduct.

In 1814 the year before Waterloo, the county of Cornwall became the scene of one of the most remarkable and extensive revivals of religion ever known in any country in the world. The movement began in Redruth. In the town of Tuckingmill, a father held family prayers and devotion after a meal. People passing by heard the whole family praying and entered the house uninvited until it was overflowing, with people around the windows and on the street outside crying for God to have mercy on them. From there they all moved to the Church and filled it.  The penitents became so preoccupied with cries of mercy that the preacher could not be heard. He spent the night going from pew to pew, praying with those who wanted to get right with God.

In 1860, 374 church ministers from across South Africa gathered at Andrew Murray’s church in Worcester to hold a conference. Sixty young people gathered In a nearby hall for a prayer meeting. After a 15-year-old black girl p-prayed, the Holy Spirit descended upon the group so powerfully that they began to cry out to God in repentance. Andrew Murray tried to stop the meeting.
