Residue of Revival
national Anthems, Sports, Revivals, and beerBy Dr. John Shiver Except From Partner Letter
Dear Prayer Partners,
Blessings to you in Jesus name. Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for partnering with us. It seems the longer we do what we do, the more we realize how important you are! Several years ago, I was ministering in Cardiff, Wales. The television in my hotel room was on as I was preparing to go to the night meeting. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a great hymn of the Church being sung, and it was coming from the television. It was at a rugby match about to be played at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. I looked in absolute amazement as tens of thousands of Welshmen were singing hymns to the glory of God at a nationally televised sporting event! When I went to the church that night and asked the pastor about what I had seen, he told me that during the great Welsh Revival of 1904-1907 sporting events had been canceled all over the nation due to lack of interest. |

People everywhere including the players wanted to be in church rather than play games. After a 3-year suspension of all sports, it was decided that they would start again but before they played, they would have a season of prayer and a time of singing hymns before they started the game. There I was over 100 years later watching as that practice was still being observed in Wales in remembrance and honor of that great global awakening! A revival of the last century is still affecting society in Wales. Even if now it is just out of tradition, people will go to the football games and speak the name of the Lord and sing His praises.
There is a link to a YouTube video of this happening in that stadium. Please watch it. I watched it with tears in my eyes praying that God will do it again in stadiums across our land.
Look at where we are today in our nations. America and others have now entered a place where we have never been before in our history. Awakening in our nation is not an option. God NEVER changes! Anything He has done in the past, He can do it all again. Oh, that He would pour out His Spirit one more time in our day to such a measure that, even professional sports would be suspended for 3 years due to lack of interest and that future generations 100 years from now, if Jesus doesn’t return, would still sing hymns and worship songs in remembrance of what God did by His Spirit!

Please pray for us that God will meet with us in a powerful way as we return to Buffalo, NY for Glory In The City beginning on Thursday evening. We MUST have revival in our nations. There is absolutely NOTHING that can turn us away from our present course but God’s supernatural intervention. Please pray and believe with us for these very important meetings.
Please watch the video and pray with us that God will visit our nation in His glory again!
