A large advert in a national paper had these words on it,' Just do it Again'.I am not even sure what was being advertised,but those words struck a cord with me.In the Gospels our Lord performed many miracles,John the Baptist performed no miracles.Are we looking for a quick and fast easy solution to the challenges of life,so we pray for a miracle. We read in days of old, what we call revivals broke in,and we wonder why God will not do it again?.Is not God the God of miracles, 'Surely the arm of the Lord is not to short to save,nor his ear too dull to hear' Isaiah 59 v1. Of course God can do it again, but the reason He did not do it again was because sin had caused God to distance Himself from his people . Read the rest of the chapter, things were very bad spiritually, so much so that a gulf had opened between God and them.Until they repented of their sinfulness ,the difficulties would remain, nothing would change.I pray continually that God would build His church,I pray for different denominations,but how can it happen? , when many of them,are voting to accept the unacceptable, in morals and doctrine. We are talking about those who are supposedly Christians, but as was said to the church in Sardis, Revelation 3 v 1, by God.'I know your deeds, you have a reputation of being alive,but you are dead'. God may do it again if,yes if, we repent and seek Him.
O Wind of God,come bend us , break us,
Till humbly we confess our need;
Then in Thy tenderness remake us,
Revive, restore, for this we plead.
Words , Mrs . B. P. Head.
