"It's the Pentecostal power and only the Pentecostal power that will get the job done. Pentecost is not for display but the ability given by The Holy Spirit to reach the world before the return of Jesus."- Cecil Young

Revival Is A Yearning Time
By Roger Ellsworth "We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old" (Psalm 44:1). "I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings" (Psalm 77:10-12). "I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands" (Psalm 143:5).The above verses come from different psalmists. The 44th Psalm is attributed to the sons of Korah, the 77th to Asaph, and the 143rd to David. Each of these psalmists had learned a vital lesson, namely, that the mighty works of God in the past could not only encourage their hearts but also create a tremendous yearning to see God do something of a similar nature in the present. Let the fire fall, let the fire fall! The test of true revival is that the fruit will be seen in individual lives which will then have a marked effect upon the community. One such true revival was that in Kilsyth, Scotland, beginning in 1908 where the writer of this hymn,Harry Tee, was the leading elder of the church from 1922 until his death in 1959. Harry and the church there in Kilsyth, experienced a true ‘upper chamber’ revival. For 9 months, meetings were held every night as folk gathered in and around the church. Crowds spilled out on to the streets and on to the church roof (!) which made Kilsyth something of a ‘Pentecostal spectical’. Alexander Boddy, had stood on a pulpit with Evan Roberts in 1905 during the Welsh Revival and again exactly one year previous he had been with T.B. Barratt in Norway ministering in his meetings in the new Pentecostal revival yet when he visited the Kilsyth revival in for three days at the end of March 1908, he was overwhelmed at what he saw. It was heaven on earth. He lay on his face unable to say anything. |
Let the fire fall, let the fire fall
They were gathered in an upper chamber, As commanded by the risen Lord, And the promise of the Father There they sought with one accord When the Holy Ghost from heav’n descended Like a rushing wind and tongues of fire: So dear Lord, we seek Thy blessing, Come with glory now our hearts inspire. Let the fire fall, let the fire fall Let the fire from heaven fall; We are waiting and expecting Now in faith dear Lord we call; Let the fire fall, let the fire fall On Thy promise we depend; From the glory of Thy presence Let the Pentecostal fire descend. As Elijah we would raise the altar for our testimony clear and true Christ the Saviour, loving Healer, Coming Lord Baptizer too Ever flowing grace and full salvation For a ruined race Thy love has plann’d For this blessed revelation For Thy written Word we dare to stand With a living coal from off Thy altar, Touch our lips to swell Thy wondrous praise To extol Thee; bless, adore Thee And our songs of worship raise; Let the cloud of glory now descending Fill our hearts with holy ecstacy, Come in all Thy glorious fullness Blessed Holy Spirit have Thy way. http://www.heraldofhiscoming.com/Past%20Issues/2003/February/revival_is_a_yearning_time.htm http://www.limerickcitychurch.com/blog/-let-the-fire-fall-let-the-fire-fall |
