South African Revivals - Paperback

by Bennie Mostert (Author)

Time and again throughout history, there were times that circumstances have been as difficult as we now experience them. People began to cry out to God in desperation, and suddenly, God was there As we read different accounts of revival, it is noticeable that revival nearly always comes suddenly and unexpectedly. Even in cases where there were years of preparation, in the end, revival broke out suddenly and unexpectedly. So, even after years of preaching, prayer and evangelism, revival remains one of God's 'sudden' moments.It is also noticeable that many revivals start in the most unlikely of places, and that God may use the most unlikely of people. With but a few exceptions, revival either starts during a time of great spiritual darkness, or it precedes a time of great turmoil and darkness.Those who have experienced revival, testify that during revival, more happens in one week or in one month, than during years of effort in non-revival times. Recounting revival stories always touches people deeply, and it creates a hunger in Christians for God to do the same in their church, city and country.May this account of documented South African Revivals stir hope in our hearts for it again to happen in our lifetime.
