Well, the handout says personal revival. It's a long Mouthful of a title personal revival removing the high places from your life with no reserves. No retreats No regrets and we're taking the passage as you can see from your handout from 2nd Kings chapter 18 and verse 4 that says in the Old King James Version He removed the high places and break the images and cut down the groves and break in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made. For unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it and he called it Nahushtan. that is the word of the lord and may he add his abundant blessing to the reading of his holy truth and let's pray our most blessed and gracious father in god in jesus name and for his sake we thank you lord for the blessed truths that you have given us from your word we ask you father that you'll minister unto us these blessings that the distractions of the world would would fade away and that we can give our attention and focus to worshiping you in spirit and in truth that Christ may be exalted in our lives and that you may be glorified heavenly father forgive us our sins cleanse us from all unrighteousness and give us ears to hear eyes to see and hearts to embrace the blessedness of your word in Jesus name and for his sake we do pray amen Well, revival is something that probably many of us are hoping to see in our nation. National revival, or at the very least, revival in what is called American Christianity today. And even beyond that, at the very root of it, maybe some of us need revival in our lives, personal revival. But see, those others won't happen unless there is personal revival in our lives. And we have a very wonderful lesson here in 2 Kings 18 concerning personal revival. Some helpful in our, as far as I continue in the introduction, some helpful reminders are, is that when you're reading through 2 Kings, sometimes you find that the timelines that you'll see in history and some of your, in your helps don't quite match up. It says that he reigns 25 years or 16 years, because there's overlap with some of these kings. Some of the things that are going on we see in 2nd Chronicles chapter, and in this case with Hezekiah's life, chapter 29 verse 1 to chapter 32 verse 33. A lot more details that are given so that we understand that. Also there are archaeological and history records which bear witness to the truth of God's Word, that God's Word isn't Incorrect. It is correct. And it brings to us an understanding of what is more important, the spiritual truths. However, historically, for example, the 29 years that Hezekiah is reigning, he reigned for much longer, but he co-reigned with his evil father Ahaz. Hezekiah was immediately set up, but Ahaz's evil father is still there. because of the Assyrian kings. They were setting up vassal kings, and those truths remain. So, and because of the references from other scripture, like 2 Chronicles 29-32, these events in chapters 18 and 19 are also covered by Isaiah, in Isaiah 36-39. and with just slight variations in it. Isaiah presents this, almost exactly what we see from 2 Kings. And also, so Isaiah is administering prophet during these days. And we have to consider that the seven chapters of Micah, Micah was administering prophet during the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. And I'm reminded of one of the wonderful verses in the book of Micah, Micah chapter six and verse eight. He has shown thee, O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of thee to do justly and to have mercy and to walk humbly. with thy God. And that will somewhat play into our message today. Historically, an explanation of our text, or an exposition, if you will, of our text, we have the righteous reign of Hezekiah and Judah presented in verses one through eight. It's the early reign of King Hezekiah. And with him loving the Lord, and as it says in As it says in verse 2, 25 years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned 29 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was also Avi, the daughter of Zechariah. That's in verse 2. But he walked in the ways of David his father. In other words, as David, though he was not a perfect man, He sinned miserably with Bathsheba and committed adultery with her, murdered her husband, and then tried to cover it up. covered all of it up, but it was uncovered by the Lord. He was a person that despite his faults, he still submitted himself. He never left the Lord as far as believing in the Lord. And so that made his conviction of sin even that much more mighty, even to numbering the people of Israel when he should not have done so. And it brought the death of 70,000 in Israel. He loved the Lord. And this is Hezekiah, despite his faults. And even with us, because of the corruptions which still remain in our mortal flesh, until the Lord Jesus returns, that if we've been saved by God's grace, we have been transformed. We're new creations in Christ. And here Hezekiah exemplifies that in verses 1-8. A national revival breaks out, that he breaks down the high places where they're still sacrificing to the Baals and the other idols on the high places and in the groves. And he even takes the brass serpent that was preserved since the days of Moses in the book of Numbers when they got bit by fiery serpents and they were raised up in the middle of the camp. And if you got bit, Look by faith because God says if you look at that Serpent and gaze upon it in faith knowing that I will heal you you'll be saved and And it was an interesting point in that as we understand that there were people who God said this they go and look at it And they died why because he looked without faith There are people that refused to go. They died too. But those who trusted in the Lord, I got bit by a serpent because we have all been bitten by sin. And because of their sin, those fiery serpents came. It was a reflection of what sin does. It kills our lives. It makes us dead to Christ. It poisons our lives. But when we look upon Christ who used this picture of this nehushtan, this brass thing, Jesus pointed to it too. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. And that's what we do when we look at Christ through eyes of faith. The exile of Israel by the Assyrians is mentioned in verses 9 through 12. The northern kingdom of Israel, after it was split up in the days following Solomon's death, Rehoboam in the south, Solomon's son, but because he was wicked, the kingdom was split. And actually, because Solomon had fallen away, the kingdom had split. And so Jeroboam, An idolater, and every king after him in the Northern Kingdom committed idolatry. They had the Northern Kingdom, and so in 722 BC, the Assyrian army under Shulmaneser came down. They besieged the city for three days, and it was finally taken over in 722 BC as a matter of archeological reference. But Shalmaneser dies in 722 BC, and his son Sargon II takes over, and he finishes the siege. They take Israel captive, and that's captured here in verses 9 through 12, because it took place during Hezekiah's reign. Then there was, as this comes about, there is this interesting rebuke of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, in verses 13 through 16. And Hezekiah makes amends. We don't find out that, see, as Hezekiah is allowed to be set up, We have to take some verses later on. This Rabshakeh, who's talking, he mentions, why did you defy Syria by going and confederating with Egypt? Do you think Egypt will save you? Because Hezekiah, as this revival breaks out in the days of Hezekiah, which we'll cover in Chronicles, Lord willing, later on, unless the Lord comes before then. As this revival breaks out, he thinks, well, I'm not gonna pay tribute to this fella anymore. And so he doesn't, and he confederates with Egypt and also with Tyre up north. And so when Assyria, when he stops paying tribute, he stops paying protection money to the Assyrian mafia, he's, The Assyrians say, what have you done? And they bring an army and they take the fortified cities that are around Judah. And he says, oh, I'm sorry. So he gives up a ton of gold and 11 tons of silver, his brother, Brother James had read it and looked it up, and that's correct. It's exactly that much. And if you think that if gold today is going at, what, $1,800 an ounce, a ton of gold, to put it in Brother James' words, that was a pretty sum then as well as today, or a pretty sum today as well as then. Either way, it was a lot of money. So then there's the arrival of the Assyrian officials. And though he gives the money, they wanna put this down because that's how the Assyrians were. They went in and they scrambled things up in the nations. When they took over a nation, they took many people captive. They left enough people there and then brought in other captives from other places who didn't speak the language to keep it confused so that they could put their iron fist down upon the people. And so they were going to do this thing as well and set an example to Egypt and to Damascus and to Tyre and to all these other places around them. So they bring in these three guys, Tartan, what are their names, Tartan and... and Rabsarus and Rabshaka. And these aren't their names. This is probably their titles. Rav in Hebrew means great. So Rabshaka probably, he was the great orator or the, he was the chief of staff, if you will, the one that would be the spokesperson. And the Tartan was probably the commander in chief under Sennacherib. He's the commanding general. And then the other one was the, one of the chief generals, the Rabsaurus. He was probably the chief general there. So as we have these guys coming against them, the rival of the Syrian officials in chapter 18, verses 17 to 35, we have the interesting response from God's people to their king. The sound of silence in verse 36, because Hezekiah said, when you hear them, Don't answer a word. Just be quiet. Don't say anything. And so they don't. And so his secretary, his recorder, and his chamberlain report to the king. We see in verses, in verse 37, that's, oh, there it is. Having trouble seeing it there. No wonder it looks funny. That's the gospel of John. What am I doing there? Yeah, at the end of verse 18, in verse 37, you have Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah. We found out a little earlier, he's the Chamberlain. He's the one who's over his household. That's where we would call the Chamberlain. He's the one who would be the chief counselor to Hezekiah. And then you have the Shebnaz, the secretary, and Joah, the son of Asaph, is the recorder. And so, With the people being silent as they hear these threats coming from Rabshakeh and the Assyrian King Sennacherib, they send word to King Hezekiah, and we'll see that in chapter 19, what Hezekiah's response will be. But we have an application from this in that Revival. Revival broke out in the days of Hezekiah, and that's really what I wanna talk about, but it really contains the entirety of the chapter. Before I get into really how we personally apply this, I'd like to mention to you the story of a young missionary who never made it out to the missionary field. His name was George Whitting Borden. He was born in 1887 in Chicago, and he died in 1913. He was the heir to the Borden milk empire. This family owned a lot of the cattle up in Wisconsin and the cows up in, milk cows in Wisconsin and Illinois. And he was the heir to the Borden milk empire, that family. And he went to Yale University. And when he finished Yale University, he was in love with the Lord. He loved the Lord Jesus Christ. And he wanted, he was, in his day, liberal theology and doctrine had taken second place. And he was really against, in many places, and he was really against that. So he went to seminary at Princeton University. with the idea that he was gonna go into the mission field. And before he went off to Princeton, he wrote in the back of his Bible, no reserves, that his heart was given completely over to the Lord Jesus Christ. And though his family had a fortune, the board and milk fortune, He wouldn't submit himself to that. Somebody else can run that. Even if it's a non-family member, I'm going to serve my heavenly Father and serve the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ. And so he wrote no reserves in the back of his Bible. Well, he finishes, he graduates from Princeton University or Princeton Seminary, and he joins the China Inland Mission. Sister B and Sister Vicki's brother is named, your oldest brother, isn't it? Well, one of your brothers named Hudson. the oldest brothers named Hudson, named after Hudson Taylor, who started the China Inland Mission, was supported by Charles Spurgeon of London, England, the Baptist minister whose quote is in your handout. Well, he headed off the China Inland Mission and his heart was to minister unto the Muslim Chinese at the Chinese Inland Mission. So he decided that on his trip over the Atlantic, that he would stop off at Cairo. And in doing so, he got on the boat and sometime during to cruise the Atlantic to go to Cairo. And he wrote in the back of his Bible, no retreats. He was going to go for it. He was going to serve the Lord. And so when he gets there, he's studying the Arabic language so that he can, and I think the Chinese language as well, because he's going to China, but he's going to minister to the Muslim Chinese through the Chinese Inland Mission, but he contracts spinal meningitis. So here he is at 26 years of age, and just before he dies, he writes in the back of his Bible, no regrets. that it was his desire to serve the Lord no matter what, and it wasn't the results that were important, is that his heart was full of faith for the Lord, because the Lord had done a grace in his life to save him from the hell that he so richly deserved for the sins he committed against the Holy God. And that's how we should look at revival, that if we would pray for A national revival in our country is really going to hell in a handbasket, as it were. It is far from the country and constitution that I served in the military over 30 years ago. And so if we want revival, it should be with no reserve. But anytime that there is going to be a revival, if there's going to be a national revival or a revival among churches, because many churches we hear under the name of Christ are going completely astray from the word of God, that this means almost nothing to them, that it should be without reserve. That if Christ gave his all to save us and hung upon that tree and suffered God's wrath for sins he did not commit, for sins that we committed, for a debt that we owe and cannot possibly pay, then once we've been saved, we should give our lives as George Borden did, without reserve, no reserves. Embracing Christ personally is the first part because it's an internal part. It is a truth that happens inside. And I wanna make sure that I say this correctly. I wanna make sure that, see, when God brings revival, and it is by him that he brings revival, and it's not just that personal relationship, it's more. what he brings. But if God is doing that, Satan is going to bring about a counterfeit. And we looked at that in Sunday school today. A lot of counterfeit things that will distract us and keep us from seeing the real issues that are going on inside. and outside. Because some people think revival is what we see externally. What we see with, whereas in Hezekiah's day he broke down the groves, he broke down the high places, he got rid of the Baals, but there were still people that were idolatrous in their heart. There was a reality in Hezekiah's life embracing Christ personally as in verse 3. that I do want to read again. I'll read it from the English Standard Version as Brother James read it. And it says, And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. And so doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord, there was this truth that he was saved by grace through faith. And that is a key point and a starting off point for us. Because as we've seen in the life of John Wesley, and even Charles Wesley, and even George Whitefield before the Lord had saved him, that they were trying to work out their salvation. And that even in John Wesley's case, it was an external religion and an external piety. But any of the external works, the breaking down of any kind of high places, if it doesn't happen by the grace of God as a truth that He has saved us spiritually inside, that it says in 2 Corinthians 5 and verse 17, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold, all things become new. A new creature in Christ. And if we're not a new creation in Christ, it doesn't matter how many high places you break down. It's going to be just an external works. Now, it does, grace does transform our lives and must transform our lives. But that comes next. Do you notice the order that in verse four, he removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made for until those days the people of Israel made offerings to it. It was called Nahushtan. The brass thing. If this is done first, it's a false revival. If those external things come apart from from the truth that we're saved by God's grace through faith, that we're justified before God because Christ has died, and now we believe it with all our hearts, that this is the truth, and we trust in His salvation alone, His, excuse me, crucifixion alone for our salvation, then it's a false revival. And some people are going to those kind of false things as well. Just this last Monday, just this last Monday, right after, you know, here we have been filled up with truth to look at the resurrection and the coming of the Lord through 2 Kings 17, an expectation of the Christ to come because there's sin all around us. I get this phone call from somebody and I think, I think that he was the same one from many years ago when we were out in Scammon Bay, a Yupik native who got into a four-wheeler accident and supposedly in the hospital, died, went to hell, then went to heaven, and then was miraculously saved on the operating table or whatever, and now wants to send that witness that you should be saved. Oh, how ungodly! that even Scripture itself says that that's defiant, that we are not appointed unto wrath, 1 Thessalonians 4 tells us, we are not appointed unto wrath, but unto salvation, unto righteousness and salvation through Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ who suffered hell upon the cross was not enough, what makes me think that a sinner who went to hell and comes back is going to be better? That's stupid. I'm sorry. I hate these young people. I apologize for using that word, but it is S-T-U-P-I-D. Stupid. The King of Kings, God became a man, gave His life, lived the righteous life that you and I can't, went to the tree, died a death after suffering God's wrath, carrying our sins, speaking nothing from the cross, speaking seven times from the cross, but speaking nothing of saying, these sins aren't mine. He took our sins on Him. This was the silence when He was accused. He was silent because He took our sins upon Him as if they were His own, never once denying them. shed his blood through a piercing his side as prophecy presents, and he suffered hell upon the cross. Three days and three nights later, he rose from a borrowed tomb, ascended into heaven with a promise of coming again. If that's not enough, then none of those other things will save us. We give ourselves over and we make, even though the high places are ripped down like those idols and so forth, even in the church today, people are given over to worship, worship, or worship their good works as opposed to God himself. Travesty. Horrifying. Ungodly. But when Christ has got a hold of us, we want to eliminate whatever high places in our lives with purpose. We want to embrace Christ personally. We want to eliminate the high places purposely and profitably because it's done for Him. And so we take in those things that are in our hearts, those idols that we find out that they're still preserved in the recesses of our corrupt flesh, we say, you know, I've given too great a place in this or in that. Sometimes young people, because I was guilty of this as a sinner, sometimes I gave a great place to playing games more than worshiping Christ, because I was unsaved, but after the Lord saved me, I gave great place to all kinds of other things. I even got caught up as a missionary on the mission field in King Cove, as the pastor in King Cove. We ended up getting a gift of this thing called, what was that thing called, Nintendo 2? And I spent one whole day trying to beat every level of this thing till I could get to this little egg that hatched and had this little dinosaur come out of it. A whole day, ruined. I'm sure I committed blasphemy, what was that? It sounds like some people you know. I committed blasphemy, Lord, if I could just get through this one level. God forbid. But we see those things and we see Christ for what He's done, and now we take our priorities and make them the priorities where they should be. I see my wife now a little bit more tenderly, especially this week, and I look at her and think, oh my goodness, Lord, you give me this woman who richly deserves someone better than me. but because she's a picture now, I'm supposed to be as Christ to her, the Christ who loves his church, and she's supposed to be as the church, I'm supposed to be as Christ, and we have a gospel picture there. How come I don't give much more to that relationship than I do? And so I see those things, and I tear down and eliminate those high places in my life so that I might exalt Christ passionately. We see in verses five, and I know I'm going a little long here. Oh, that's only 27 minutes. I'm going a little long here, but notice right after he breaks down the high places, see, now we press toward the mark to use Paul's words in Philippians chapter three, I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, that not only is that taking place that I'm seeing sin for what it is, I see it more wickedly for what it is. In verse 5 he says, He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, so that there was none like Him among all the kings of Judah after Him, nor among those who were before Him. He still trusted in the Lord, and though He did that, He didn't Well, look, I knocked down all those idols and stuff and all those high places. I guess I'm okay now. No, he continued to trust in the Lord. And in fact, he became even more bold for the Lord. For verse six, it says, for he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord God commanded Moses. Now it springs forth from the truth that he does walk like David, his father, because he knows Christ. As we saw in the days of John Wesley in Georgia before where he met with this minister and he says, do you know the Savior? Or he says, I know He's the Savior of the world, but is He your Savior personally? And he had to confess no. But Hezekiah was not like this, and I pray that you're not like this as well, that something was done in our hearts. Something has changed us. Now we see sin for what it is, and now keeping the commandments springs forth from inside, not just an obligation to do it. His commandments are not grievous, and so we exalt Christ passionately. It's verse seven, and the Lord was with him. that we see the majesty of Christ, though with our natural eyes we don't see Him, but within the eyes of faith, as Spurgeon would call them, with the eyes of faith we see Christ and we know Him and we know He knows us and that we walk with Him as it says in Hebrews 13 and verse 5, I shall never leave you nor forsake you. That's the Lord Jesus Christ. He shall never leave you nor forsake you. Exalting him passionately that these things... And he became even more bold. He says, well, I'm not going to give unto that pagan king Assyria and Shennacherib who has extortion money on me. He's extorting me for money. And when he came against them, okay, I'll give you a ton of gold. But see, even his giving him a ton of gold and 11 tons, there's actually some commentaries that say it's 25 tons, because how much is a talent? 25 tons of silver and a ton of gold. Gold and silver had different talent weights. So He gives them this, why? Because the truth of the Spirit is greater than the truth of the flesh. And so even the temple, which God doesn't live in a temple made with hands, this is just an object that we can see so that we may worship Him as they would say, as Solomon said in his prayer. So that meant nothing to give them that stuff because our Father in heaven owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He owns it all. And then He owns us because Christ paid for us with His blood. No reserves. Revival means no retreats. In verses 17 to 35, what we should do is, if we are given over unto the Lord Jesus Christ, we must anticipate opposition. Expect it. Young people, especially you young people that have just been saved this year, and late last year, that as you're walking through this, expect opposition to a reality that's going on in your life. Expect it. Because as this Rabshakeh, he goes and he proclaims these things that were our problem, presenting problems to them as they oppose the revival that's taken place in this nation. If you have a personal revival in your life, anticipate the opposition of verses 17 to 35. But in that, abandon fear. Certainly those people were trembling up on the wall. But when we see the truth of what Satan is in Isaiah 14, it says, when it's revealed who Satan is, we're gonna say, this is the man that gave everyone trouble? We should abandon fear. Anticipate opposition, but abandon fear. Why? Because they will misunderstand Christ's gospel. In verse 22 of chapter 18, it says, but if you say to me, we trust in the Lord our God. Is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, you shall worship before the altar in Jerusalem? He misunderstands the gospel. He thought that Jehovah Elohim, Jehovah God, he thought that Jehovah God was the one who they were worshiping on the high places. No, this is the one place. He was confused. And those who oppose a revival in your life will be confused too, and they won't understand the gospel. I'll say, what are you doing? In verse 25, we'll see that some will lie and say that they know Christ. This is what Rabshakeh did. First, he says, well, didn't Hezekiah tear down the high places of Yehovah, the Lord God? And then verse 25, moreover, is it without the Lord that I have come up against this place to destroy it? Because the Lord said to me, go up against this land and destroy it. Now, did the Lord say that to him? He's lying. He's lying. The Lord didn't bring him up to do that. You say, the Lord's gonna protect us. The Lord sent me. And so some will lie and say they know Christ. Some will tell other things, like as in verse 25. And this is why we can abandon fear. We know that these things will happen. Here's another one. They will, bless you. They will contradict themselves eventually. If you listen to their lies long enough, you'll hear, because you're people of truth, you've been saved by the way, the truth, and the life, the Lord Jesus Christ, you'll hear that they will contradict themselves eventually. Verse 30 says this. Do not let Hezekiah make you trust the Lord. Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord by saying, the Lord will surely deliver us and this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Well, wait a minute, if the Lord sent you, why are you now saying that the Lord isn't going to protect them? They contradict themselves in one way or another. Satan does so as well. He uses three forms. He uses these three strategies, these same things he uses, or are part of what the strategies are that he uses. So we should not fear Satan. We should not fear any opposition to revival. No retreats. Move forward, press on toward the mark. It's not that you've attained it yet or obtained it, but you press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. And finally, revival means no regrets. I promise you that if you are saved by God's grace and you push for, Lord, give me personal revival. Lord, let me live as holy as a sinner saved by grace is able to by your grace. Lord, allow me to live more holy today than I did yesterday and allow me to live more holy today, tomorrow, than I did today. You'll have no regrets. And you can do that against that opposition. You can be silent before them, not say a word to them. Now, I know that the scripture says that Peter tells us that to be ready to give an answer always for the hope that lies within you. Or was that Paul to Timothy? I'm forgetting. I know that it says that, but in that case, that's for, in our evangelism, the Spirit's ministering unto us and the Spirit will be ministering unto those whom the Lord may be saving. But unto opposition to revival, silence is the most valuable option we have to the opposition. It's invaluable wisdom to threats and provocation. To paraphrase the proverb, it says that it's better to seem a fool and be silent than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. What can the, huh? That's probably most true in my case, right? But silence is a tremendous blessing in the case of opposition. that even, it doesn't mean that you'll be silent altogether, you'll still cry out unto the Lord. That's what we see in number two. But it increases confusion and the arrogant and upon cruel aggressors. When they are opposing you, just your silence will, will confound them. And in fact, even in the cases of evangelism to those of very hardened heart, in the early days of a man named Andrew Vanderbilt, many people know him as a God smuggler. In his 1966 book, he makes, just before he went out onto the mission field, he had been witnessing, he'd been working in a factory and he'd been witnessing to this woman who was a foreman, foreperson, in the factory. And he finally convinced her to come out to like this revival meeting. And so they go out to this evangelistic meeting and it was very powerful. And he's riding in Amsterdam on his bicycle. And he puts her on the seat. There's only one seat on the bike, and that's a lot of how they get around in the Netherlands. And so they're riding back from the evangelistic meeting. And the woman thought for sure that Andrew was going to witness the gospel to him, but the Lord placed on his heart not to say anything. He pointed out the flowers as they passed by, the tulips that were in bloom, and all kinds of other things, and look at how sparkling the water is dancing over there beyond the dike, and they keep on writing and everything. That night when he drops her off, never saying anything about the Lord, in his silence, she couldn't sleep that night. She came in with circles under her eyes. She was just so, she was haggard. She couldn't sleep. And she wanted him to tell her, she wanted him to tell her about Christ. and how she could be saved because she said, Lord, she was even calling out to the Lord and couldn't find salvation that night, even on to the early morning. She said, Lord, am I so hopeless that even this fanatic Andrew is tired of sharing the gospel with me. And the Lord wanted her to Christ and she became the biggest evangelist in that factory. No one could come in after being given a position as a job that was working under her without hearing about Jesus Christ. Silence. It implies a confidence in our King, the one that they so sinfully slander in their opposition. But are we silent? No. We send our report through prayer to our King. Just as in the very last verse, in verse 37, that they went and brought word to Hezekiah, we bring it to the King of kings. We are silent to opposition, We open our mouths when it's given time to speak. Even Jesus says that. Don't think what you're going to say in that moment, but he'll give it to you in the hour when it's needed. And so that there's no regrets with revival. I urge you, especially young people, I pray that you would seek, after a true revival and an awakening within your heart, that you may give your all to Jesus with no reserves, no retreats, and no regrets. Children of God, each one of you, that that's what your life would be. Because though we seem to be a little bit more remote in Ninilchik, Alaska, Your life apparently matters to the Lord God because he sent his son to die for you. To die for you. To shed his blood. To become a man. Fully God and fully man. To save a life. to bring him glory, in Jesus' name, let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank you, Lord, for this time that we have been able to look at what revival is. We pray that we are not sidetracked by the counterfeit, that we may see genuine revival, that it takes place within, that we may be changed without because of what you've done within. We love you, Lord, and thank you, and pray that you're glorified, that Christ is exalted, in Jesus' name, and for his sake, we do pray, amen.
