30 And you who are left in Judah,
who have escaped the ravages of the siege,
will put roots down in your own soil
and will grow up and flourish. - 2 Kings 19:30 (NLT)
Can a promise made to a certain people be a promise claimed by all?
Should a promise made to a certain people, be claimed by others?
Scripture often claims a local truth and a universal principle. Often but not always.
Often you can determine a universal principle because it keeps showing up - across Scripture and across history.
Make sense? It's universal because it transcends the local.
The principle of revival coming through the prayers of a remnant is true and universal.
Scripture bears it out. History bears it out.
The Moravians, the fifty students at the Argentine Bible Institute, the Methodists, the Asuza Street revival . . .
That God would work with and through only a handful of faithful prayer warriors brings me great hope.
There's hope for the Vine!
We don't need a misquoted promise to Israel to know in our souls that this is true.
People who humble themselves in prayer and who seek God's face will be lifted up.
Those who abide in Christ will "bear much fruit."
Let's lay a foundation of prayer upon which God can build a great church.
Anybody up for an all-night prayer watch?
