Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”; …but they refused to repent and glorify him; …but they refused to repent of what they had done; …And they cursed God. Revelation 16:1,9,11,21
I love the Delirious song “Revival Town”. Its been one that I have been humming for several days. Every one of us needs revival. Certainly our town, state and country does too… before its too late. In John’s vision, he describes the reaction of those who have taken the mark of the beast as one without repentance. Though the wrath of God falls upon them, they refuse to repent. At this point, its almost as if their fate is sealed by their hardness of heart and rebellion. This will truly be a terrible day. The Bible says God is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to the knowledge of repentance.
How much more should I warn people today before God’s wrath is poured out! Am I willing to share the hard news with people and preach a message of hope and repentance? Yes.
God, use me as part of a grand revival. Draw men, women, and children to Yourself in perhaps these final years. Oh we need You and we need revival.
REVIVAL TOWN
Lyrics by Delirious
Well I’ve got a message to bring
I can’t preach but I can sing
And me and my brothers here
Gonna play redemption hymns
We’re not on our own you know
It’s all around the world
Cos this is the freedom generation
Living for revival in this time
Hallelujah, people everywhere are singing
Hallelujah, you’ve turned my mourning into dancing
Revival town
That’s what they’re calling this place now
Revival town
It’ll put a smile on your face now
Revival town
Well I’ve got a story to tell
About the King above all kings
You spoke for peace, hope, love and justice
Things that we all need today
You let a broken generation
Become a dancing generation
This is revival generation
You may not hear it on the radio
But you can feel it on the air
Hallelujah, people everywhere are singing
Hallelujah, you’ve turned my mourning into dancing
Revival town
That’s what they’re calling this place now
Revival town
It’ll put a smile on your face now
Revival town
That’s what they’re calling this place now
Revival town
