O God of hosts, restore us, and cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. Psalm 80:7

There are many who believe that there are eight great spiritual revivals that occurred in the Old Testament. The eight great spiritual revivals are believed to have occurred under Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Asa, Hezekiah, Josiah, Ezra, and Nehemiah.

For the past few years we have spoken of from time to time about a great revival that many are anticipating to come about very soon. Some have even been calling the upcoming revival, “The Third Great Awakening.” As we draw nearer to this revival, the Lord placed on my heart to do a series on, Revival History: From Israel to America. As noted in the title, this is the introduction.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 KJV

‍ ‍The Memorial Day weekend is coming upon us in a few weeks. It is a day to honor Veteran's that made the ultimate sacrifice, the giving up of their own lives in order to save the lives of others and for America. Although it is a day of remembering those who sacrificed their lives in battle to preserve freedom for others, personally I also think it is fitting to honor those who survived, but put themselves in harms way. Not to diminish the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives in battle. However, there are those who put their lives on the line that were able to survive.
