I hope he's right about a Great Awakening.

I hope everyone is paying more attention to the Lord these days... I know I've been praying more than usual and reading Psalms has been a great comfort to me...

I miss our discussions... They were intense... But forced me to really dive deep into the Word...

Hope you are well.. And your loved ones..

Stay strong... God bless...

Thanks for posting this, Rose I hope so too,

The inspiration for the quote you posted is from Isaiah 24:8-16.

God's Judgment on the Earth:

…8 "The joyful tambourines have ceased; the noise of revelers has stopped; the joyful harp is silent.
9 They no longer sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who consume it.
10 The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.…
11 In the streets they cry out for wine. All joy turns to gloom; rejoicing is exiled from the land.
12 The city is left in ruins; its gate is reduced to rubble.…
13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, like a harvested olive tree, like a gleaning after a grape harvest.
14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD."
15 Therefore glorify the LORD in the east. Extol the name of the LORD, the God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” But I said, “I am wasting away! I am wasting away! Woe is me.” The treacherous betray; the treacherous deal in treachery."

In the 90's, I read several books of warning by David Wilkerson on God's approaching judgment of sin including:

"Final Warning," 1992

"The Vision," 1993

"Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth," 1993

"Racing Toward Judgement," 1996

"America's Last Call: On the Brink of a Financial Holocaust", 1998


The story of David Wilkerson's quote is online at:

"I did some searching on the internet to find more about this 1986 prophecy and found that these were notes a minister, Mike Evans took of a David Wilkerson meeting held in a hotel in Dallas/Fort Worth. ... Mike Evans gives the backstory and further details:

"As I was in prayer, studying and preparing in my prayer room, I picked up an old Bible and out of it fell a note I had forgotten I even had. As I read it, I found myself trembling and crying.

The note was from a breakfast I had with Dr. David Wilkerson in 1986 at the Embassy Suites near the Dallas Fort-Worth Airport. He showed me a letter addressed to Rev. Richard Dortch who was running PTL under Jim Bakker.

It said, “Rev. Dortch, within 12 months from the date of this letter, the judgment of God will fall on PTL. You are fornicating with brick and stone. Flee now and repent. Bats will fly through the empty building.” A month later, I was with Dortch, and he mocked David’s letter saying, “if I fornicate, it will not be with brick and stone. These attacks aren’t against me or Jim Bakker, they are against God.” It was exactly 12 months to the day that The Charlotte Observer broke the PTL scandal. Twelve months to the day of Dave Wilkerson’s letter.

In that same meeting as I was meeting with Brother Wilkerson, he opened his Bible to Isaiah 24. He said, “every house will be shut up, and no one will be coming or going. The city of confusion is broken down, and every house is shut up that no man may come in.” Isaiah 24:10 says that. The prophet Isaiah describes in Isaiah 24:12, all entrances and exits to the city are gone. In other words, there will be no place to escape. God has shown me that a calamity is coming beyond humankind’s capacity to respond. This judgment will devastate the world’s economies. Every restaurant and bar will be shut down, and all the drinking and merrymaking will end. All entertainment and churches will be shut down.

Isaiah says in the 24th chapter, verse 9, “they shall not drink wine with a song.” The mirth of the land is gone. All sports will be shut down. But the prophet Isaiah also saw a great shaking of the olive tree coming in 24:13. In other words, God’s shaking everything that can be shaken. It’s a time of overwhelming darkness as He exposes the world’s idols. But in the midst of this terrible shaking, a song is heard, a chorus of voices singing praises to the majesty of God. “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea,” (Isaiah 24:14). That’s the beginning of the Great Awakening.

And then in 24:15-16 it says, “from the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.” Lukewarm Believers are going to come back to their first love. Their souls will be flooded with godly repentance, falling on their knees with repentance. There will be a great awakening. The song of revival will be heard from the uttermost parts of the earth. From Israel to Indonesia, Africa, from the east to the west, from the north to the south, from China to Arab lands, all parts of the earth will rise up in the midst of this plague. They’ll be feasting on the Word. The idols are coming down. They will see in horror the idols they have worshiped that have blocked them from the power of the Holy Spirit...idols they put their faith in. The greatest cry of repentance will come from God’s remnant."

- End of Mike Evan's Quote -

It is time for all Christian believers to don our sackcloth and ashes, and humbly prostrate ourselves before God in prayer and repentance for our nation.

"The LORD appeared to Solomon at night and said to him...

"If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

"and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land." (2nd Chronicles 7:12-14)
