When Our Prayers Turn Into Wailing

Pentacost will come again when our hearts are turned to intercession with much weeping and wailing. When we turn our hearts in complete repentance and intercede for ourselves and the world. II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Since when can we put a time limit on how long we pray? Does God move for us only by our certain time that we think He should move? I wonder when they gathered in the upper room to pray if they were standing around getting impatient and thinking how hungry they were, or were they thinking of waiting on God no matter how long it took? How hungry are we to hear from the Lord, truly hungry. I know that before revival can come there must be a zealousness and a fire burning within our hearts to see holiness, and santification, and repentance. The old time preachers might have scared some but today there is no conviction, no preaching on true repentance, no preaching on hell. If people were to be under the fire of conviction today there would be no backsliders. Jesus said it well when He said fear not what they can do to the body, but fear the very thought of where your soul will go. (my paraphrase). Do we weep for the sheer thought of another going to hell? Do we agonize over that thought at all? Today when someone says they have been saved by repeating a prayer are they? The Word of God says that there is a worldly sorrow and a Godly sorrow that worketh unto repentance. in the book of Joel 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Without holiness, without repentance, true repentance, without truly waiting on God, we will not see a revival, it's not about how much we say, but how much do we really know God, and how much time do we devote to reading the Word and praying, how much do we really intercede, how much do we feel the Spirit of the living God bringing us to a point of weeping and wailing for all that is not right, for all that are lost, for hating the things He hates and for loving the things He loves. Today as I have written this it is as much for me or anyone that reads this. I stand guilty before the true and living God. I stand guilty for all the times I've let the things of this world crowd out the things that are important to God. Amen
