Why Revival Tarries - Part 3
by Henry Blackaby
There are hundreds of Scriptures we could go through and that I am going through for myself. But the one to pay attention to is Jeremiah 2 and I think you’ll catch the heart of God. In recent years I’ve heard many speakers say, “If there is something in Scripture that does not seem to be right to you, please understand that the problem is never with God.” You need to settle that before you ever start searching. You need to go to a passage that speaks from the heart of God, and then to ask the question, “Oh God, is there anything in this passage that speaks to me? Is there anything that Your Spirit is translating into my setting, our nation, the people of God, the covenant people of God in our own day?
So read from Jeremiah 2: “Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying …” The God of the universe is pleading…pleading… as 2 Corinthians 5:20 says “As though God were pleading through us…” “go and cry in the hearing of Jerusalem, saying, Thus, says the Lord:” You’re going to hear something from God’s perspective, heart it as God understands it.
