Hand picked by God.
Just like Shepard boy David was hand picked from the sheep fold to the palace for a special purpose. In same manner did God take a young coalminer named Evan Roberts to usher in one of the greatest outpourings of the Spirit of God, the Welsh revival. Evan didn’t choose to be a revivalist, God had already chosen him from the foundation of the world. And as Evan yielded to the high calling of God on his life God did it through him.
Birthing Revival.
God had put an unusually passion and hunger in him. He loved to read and talk about revivals of old. Evan Roberts were very instrumental in the birthing of this great outpouring. As the Spirit of God moved on him he interceded and wept under a mighty love for an awakening in Welsh. He prayed so valiantly that his land lord had to tell him to leave. Its interesting to see how God picks someone out and pours of His own spirit on him for birthing a move of God. This move resulted in a hundred of thousands converts.
Embracing the love of God.
Evan embraced the love that God had for the people living in Welsh.
He got a hold of the broken heart of God and offered it back to him through intercession. God is looking for people today that are not so occupied with themselves but rather give their lives in ransom for others. The only thing that can motivate us to pray for others is the mighty love of God. Paul said: That the love of God compels us.Its hard to pray when the love of God is lacking in our lifes.
Ask God to touch you with his mighty love and put your heart ablaze for the salvation of your region.
Change of liturgy.
Evan was no traditional preacher. He seldom preached, he would usually sit on the platform and from time to time direct the people in prayer or worship as the Spirit lead him. As the waves of His Glory rolled over them, people could openly confess sins and cry out loud for the lost. They were not changed by the preaching of the word. Instead they where transformed under the Glory of God which were present. You see God can change people without using a preacher.
I believe that there are more “Evan Roberts” out there who is experiencing the love of God in such away for the birthing of mighty moves of God. Let us believe and embrace the love of God and intercede for our regions in Jesus name.
