Feeling Like Isaiah

Dear Revival Partners,

I think often, almost daily, about how Isaiah must have felt as he was living among a people who were familiar with the ways of God, but no longer walking in the ways of God.

Isaiah must have felt like many of us do today. Feelings of uncertainty … wondering if things will ever change … Will God show up once again? Feelings that God’s people have lost their credibility to the unbelieving world. Feelings of, “Why all this craziness? Why is our culture so confused and conflicted? Why is holiness absent and perversion prevalent?”

YET, in the midst of feeling hopeless, Isaiah only INTENSIFIED HIS CRY OF ASKING FOR HELP!

In chapter 64, verse 1, Isaiah personifies hope in his invitation for God to show up: “Oh, that you would … come down!” The intensity of his cry is evident as he exclaims, “Oh, LORD,” three different times in the remaining verses.

Be encouraged, OneCry family! As the pandemic diminishes and the routines return, the cries for a divine intervention from heaven are not lessening. To the contrary, more and more voices are both crying up and crying out. And the faith, passion, and intensity with which leaders are seeking the Lord are powerful reminders that God is about to come, in great power.

Last month, we began a OneCry podcast. The month prior, we hosted the National Day of Prayer telecast. And earlier this year, we were engaged deeply in a national revival conference and the Collegiate Day of Prayer. All the while, radio stations are airing the OneCry short feature, and the weekly national prayer gatherings for revival continue.

What could happen if God were to show up … if God were to manifest His presence?

Please keep seeking. Please keep asking. Please keep believing. With all our hearts, let’s trust God for another world-changing, life-transforming movement of His Spirit.

Thank you for partnering with OneCry in this urgent call.

Until He comes!
