Many believers today are wondering if the Church's present lethargic state is the final curtain call for the Church Age. Many of the great revivals of the last three centuries began when a few consecrated Christians desperate for God, disgusted by the spiritual darkness of their time, pleaded with the Lord to do the spectacular. In response to those prayers, a great work of grace invigorated the Church, and many believers were emboldened to proclaim the gospel message, which ushered millions into the Church. Is it possible for God's people in the 21st century to be enflamed with the same evangelical fervor? This author thinks it is, but not without an awakening within the Church first. As witnessed in the book of Esther, whenever God’s people are settled in the world, they will lack reverence for Him and devalue the things important to Him. In contrast, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah display the authentic nature of spiritual revival, what necessitates it, and what it produces. May we press forward in expectation of the great things God can still do, rather than permitting a defeated foe to wrangle as many into hell as he can because of our smug complacency.   — Warren Henderson
