5. The Suddenness of Revival – Paul M. Williams

Bethesda Shalom

Acts 2:1-4

The word suddenly is an awesome word!! Forty-one times it appears in the KJV. It’s a word of wonder, of surprise and amazement! At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. Their backs were bloody, beaten black and blue, yet they held a prayer meeting and got so full of the Holy Ghost that they burst forth into songs of praises unto God!!! “And suddenly (without premeditation, God showed up) there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed” (Acts 16:26). As the wonderful events of that midnight hour died down, the best was yet to come - the jailor and his house were saved and baptised!

This sermon is about the suddenness of revival! Here we are labouring in prayer — Lord, will we ever break through!? Praying Saints, I want to encourage you, KEEP PRAYING — God will come through! You say, Brother Paul, how will He come through? Suddenly when you least expect it, in the midnight hour, the break will come!
