[revival-fire] Trying to transfer some deep blessings

Some sharing from the heart about revivalists and revival

Hi:
On this quiet Friday evening before another weekend of outpouring, I want to explain something. Some of you all know that I've been writing an online novel about a revivalist. It occurred to me the other day that almost all fiction about revivalists has been of the negative sort. But the main character of the book, Ran, is meant to be a representative of real revivalists like Jonathan Edwards, Finney, Wesley, Whitefiled, and many up and including our time. Basically Ran is meant to be a man who shows us what we could be. Long ago I had a Bible college teacher from England. His name was Charles Duncombe, and when he was young, he spent time following Smith Wigglesworth around. Brother D, as we called him, helped many people write books,and many of his words ended up in print. But I only know of one book that he, himself, wrote that bore his name. It had a very, very good title: We Could Be Giants. We could be, you know.

Well, I hope this experiment will help people understand what we could be. I hope it will heal some hurts and doubts. I once had mine healed just by a revivalist of sorts standing in front of a group of people and telling of a great healing in the third world, but the story and such a reality to it, such a dose of the power of God, that my cynicism melted and fell away. I hope the book will do that for someone.

Here in Oklahoma City, we've been holding intercessory worship meetings on Saturday nights for around nine years. What an experience it has been and will continue to be. I hope that some of what we have been blessed with can be transferred to others through some of the things we do and put on the internet.

Blessings,
Don Keesee
