=== Presence Revival Conviction (01:52) ===

[00:00:00]  Larry, you said that the Hebrides was one of your favorite revivals in history.
[00:00:06]  Tell us why.
[00:00:08]  It's a presence revival.
[00:00:10]  That's what I love about the Hebrides revival.
[00:00:12]  What do I mean by that?
[00:00:13]  There is such a return to the presence of God.
[00:00:17]  And here's the deal: the presence of God is not a feeling.
[00:00:19]  It's not goosebumps.
[00:00:21]  Although I've been in amazing meetings, meetings that have come out of Brownsville and Toronto, where people are overwhelmed by the presence of God.
[00:00:28]  But when you experience the presence of God, as we saw in the days of the Hebrides revival, there was conviction.
[00:00:34]  There was a turning from sin, not because, and what I love about you, Jim, and Lori, you preach the love of God, but you also preach the reality of the truth that sin, God is not okay with sin.
[00:00:45]  God is not okay with sin because sin destroys us individually.
[00:00:49]  Sin also destroys nations.
[00:00:52]  And in just a moment, I mean, one of the things I was talking to Mondo about is sharing kind of three prophetic perspectives that people are having right now in the midst of this.
[00:01:01]  But I wanted to answer your question.
[00:01:02]  The reason I love the Hebrides revival is a presence revival where people led by those two little old ladies who are kind of falling apart.
[00:01:10]  I mean, they couldn't even leave their house.
[00:01:12]  Let that be an encouragement to the people who are watching.
[00:01:15]  They couldn't leave their house.
[00:01:16]  So they decided to consecrate and give their house as a place where they prayed.
[00:01:21]  And the kind of prayer that they used, I mean, I'm reading in this book, Revival Fire.
[00:01:26]  It was called prevailing prayer.
[00:01:28]  In other words, it was prayer that persisted with God until they saw results.
[00:01:34]  And as a result, they saw this whole body of land, all these islands, the Hebrides islands being saturated in the presence of God, thousands, tens of thousands, maybe millions coming to Jesus as a result of that.
[00:01:48]  And all because they experienced a visitation of God's presence.
