Summary

American citizens have been witnesses to a shift in leadership that is favoring progressive extremists who will destroy our schools, our economy, and the morals we once held. Those who intend to hold seats of power will usher in a new secular, humanist, socialist version of America, which is why the family of faith needs to uphold the wisdom of heaven now more than ever. We can look back on examples of spiritual revival throughout history, and one particular story from Great Britain in 800 B.C. stands out. If it weren't for the faithfulness of King Alfred of Wessex, the viking extremists would have destroyed even more of the country and wiped out all Christian morality. Instead of surrendering to the vikings, King Alfred assembled an army of likeminded Christians who defeated the vikings, and even offered mercy to their ruler, a man named Guthrum. When Guthrum accepted Alfred's offer of peace, he himself became a Christian and was baptized, and Wessex experienced a spiritual awakening all because of the dedication and courage of one man. Will the family of faith in America follow this example?

0:31.2	down towards the garden,
0:34.1	out where the willows bend down with the wind
0:38.3	If you could see it, you have to believe it
0:44.3	Or you could just sit there and cry singing It goes to a holler
0:59.0	It goes to a holler, a top you can see,
1:16.6	a land full of honey and red bumblebees
1:21.6	The Garden of Eden, no that cannot be
1:26.6	But the holler looks just fine to me Revival. I don't know about you, but there is something that feels so good about being part of a larger community of faith.
2:07.0	The family of faith or the household of God, as we read in the scriptures, is something that God created so that we can bear one another's burdens.
