Hey you guys, welcome to my backyard for the American Camp Fire Revival.

We've talked over the last couple of months about the possibility that the current

cultural setback may be a divine setup for the ultimate comeback of the family of faith.

Tonight, I want to talk about that comeback.

I want to talk about what it takes

to prepare ourselves for a revival

and the awakenings that have taken place in the country before

and what we need to do to get ready for the next one.

Harriet Tubman was known for her courage during the Civil War,

and she rescued and set free more than 700 enslaved people,

and her primary motivation, and the source of her courage was her faith. She was raised. She was

nourished in her faith. She was surrounded by a community of believers. It was the Bible stories

that inspired her. And during that time, there came about something that in history is known as the second Great Awakening.

The first one was during the Revolutionary War period.

And the second was during that period of the Civil War.

And it was that spiritual revival, that spiritual liberty that gave slaves a taste for physical liberty and made them

yearn for a day when slavery would be abolished. I believe that life in America is not really as bad

and as hopeless as many would like to portray it.

Many want to have these end-of-the-world prognostications that make people feel hopeless

and want to give up on restoring and redeeming the culture.

But just as in the days of Harriet Tubman,

we can look forward to times of renewal and liberty
