Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

Often we don't seek the Lord until we're in distress.

When you got money in the bank and the sun shining and your husband's crazy about you

and your kids love you and are obedient and everything's going your way,

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Tuesday, September 11th.

miss that. And we'll be devoting some time over these next weeks to trying to recreate for you

some sense of what God did during those days and weeks and months in a way that impacted not only

this country, but also other continents as well. Now, this revival has been called the Great Prayer Revival.

And what took place 150 years ago was that people who had been seeking after wealth, after affluence,

it was in the wake of the Industrial Revolution.

People had been making money hand over fist.
