God's Invasion

The following is from a book called "Invasion of Wales By the Spirit" and describes the revival that took place there in 1904-1905. This is what I want and pray for St. Louis.


It was plainly evident now to everybody that God had entered the agonizing prayers of His people and had sent a mighty spiritual upheaval. A sense of the Lord's presence was everywhere. His presence was felt in the homes, on the street, in the mines, the factories and school, and even in the drinking saloons.

So great was His presence felt that even the places of amusement and carousels became places of holy awe. Many were the instances of men entering taverns, ordering drinks and then turning on their heels and leaving them untouched. Wales up to this time was in the grip of football fever, when tens of thousands of working class men thought and talked only of one thing: they gambled also on the result of the games. Now the famous football players themselves got converted and joined the open-air street meetings to testify what glorious things the Lord had done for them. Many of the teams were disbanded as the players got converted and the stadiums were empty.

Beneath the ground the miners gathered for worship and Bible study before they dispersed to the various sections of the mines. Even the children in the schools came under the spell of God.


Pray with me for our city. Let's bring this in together!
