This is a post The LORD would have me re-release today. It’s an encouragement to me and I hope it is to you too.

There’s something about passion that is appealing!

Some people have it — some don’t.

Many, who are passionate, can express that passion, but some can’t.

The United Kingdom is a bit different, in that it is not regarded as one of the more passionate places in the world — yet it hides, in its apparent coldness, passions that run deep.

Despite being ‘British’, we are in fact Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish, or English, rather than ‘British’.

We’re four very different nations, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Among the Welsh, there is a passion for all things Welsh, that surpasses understanding.

I saw it best expressed in a short BBC video clip of a Welsh Rugby fan describing his preparation for the annual international Rugby tournament.

I wish I could show it to you. I wish, and I suspect The LORD wishes, that Christians in general would capture some of this fans passion.

In the Scots, there is an independent free spirit dating back over a thousand years.

Ireland has long been famous for its humour and religious fervour.

As for the English, there are very deep but well controlled passions, much like Scotland, for being independent and proud.

Actually, pride is the one passion all the good folk of these islands possess — almost above any other.

Having said that, The LORD has instilled in me a passion first for Revival then for Wales.

Sadly, I’m one who is rarely able to communicate my passion — I really wish I could express it in terms you could understand.

However, my passion is to pass on my passion for Jesus Christ, and for His Kingdom and the coming Revival — especially in The United Kingdom.

I heard The LORD on this topic, and it’s quite profound for those who have an ear to hear.

“I AM about to stir up the Passions,” says The LORD, “that have quietly smouldered throughout The United Kingdom.

Passions kindled eons ago — Passions first brought to these islands many centuries ago.

I AM Rekindling the Passion of countless small Revivals through the ages, but in particular I AM blowing on the embers of the Great Awakening in America, the almost cold fires of Wesley and Whitefield, the Primitive Methodists, the Welsh Revival of the mid-1800’s, and the Great Welsh Revival of 1904-6.

I AM even reawakening the passion of Wigglesworth, and of the Hebridean Revival!

The embers of these past moves are even now being stirred once again!, say The LORD.

“I AM bringing back the reverential Fear of The LORD from those olden days, in order to rekindle passion for these coming days!

The Fire that burnt in any of these old Revivals has never been extinguished,” says God.

“Rather, the Fire has died down, awaiting the wind of The Holy Spirit to bring it roaring back to life again.

The passion of Edwards, of Wesley, of Whitefield, of Henry Rees (1859 revival), of Roberts, of Wigglesworth, and of Duncan Campbell and the Smith sisters — all of whom shared the passion for souls and a reverential Fear of God that runs through all Revivals!”

“This is the Passion I AM rekindling in Wales, in Scotland, in Ireland, and of course in England — for the coming Revival.

This is the passion that builds, starts, and sustains Revivals.

This Passion I AM bringing back to The United Kingdom!” declares The LORD our God!

Then He added, “America will benefit from this too as I stir their already great fervour into the roaring flame of passion!”
