I saw, in my spirit, a road stretching out before me.

I knew instantly that it was for all of us, me included. It was an unpaved road rather like you see in the country.

It meandered left and right, up and over hills and through valleys. Through tough places and through easy places. There were stones and rocks everywhere — small ones, larger ones, and boulders.

Yet what caught my eye as much as the roadway and all the stones, was the grass — lush and fat grass, with plenty of shady trees too. Beautiful countryside.

I came to a place of particular difficulty, where passage was very arduous.

I considered taking to the grass beside the road but soon realised that there were thorns, briars, and snakes at this particular point.

I climbed on top of a rock for a bit of an higher view. I could see a path through and managed to pick my way through with minimal damage.

There was mile after mile of the road stretched out before me and the vision faded and closed.

I asked The LORD about it. This is what I felt He was saying, “This is the Road to Revival!

This is what you all are praying for. It’s not an easy road. It’s fraught with dangers, difficulties, and problems.

Be sure you understand what you are asking for. Once you are on the road, it will be too late. You will either have to carry on through to the end, or stop someplace in a bit of a wilderness — stuck for anywhere to go.”

I asked Him to explain a little bit for me. The LORD understands our short comings and is always willing to explain these little ‘mysteries’.

“The Road of Revival is not a straightforward road, it always has twists and turns, usually to avoid minor or major disasters.”

The LORD always knows Satan’s plans to derail Revival, because The LORD ‘pins His ear’ on Satan’s wall and goes ahead of him to divert around Satan’s plans — hence all the twisting and turning.

“The stones, rocks, and boulders represent those Satanic plans that have to either be avoided, or they have to be thwarted with minimal damage.

The plush grass and trees and other refreshing spots represent the results of Revival, and you may tarry awhile in any of those spots although I may urge you to keep on moving forward.

The rough places? Are they not fairly obvious? They are where Satan decides to war even more heavily against Revival.

The snakes, the thorns and briars are his traps to catch out the unwary.” said The LORD.

“Occasionally’, He said, “I will take you higher for My perspective of the road ahead.

That’s when you will see the path I need you to take, even though fraught with danger and potentially damaging.

You will always succeed but that success will come at a price.”

“So,” says The LORD, “Are you prepared, really prepared, to take on Revival at any cost?

If not, then I’ll defer it.

But if you are so prepared, then I will send it to you, to your Church, to your town, and I will heal your land.

Get your watchmen on the walls.

Get your intercessors ready to pray even more, even longer, with even greater passion.

I will send Revival in proportion to my perception of your willingness to pay the price for Revival in your lives!”
