Adrian Rogers: Let the Revival Fire of God Fall
Adrian Rogers: Let the Revival Fire of God Fall
When we talk about revival, many nod their heads in agreement, saying “Amen,” but for some, it’s only a surface acknowledgment. Deep down, we often doubt revival is possible. Many believe we’re living in the last days, resigned to a mindset of simply enduring until Christ returns. Yet, let me assure you—there isn’t a single verse in the Bible that says revival cannot happen in these days.
This message, titled “Let the Fire Fall,” draws from 1 Kings 18. In this passage, Elijah stands in the midst of a spiritually dark Israel, a nation consumed by apostasy, apathy, and idolatry. The people had turned to Baal, a false god of fertility worshipped with obscene rituals. Elijah, a prophet of the Lord, faced off against the 450 prophets of Baal, calling for a showdown on Mount Carmel. The challenge? To build altars, place sacrifices, and call on their gods—the true God would reveal Himself by sending fire from heaven.
Revival in Dark Times
Elijah’s bold declaration reminds us that even in times of spiritual decay, revival is possible. When Elijah called upon God, fire fell from heaven, proving God’s power. This isn’t about fame, finances, or numbers; it’s about revival fire. And we desperately need that fire today.
Many believers today have adopted a “hold-the-fort” mentality, clinging to survival until Jesus returns. But Scripture tells us otherwise. Jesus gave the Great Commission, promising, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). God’s power hasn’t diminished—His ear is not deaf, and His arm is not too short to save. The real issue lies not with God but with His people.
Enemies of Revival
One key enemy of revival is compromise, as seen in the story of Obadiah in 1 Kings 18:6. Obadiah was a devout believer who feared the Lord, yet he aligned himself with Ahab, one of Israel’s most wicked kings. While Obadiah took risks to protect God’s prophets, he failed to take a stand with Elijah. This dual allegiance highlights a common struggle among believers today—professing faith while compromising with the world.
Revival begins when God’s people humble themselves, pray, and fully commit to Him. As the Bible promises in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
A Call to Action
Elijah’s story calls us to seek God wholeheartedly, stand firm in faith, and pray for His fire to fall again. Revival isn’t just possible; it’s God’s desire for His people. The question is, are we ready to turn away from compromise, seek His face, and let His power transform us and the world around us?
Let the fire of revival ignite in our hearts, in our churches, and in our communities today. Now is the time.
