At the beginning of the nineteenth century, there occurred in America what is commonly called the Second Great Awakening. It lasted at least 25 years and maybe longer. It was a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the nation and people all over the land were changed for the better. The Biblical Repertory and Theological Review of 1832 looking back on those years of America that it was "the theatre of the most glorious revivals that the world has ever witnessed." ( p. 118, Revival and Revivalism by Iain Murray) In times past, this nation has been blessed with great revivals that turned the country around.Now, we need another great revival to turn this nation around. We need a national repentance. In Ezekiel's day, God called upon Israel to repent as a nation. Today, God calls us to repent as a nation. He calls us to get a new heart. He calls upon individuals to repent and get a new heart but He also calls upon the nation as a whole to repent and get a new heart collectively.
