O, Lord, revive us again!

Church of Scotland, in Barvas, the Island of Lewis
O, LORD, REVIVE US AGAIN!
DONALD, THE BOY WHO PRAYED…
‘Among those converted the following night was a fifteen-year-old boy who became an outstanding helper in the revival. This lad became a “frontline” prayer-warrior. Duncan Cambe…ll called at his home one day and found him on his knees in the barn with the Bible open before him. When interrupted he quietly said: “Excuse me a little, Mr. Campbell, I’m having an audience with the King.” Donald prayed until the power of God laid hold on all in his village, on those who were dead in sins transforming them into living stones in the Church of Jesus Christ.
But there was much opposition against reveival. Rev. Duncan was assisting at a Communion service; the atmosphere was heavy and preaching difficult, so he sent to Barvas for some of the men to come and assist in prayer. They prayed, but the spiritual bondage persisted, so much so that half way through his address Rev. Duncan stopped preaching. Just then he noticed the same boy, visibly moved, under deep burden for souls. He thought: “That boy is in touch with God and living nearer to the Saviour than I am.” So leaning over the pulpit he said: “Donald, will you lead us in prayer?” The lad rose to his feet and in his prayer made reference to the fourth chapter of Revelation, which he had been reading that morning: “Oh God, I seem to be gazing through the open door. I see the Lamb in the midst of the Throne, with the keys of death and of hell at His girdle.”
He began to sob; then lifting his eyes toward heaven, cried: “O God, there is power there, let it loose!” With the force of a hurricane the Spirit of God swept into the building and the floodgates of heaven opened. The church resembled a battlefield. On one side many were prostrated over the seats weeping and sighing; on the other side some were affected by throwing their arms in the air in a rigid posture. God had come into His house!
Halleluyah!’
Question: WHEN LAST DID YOU TAKE HOLD OF GOD?

(These are testimonies from the revival on the Island of Lewis, Scotland led my Rev. Duncan Cambell, 1949-1952. The revival started in the Church of Scotland in Barvas, Lewis. The revival has stopped but the church still stands as seen in the picture)
