Weekend Bible Study with Jacob- Revival and Drought

In this powerful weekend Bible study, James Jacob Prash of Moriel Ministries delivers a prophetic and urgent call to revival, using the metaphor of spiritual drought and rain to illustrate the current state of the church and the world. Drawing from James 5, Elijah’s prayer for rain, and the prophetic books of Joel, Amos, and Zechariah, he argues that the church is in a period of spiritual drought—marked by apostasy, false revivals, moral decay, and the rise of apostate religious movements. He warns that revival cannot come without genuine repentance, lament, and the leadership of godly ministers who weep between the porch and the altar, calling people to turn from sin. Prash critiques modern 'revivals' like those in Toronto, Bethel, and IHOP as counterfeit, driven by emotionalism, sexual immorality, and false doctrine, and contrasts them with the true revival that follows repentance. He emphasizes that God’s Spirit will be poured out on Israel at the end of the age, but only after a time of judgment and spiritual dryness. Ultimately, he calls believers to repent, return to biblical truth, and pray for a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit—because the drought is at its worst, and only repentance can bring the rain.
