Horses could not understand

I was reading about the Welsh Revival at the turn of the last century. In 5-6 month period over 100,000 people were converted to the Lord Jesus Christ. The countryside was changed. Pubs were closed. Police stations became quiet. Horses were no longer able to understand their masters’ commands

There was even a slowdown in the coal mines for a while, since so many Welsh miners were converted and stopped using bad language that the horses that dragged the coal trucks in the mines could not understand any more what was being said to them.

We are in desperate need of revival. One that will make a lasting change on the way we think, act and talk.

It happened before, it can happen again.
