Lord I heard your speech and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work ..... Habakkuk 3:2

Falling into the hands of an angry God, dear friend I do not want to experience this. Habakkuk is burdened before God as he witnesses the sin of his time. The previous chapter the Lord reveals an appointed time which is to come over the earth. He, Habakkuk had to write it down so that a herald may run with in. In it, it speaks of the end. There is coming a time upon us and the whole world when the judgement of God is at hand. God's warning to man have gone on deaf ears. Man is puffed up in the knowledge that he thinks he has, he is arrogant before God and does just what He pleases. He plunders many nations, sheds blood through murder, destroys the land around him so that men and women and children are starving to death. Man's laws are unjust and used for personal gain. The ruin of many are plotted. "Woe unto him who gives drink to his neighbours" .... so that he can gaze on his friends naked bodies. Does all this not sound too familiar of the time that we are living in. This bad and terrible thing that is to happen "The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" Man will know God has had enough. God will turn the glory of man into shame. He will expose every deed committed. The cup of God's wrath is in His right hand. Habakkuk is afraid for the people of his time. He pleads with God to revive His work in the hearts of men.
A heavenly God sent miracle is needed in our time. We are facing the end of time and we continue in our lives to live as if nothing is about to happen. If you don't have a burden for the lost,and don't have a burden for the sins that are being committed in our time then we as the church are in very big trouble. Is sin preached, is holiness being preached, are men/women and children setting themselves apart for a holy God to be used by Him.
Is there a fire burning within your bones as it did Isiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Paul and the rest of the disciples. Who felt in their hearts "Woe unto me if I do not preach the gospel". Where are the men and women who are thirsting and praying for a revival amongst God's people, are they already dead and gone to heaven. Where are the men and women pulling souls from the fire of Hell. Listen dear friend to what the Spirit of God is saying in Mathew 3: 10-12, "The axe of God is laid at the root of the trees that do not bring forth fruit every tree that does not bring forth good fruit will be cast into the fire".
May God have mercy upon me and you as we seek Him to revive men and women's hearts.
