Being broken is both God’s work and ours. He brings His pressure to bear, but we have to make the choice … All day long the choice will be before us in a thousand ways.

God Is Not Looking For Brilliant Men – Henry Ironside
God is not looking for brilliant men, is not depending upon eloquent men, is not shut up to the use of talented men in sending His gospel out in the world. God is looking for broken men who have judged themselves in the light of the cross of Christ. When He wants anything done, He takes up men who have come to the end of themselves, whose confidence is not in themselves, but in God.

The Man God Needs – EM Bounds

God Seeks a Humble Man – Frank Bartlemen
God has always sought a humble people. He can use no other…There is always much need of heart preparation, in humility and separation, before God can consistently come. The depth of any revival will be determined exactly by the spirit of repentance that is obtained. In fact this is key to every true revival born of God
