If God’s people hunger deeply enough, God will hear and send revival. God requires more than casual prayers for revival. He wants His people to hunger and thirst for His mighty working. To seek God’s face is far more than occasionally mentioning revival in our prayer. It involves repeated and prolonged prayer. It requires holy determination in prayer, examining ourselves to see if anything in our lives is hindering God.
– Wesley L Duewel –
Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.
– JI Packer –
Prayer is the burden of revival; repentance is the breakthrough of revival; evangelism is the blessing of revival; holiness is the bounty of revival.
– Steve Camp –
The proof that your old life is dead, having been “crucified with Christ,” is the amazing ease with which the life of God in you now enables you to obey the voice of Jesus Christ.
– Oswald Chambers –
The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it’s a tree?
– Richard Baxter –
The chief danger of the 20th century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
– William Booth –
Have you ever stood on the same plot of ground with the publican, crying—God be merciful to me a sinner.
– William Tiptaft –
Man can avoid conviction by truth, just as he can avoid burning by fire — getting out of its way, refusing contact with it — and no other way. So of the frost, so of the light of the sun, so of the thunder. These may be shunned, but not directly resisted. The truth is just like them.
– Ichabod Spencer –
from the sermon The Truth Held in Unrighteousness: Romans 1:18
God or sin must die in me. The one elementary Bible truth we are in danger of forgetting is that the Gospel of God is addressed to men as sinners, and nothing else.
– Oswald Chambers –
