Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth.

Revival

We read in the biographies of our forefathers, who were most successful in winning souls, that they prayed for hours in private. The question therefore arises, can we get the same results without following their example?

The story of the very first outbreak of the Revival traces it to the trembling utterance of a poor Welsh girl, who, at a meeting in a Cardigan village, was the first to rise and testify. “If no one else will, then I must say that I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart.

I want to see something that God builds. I want to find some people so hungry for God that every night they want to pray; (and find) where there’s intercession! We’re not going to move America any other way … We’ve tried every scheme and any every fancy thing and (we) try and work something up, but what we need some body to come down. Some person! Not a new theology, a person! Just as the Holy Ghost invaded the virgin womb and created Christ there, I need the Holy Ghost to form Christ in me. If I don’t, I’m not a Christian! Christ in you the hope of glory. That’s what it’s all about.

You may speak but a word to a child, and in that child there may be slumbering a noble heart which shall stir the Christian Church in years to come.

We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people or funds. The greatest need is prayer.

A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church.

Revival is ultimately Christ Himself, seen, felt, heard, living, active, moving in and through His body on earth.
