A spiritual awakening is no more than God’s people seeing God in His holiness, turning from their wicked ways, and being transformed into His likeness.

Revival and change are almost synonymous terms and both clearly cut across traditionalism. There is no way true revival can occur without major changes disrupting and reordering the life of the Church.

It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.

God never asks us to do anything we can do. He asks us to live a life which we can never live and to do a work which we can never do. . . . Self is the only obstruction to that life and to that work. May we each one pray from our hearts: “O Lord, deal with me!”

Revival and change are almost synonymous terms and both clearly cut across traditionalism. There is no way true revival can occur without major changes disrupting and reordering the life of the Church. . . . God is no traditionalist. While God is orderly, He is always fresh and vital. If a church can run according to forms and traditions of men, it will run without the presence and power of God . . . . Is it any wonder the love of tradition is an enemy to revival? Revival and new life go hand in hand . . . . Let every church realize that the inordinate love of tradition is a great opponent to revival . . . . When a church slays the love of tradition, a major obstacle to revival will be slain With it.

No system of doctrine, preaching and worship which fails to develop prayer, faith, spiritual labor, and success in converting souls from sin, can long have the face to claim to be the religion of Jesus Christ!

Revivals begin with God’s own people; the Holy Spirit touches their heart anew, and gives them new fervor and compassion, and zeal, new light and life, and when He has thus come to you, He next goes forth to the valley of dry bones… Oh, what responsibility this lays on the Church of God! If you grieve Him away from yourselves, or hinder His visit, then the poor perishing world suffers sorely!
