"Revival is the Sovereign, Sudden, Selected, Sensational operation of the holy spirit of God descending in the midst of Prayer which produces Purity and reaches the Perishing"
Ken Conley
"Urgently do we need a revival of personal godliness. Sanctified men are the salt of society...."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"What we need now is A revival of holiness. A revival of character. A revival of people who are utterly selfless and preparred to lay their lives on the altar of God."

PRAYER:
HAVE YOU PRAYED TODAY? I DO NOT MEAN, HAVE YOU HAD YOUR DAILY "CRUMBS", I.E. DEVOTIONS. BUT HAVE YOU SPENTTIME IN THE 'SECRET PLACE' OF THE MOST HIGH? HAVE YOU HD N AUDIENCE WITH YOUR CREATOR? YOU WILL NEVER LEARN TO PRAY UNTIL YOU LEARN TO DWELL IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH. LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY. "WHEN YOU SPEK TO THE BIBLE, THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO YOU.
REVIVAL
IN A BIBLICAL REVIVAL WE ARE ALWAYS DEALING WITH THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MAN. THEY NEVER WORK CONTRARY TO EACH OTHER IN REVIVAL. WHEN GOD CREATED MAN HE CREATED HIM WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY TO 'OBEY', ACTS 5:32. "HE GIVES THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE WHO OBEY HIM." GOD BEING SOVEREIGN CAN DO WHATEVER, WHENEVER, HOWEVER HE WANTS AND NOTHING CAN STOP HIM. MAN IS RESPONSIBLE TO OBEY. "EAT OF ALL THE TREES OF THE GARDEN - BUT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL THOU SHALL NOT EAT. THE DAY YOU DO, YOU WILL DIE. A SOVEREIGN GOD HAS IN HIS GREAT REDEMPTION PLAN CONDESCENDED TO DO HIS WORK ON EARTH OF WORLD WIDE EVANGELISM THROUGH THE OBEDIENCE OF MAN. (EXAMPLE -' GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO YOU." "GO AND I WILL GO WITH YOU." "SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND". "ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU". "PRAY AND I WILL ANSWER." SO IN THE OBEDIENCE OF A SAVED, SPIRIT FILLED MAN, GOD SENDS THE "WIND OF GOD" TO MOVE THE SHIP.(EXAMPLE- ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST. ) MAN'S RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PREPARE HIS HEART FOR REVIVAL. SET HIS 'SAILS' OF OBEDIENCE. THIS WAS THE NORMAL SPIRIT FILLED CHRISTIAN IN THE BOOK OF ACTS AND GOD SENT THE REVIVAL WHEN HE DECREED. JONATHAN EDWARDS:" A CHURCH THAT IS FULLY PREPARED FOR REVIVAL IS ALREADY IN IT, AND DOES NOT KNOW IT." THE BOOK OF ACTS IS REALLY THE ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH THE APOSTLES. ACTS IS A CHRONICLE OF REVIVAL. IT IS THE WORKING OF GOD IN THE CHURCH DIRECTING THE HISTORY OF REDEMPTION.
WORLD EVANGELISM
PRAYER AND REVIVAL PRODUCES WORLD EVANGELISM.
