revival

For every Gospel action, there is an opposite and devious demonic reaction. We see this in the book of Acts. It appears in church history. We experience it in our personal journeys.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and He doesn't need a makeover!

When prayer goes viral, people are not excited about __t_ (prayer) but are infectious about __im

There is a difference between a church that prays and a praying church. One has prayer programs. The other develops a prayer culture.

Truth is not fully explosive, but purely electric. You don't blow the world up with the truth; you shock it into motion.

We have to be active if we want to see revival and the glory of God in our country

Faith in Christ leaped from person to person like some divine epidemic, not of disease but of spiritual health.

We say we want revival . . . but on our terms. We don__ pray this way, but this is what our hearts are saying to God: __ome Holy Spirit . . . but only if you promise in advance to do things the way we have always done them in our church._ __ome Holy Spirit . . . but only if I have some sort of prior guarantee that when you show up you won__ embarrass me._ __ome Holy Spirit . . . but only if your work of revival is one that I can still control, one that preserves intact the traditions with which I am comfortable._ __ome Holy Spirit . . . but only if your work of revival is neat and tidy and dignified and understandable and above all else socially acceptable._ __ome Holy Spirit . . . but only if you plan to change others; only if you make them to be like me; only if you convict their hearts so they will live and dress and talk like I do._ __ome Holy Spirit . . . but only if you let us preserve our distinctives and retain our differences from others whom we find offensive.

I took my menial life for granted until it became clear, why my early years resulted in a lack of adoption.- J.D. Stroube (Rival: Prelude to the Mirage Chronicles.)

Only God gets the glory when revival comes to town.

Jews have been an ever-dying people that never died. They have experienced a continuous resurrection, like the dry bones that Ezekiel saw in the valley. This has become the sine qua non of every Jew. It is the mystery of the hidden miracle of survival in the face of overwhelming destruction. Our refusal to surrender has turned our story into one long, unending Purim tale.

You know it__ a real salvation when Baptists use cold water.

This is how we bring about our own damnation, you know-by ignoring the voice that begs us to stop. To stop while there's still time.

The fire of revival supernaturally destroys all the destructive tendencies in the country

Prayer is the Fuel for Revival Fire!

The fire of revival that destroys all principalities and powers also defeats and demolishes the oppressor _ the devil

When I looked, I knew I might never again see so much of the earth so beautiful, the beautiful being something you know added to something you see, in a whole that is different from the sum of its parts. What I saw might have been just another winter scene, although an impressive one. But what I knew was that the earth underneath was alive and that by tomorrow, certainly by the day after, it would be all green again. So what I saw because of what I knew was a kind of death with the marvellous promise of less than a three-day resurrection.

I can't tell whether a revived man would appreciate his second chance or yearn for the stolen serenity.
