Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one’s will to God in deep humility.
If the presence of God is in the church, the church will draw the world in. If the presence of God is not in the church, the world will draw the church out.
Prevailing prayer is that which secures an answer. Saying prayers is not offering prevailing prayer. The prevalence of prayer does not depend so much on quantity as on quality.
Sin is the most expensive thing in the universe. Nothing else can cost so much.
Nothing tends more to cement the hearts of Christians than praying together. Never do they love one another so well as when they witness the outpouring of each other’s hearts in prayer.
Ministers often preach about the Gospel instead of preaching the Gospel. They often preach about sinners instead of preaching to them.

There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience.
Repentance is a change of willing, of feeling and of living, in respect to God.
A revival may be expected when Christians have a spirit of prayer for a revival. That is, when they pray as if their hearts were set upon it. When Christians have the spirit of prayer for a revival. When they go about groaning out their hearts desire. When they have real travail of soul.
