Revival is a divinely initiated work in which God’s people pray, repent of their sin, and return to a holy, Spirit-filled, obedient, love-relationship with God.
The Christian needs to walk in peace, so no matter what happens they will be able to bear witness to a watching world.
It is impossible to worship God and remain unchanged.
When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God.
If you feel weak, limited, ordinary, you are the best material through which God can work.
Ultimately, leadership is more about ‘being’ than ‘doing.’
We don’t realise how much the world has affected us. We put God in the background.
Our task is to relate our lives to God, and let Him work through us.
We’ve got to have a deep, intimate relationship with the Father if we’re going to lead like Jesus.
During true revival, thousands of lost people are suddenly swept into the Kingdom of God. Scenes of the lost coming to the Savior in great, and unprecedented numbers, are common.
If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory.
Don’t put labels on people. See them as people who Christ died for.
What an incredible witness it is to a lost and fearful society when the Christian acts like a child of God, living under the loving sovereignty of the Heavenly Father.
You cannot stay the way you are and go with God.
The Christian never works toward victory, he always works FROM victory.
The essence of sin is a shift from God centeredness to a self-centeredness. The essence of salvation is a denial of self, not an affirming of self.
Spiritual leadership is moving people on to God’s agenda.
Teach yourself to thankfully receive all that God gives you as evidence of His love and faithfulness, and then you’ll find it easier to trust Him next time.
God’s commands are designed to guide you to life’s very best.
When God spoke to Moses and others in the Old Testament, those events were encounters with God. An encounter with Jesus was an encounter with God for the disciples. In the same way an encounter with the Holy Spirit is an encounter with God for you.
