Revival Will Come


WHEN
the thorn tree of strife is rooted from the heart.


WHEN
apologies are made for unkindness and grievances are adjusted in a manner pleasing to God.


WHEN
the dead atmosphere of indifference, indolence and lukewarmness is dispelled by a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit.


WHEN
there are long vigils of prayer in which the soul is laid bare before God in humiliation and contrition.


WHEN
the killing frost of smug complacency is confessed and renounced.


WHEN
faith takes hold of God’s promises and resists every attack and accusation of Satan.


WHEN
fasting is practiced for self discipline, and self is forgotten in service.


WHEN
personal testimony is warm and buttressed by a holy life.


WHEN
we attempt great things for God and expect great things from God.


WHEN
holy people are willing to face opposition, ridicule, persecution, hate, suffering, shame and misunderstanding for Jesus’ sake rather than compromise their convictions or soften their witness against sin.


THEN
revival will come in supernatural power.
