Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest. Isaiah 32:15
So tremendous has been this sense of awareness of God, that I have known men out in the fields, so overcome that they were prostrate upon the ground. Duncan Campbell
Rain down, you heavens from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together. I, the Lord, have created it. Isaiah 45:8
A Revival means days of Heaven upon earth. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. Joel 2:28-29
The Spirit like a mighty rushing wind seemed to sweep all before it; the youth, the middle aged, the man of years fell prostrate at the Cross. Second Great Awakening
Everything will live wherever the River goes. Ezekiel 47:9
Revival is a community saturated with God. Duncan Campbell
I indeed baptize you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
A revived church is the only hope for a dying world. Andrew Murray
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. Luke 11:13
Every great awakening and plentiful harvest of souls has proceeded from the same Spirit, sought by the same importunity of beseeching prayer. Therefore, pray for the Spirit!
J.W. Alexander
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49
It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and full of the Spirit as he wants to be. The problem is not to persuade God to fill us, but to want God sufficiently to permit Him to do so. A.W. Tozer
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father…’for you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now…you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto Me.’ Acts 1:4-8
Revivals are among the charter rights of the church. E.M. Bounds
When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4
Extraordinary religious awakening and simultaneous conversion ought not to be regarded as peculiar to the day of Pentecost, but as part of the ordinary working out of God’s great purpose of grace, for the conviction and conversion of the ungodly, and for ultimately ‘bringing many sons to glory.’ Robert Murray M’Cheyne
An awareness of God, a consciousness of God seemed to hover over the very atmosphere! The very atmosphere seemed to be charged with the power of Almighty God! That is Revival! Duncan Campbell
We cannot be guilty of any excess in our endeavors after Him. Nay, we ought not to be satisfied with a little of the Spirit, but to aspiring after greater measures so as to be filled with the Spirit. Matthew Henry
Ask God to make you all that the Spirit of God can make you, not only a satisfied believer who has drunk for himself, but a useful believer who overflows the neighborhood with blessing. C.H. Spurgeon
The mercy of God is an ocean divine, a boundless and bottomless flood;
Launch out in the deep,
Cut away the shoreline,
And be lost in the fullness of God.
A.B. Simpson and B.B. McKinney
May the Lord Jesus bless you richly with all spiritual blessings.
