REVIVAL . . . . REVIVAL IS THE LIFE of the LORD JESUS poured out into a human heart! ...

JESUS IS ALWAYS VICTORIOUS! In Heaven they are praising Him all the time for His victory. Whatever may be our experience of failure and unproductiveness, He is never defeated! His power is boundless. And you, on your part, have only to get into a right relationship with Him. You will then see His power being demonstrated in your life and service... and His victorious life will fill you... and overflow through you to others. This is revival in its essence... "THE HIGHWAY TO HOLINESS!"

BROKENNESS . . . . TO BE BROKEN IS THE BEGINNING OF REVIVAL.

IF WE ARE TO COME INTO A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with JESUS CHRIST, the first thing we must learn is that our wills must be broken to His will. He cannot live in us fully and reveal Himself through us until the PROUD SELF WITHIN US IS BROKEN. This simply means that the hard unyielding self, which justifies itself, wants its own way, stands up for its rights, and seeks its own glory, at last bows its head to God's will. It admits that it's wrong, and gives up its own way to JESUS, surrenders its rights and discards its own glory... that the LORD JESUS might have all... and be all. In other words, it is dying to self and self attitudes.

"SELF" SHOWS UP IN OUR LIVES when we "TRY" to live the good Christian life... do the Christian work, get irritable, envious, resentful, critical and worried. It is self who is shy and self-conscious and reserved. As long as self is in control, God cannot fill us with the fruit of the Spirit.

BEING BROKEN IS BOTH GOD'S WORK AND OURS. He brings His pressures to bear, but we have to make the choice. Yes! The choice is yours! As God shows us our expressions of our proud hard self, that causes Him pain... we can either refuse to repent or we can bow our head in humility and say "YES LORD!"
