Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God’s near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.

When I pray for revival I pray first for the most radical thing: The utter devotion and allegiance of your hearts to Christ.

Brokenness is not revival; it is a vital and indispensable step toward it.
