Years ago it was difficult to find anything on
the subject of revival in Christian bookstores. Today, the shelves are
bulging with these books. Many have the accounts of corporate revivals,
describing the church before revival occurred and what has happened
since. The book I haven’t found is one on personal revival.
Most Americans don’t live in a city where there
is a church in the midst of revival. The Christians who are hungry for
more of God resort to traveling to churches either in this country or
abroad that are currently experiencing it. The most important group
however, the satisfied believers, never experience the life-changing,
manifest glory of God on a daily basis.
When I became born again, I experienced a heavy
burden in my heart. My prayer was for a move of God in this nation that
would bring God back to the forefront of both Christian and secular
circles.
Few ministers have had as great an impact on my
life as Kathryn Kuhlman and John G. Lake did. Whether reading books
about their lives or studying their sermons, I would find myself crying
and asking God for the same anointing that they walked in to be once
again be made manifest in the body of Christ.
It doesn’t matter what part of the body God has
placed you. It is my belief that you should live a life that will
challenge and change those who come into contact with you. Jesus said,
“these signs shall follow them that believe...”. Those signs should be
following you.
It is my prayer and desire that after you
understand what personal revival can do in your life that you begin to
move into that call and leave your mark on this generation. God wants
to ignite you with fire so you can pass it on to the people around you!
