Revival is an infusion of new spiritual life imparted by the Holy Spirit to existing parts of Christ's body.

As pain tells us of the need for healing, worry tells us of the need for prayer.

I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not Honor more.

The goal of revival is conformity to the image of Christ, not imitation of animals.

If our hearts and minds are not properly transformed, we are like musicians playing untuned instruments, or engineers working with broken and ill-programmed computers. The attunement of the heart is essential to the outflow of grace...We must aim at building the structures of God's kingdom but recognized that we will only create these through the transformation of our experience. Concentration on reformation without revival leads to skins without wine; concentration on revival without reformation soon loses the wine for want of skins.

It is my assumption that growth in faith is the root of all spiritual growth and is prior to all disciplines of works. True spirituality is not a superhuman religiosity; it is simply true humanity released from bondage to sin and renewed by the Holy Spirit. This is given to us as we grasp by faith the full content of Christ's redemptive work: freedom from the guilt and power of sin, and newness of life through the indwelling and outpouring of his Spirit.

Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.
