As I study His word  and spend time alone and pray for revival I always respect and honor some of the older saints who have prepared the way per se' for some of us younger saints...We can learn everything from His word mainly, and spending intimate time with JESUS  and from others who have gone before and have paved the way.
Thank Jesus we are surrounded with a cloud of witnesses that went ahead..

 The Hebrews Hall of Fame is full of them

Heb 11
¶ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

 4 ¶ By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
.
 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

2 chon 7:14:: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
 I pray People will continue to see His face... until revival comes and wakes up the sleeping church...

Here are some good points from one of my favorites:
Leonard Ravenhill
 Weeping between the porch and the altar
"The church used to be a lightning bolt, now its a cruise ship.
We are not marching to Zion- we are sailing there with ease,
In the Apostolic church it says they were all amazed-and now in our churches everyone wants to be amused.
The church began in the upper room with a bunch of men agonizing, and its ending in the supper room with a bunch of people organizing.
We mistake rattle for revival, and commotion for creation, and action for unction.

The first argument God has with a man is not that he's bad,
it;s that he is DEAD in trespasses and in sin.
And Christianity is the only Gospel in the world, the only message in the world, where a man's God comes and lives inside of him.

Where's the brooding of the Holy Ghost these days? When revival comes you don't daringly say, "Joe Smith is come to preach this week, and he'll finish Sunday night." Where in the world did we get the idea that the  Holy Spirit only comes at 11:o'clock Sunday morning and you send Him home at 12:o'clock. You want Him back at 7 at night 'til 8 and we don't need Him 'til Wednesday night.
When revival comes the lights don't  go out in the sanctuary for weeks and weeks and weeks.
You cannot standardize revival. I am not thinking of a church revival: I'm thinking of a national revival. There is only one hope for America and that is that we have a Divine Intervention in the nation. Forget your denomination forget your empty seats.

Let's see first of all how God grieves over the sins of the people, and after all, when you look in the Old Testament, God's argument was not with the Amalekites, and the Hitites and all the other "ites". God's problem in the Old Testament was Israel, God's problem today is not communism, Mormonism, of any other "ism". God's problem is His church today. We are so worldly.
A city wide crusade can cost two million dollars. Revival doesnt cost a red cent, except broken hearts.
I believe the key to revival is given here in Joel, "Let the priests, the ministers of God, weep between the altar and the door posts."

What we need now is
A revival of holiness.
A revival of character.
A revival of people who are utterly selfless
and prepared to lay their lives on the altar for God.

No man-I don't care how colossal his intellect-No man is greater than his prayer life.
There never has been a revival that I can trace,that hasn't been birthed back there with true, true intercession.

Read the Acts of the Apostles and all you read about is prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer. When they had prayed the place was shaken.
The formula of revival is:
Preachers need to hit the altars and weep because they have no tears,
Groan because there is no moving of the Spirit of God.
Apologize to God that we've kind of manipulated the supernatural.
Now, I am not just thinking of miracles of twisted limbs and other things.
I think the greatest miracle that God can do is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world, and make that unholy man holy and put him back in an unholy world and keep him holy. But we are more afraid of holiness today in the church than we are of sinfulness.
The devil is running his finger around the church of Jesus Christ and he says, "There is the church of JESUS Christ  asleep, LET IT SLEEP!! because if it ever discovers the power of the HOLY GHOST, if it ever rediscovers the resurrection power of JESUS, it will shake the world...

We sure need
a heaven born,
earth shaking,
hell-terrifying revival.
And it only comes through brokenness, it comes through honesty.


2 Chron: 7: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land
