PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT SERIES
PRAYING
FOR REVIVAL
Revival vs
Normal Christian Life
Acts 19: 9-10 he departed
from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the
A revival is different from a
normal ministry. Like normally I just go to places and just teach and preach
and I expect the Holy Spirit to move and the Holy Spirit does move. For some
people that is revival. But I say that is normal ministry work. Revival is
above that. The depth of impact of a revival is deep and eternal. And usually
revival revolves around an impact on society as a whole. In other words when
God send a revival the impact will be felt on the man on the streets to the man
on the throne. That's what a revival does. Revival shakes, revival is a special
move, which is above normal.
Revivals Are Special Moves of God
Above that is what we have
Acts 20: 11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul. Now
God works special miracles. The word miracle in the Greek already means special.
So in the actual translation it would be God works special specials. God works
in special manifestation above what they would normally experience. They were
experiencing God all the time. But there is special manifestation of God. That
is what I call a move.
I just want to point it in the
scriptures that we could understand what a revival is. It is something that we
need to ask for, something that we need to pray for, besides living the normal
Christian life. Acts chapter five is a small little portion of revival. And
apparently they don't do that every day. It was a special move of God in Acts
5: 12-16 And through the hands of the
apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all
with one accord in Solomon's porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them but
the people esteemed them highly. And believers were increasingly added to the
Lord, multitudes of both men and women so that they brougt
the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least
the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. And a multitude
gathered from the surrounding cities to
So when we talk about praying
for revival, we are not talking about just praying to be normal. We have to be
normal. Of course to be normal in God means to be abnormal to the world and to
be abnormal to the average Christians. When they hear that you are going to an
overnight prayer, to them it is not normal. But these things are normal. One
day when we all get back into heaven and we look back at our early life then
people realize and say you know how far off we are where God wants us to be.
But yet we need to learn to ask for those specials that God has reserved.
In Acts 3: 19 Repent therefore and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come
from the presence of the Lord. See there are times of refreshing. That is
the move of God. A revival is a special manifestation of God. In verse 20 -21, and
that He may send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before, whom heaven must
receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by
the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. Revivals are
times of refreshing and restoration of all
things. God works in great moves.
Consolidations
And between the moves is what
I call consolidation. Consolidation should be a part and parcel of our life.
And if you don't understand how to consolidate what God does. Then the effect
and impact of the revival is not lasting. An example of that in the Old
Testament is when Moses builds his tabernacle. That was the time when God
manifested on the mountain. Then when Moses came down he gave them some work to
do. He says God wants us to build a tabernacle. And he gave them the
dimensions. He draws out for them. He tells them exactly what God wants. Then
all the people with their skill came together. And it took them one year to
build the tabernacle. Guess what happened in that one year. The pillar of fire
is still there. But if you see it every day it becomes very common. It is called
the parable of the bathtub. If you turn on the hot water, fill the bathtub and
you step into it you feel very warm. Normally you feel so warm that you thought
this is too hot. But if you get into the bathtub and your body acclimatized to
the temperature, you actually can go a little bit hotter. Your body has
acclimatized to that temperature. You don't feel that hot any more. You get
used to it. The Israelites were so used to the supernatural everyday. That is
common for them. None of us have ever tasted manna. They tasted that special
food until they were tired of it. They complained and wanted something else.
Why, because it became so common. And they see the supernatural so much,
especially the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night. When
they see these things they say God is right there. His manifestation presence
can be physically seen. When they don't have water they complain. We look at
them and we wondered.
Let me tell you one day when
we look back from heaven we realize some of the silly things we ourselves go
through and do. In between the building of the tabernacle is the consolidation
period. They don't see that special. It was normal. But normal for them is
abnormal for the world. When the tabernacle was completed the special came in.
After Moses dedicated the tabernacle the glory of God filled it so full that
even Moses couldn't enter (Ex 40:34-35). But God didn't keep it that way all
the time. The tabernacle is built so that you could go in and do sacrifices.
What is the point of God filling the tabernacle full of His glory that you
cannot go in? Let's say we dedicate this place to the Lord and then God's glory
fills this place. When we come to worship God and the cloud is so thick that
you cannot get in. Then we end up all worshipping in the car park. God wouldn't
do things like that. But why does He manifest. He manifests so that we get a
glimpse of His greater being. What happened is after He manifested in Exodus
forty, the glory of God slowly lifted so that the priest can perform the
sacrifices. It was a period of consolidating.
Cycles of refreshing and consolidations
God has designed the spiritual
world to have refreshing. There are times of refreshing, and times of
consolidation. Times of refreshing, times of testing.
And it is a cycle that we need to flow with. Even in the natural we are all
like that. How would you like to have no weekends and work from Sunday to Sunday. No weekends at all, no break. And every day is
monotonous; it is same thing day in and day out. Monotony kills initiative.
Imagine a world where everyday is the same. And you do the same thing everyday.
There are no holidays, no birthdays; everyday is the same. What a dull world it
will be. We like what I call a break. We like a holiday. They say that the mind
doesn't actually need to rest. The mind rests by focusing a different thing. It
is working all the time, 24 hours. But we feel that rest when the mind has what
I call a change of doing different thing. That is what God has designed it into
the human natural life and in the spiritual life. We all need what we call
times of refreshing. We need to know what is normal. Then we need to pray what
is special, asking God for a revival, times of refreshing.
First Law of Revivals :
Having the Promise
There are laws that are
involved in praying for a revival. There are laws that are involved that we
cannot bypass. An example in praying for a revival and move of God would be
like Acts chapter one. The disciples are praying for something special: the coming
of the Spirit to the planet earth in fullness. The Spirit has already come in a
certain measure when Jesus breathed on them in the gospel of John 20: 22 and
said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit." So God has already done
something in their lives. They have already received a certain manifestation of
the Holy Spirit. But in Acts 1 they were praying for a special coming of the
Spirit. They were told to ask, to pray, to wait. So the first thing before you
can pray for a revival is to know what the word said about revival, to know
what is the promise of God on the revival. Then you can start praying towards
it. To flow in the move of God, you need to hear a rhema,
a logos, a promise. They had a promise to go by.
Some people don't realize it,
but when there is a prophecy that says I am going to do a marvelous powerful
thing, they will just sit down, shake their legs, waiting for it to come. They
don't realize that when a promise is given, they need to work on that promise.
A promise is given so that we will engage into the first law of praying for
revival. That is we will have a promise for revival. If God promises the same
revival to
Now here they have a promise. God can work a
special promise and God can speak in many ways. And we realize that there are many
promises here and there as to what God is speaking in a fellowship, in your
home and talk about a move of God coming to your home. For example God could
say some personal thing to you that could be classified as times of refreshing.
A lot of promises for times of refreshing in your personal life, in your family
life, in your church life, in your fellowship, in your school, are not coming
to pass because people don't realize the laws behind the revival. It does not
just come by itself. We need to build up in prayer for it although we have God
promising something.
Before you enter the promise
area, you are not sure of it. So you are seeking the mind of God and asking God
what does He desire? When God reveal part of His mind
then you know what He wants you to do.
So number one we need to have a promise.
Whether God personalize it to your life, or God gives you a vision, you need a
promise. Sometimes you need to first get it from the word. And develop faith in
that area and work it forth. You need a promise of a revival. A promise of
something that God wants to do in life.
Second Law of Revivals :
Plodding Period
Then the second thing is what
I call the plodding period. Plodding is where you are keeping on, just going on
continuously, going in day in day out, plodding on in season and out of season.
There is a time for that. And that is a requirement before the revival comes,
before the promises of God come forth. In the book of Acts after they have
received the promise, it says in Acts 1: 14 These
all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and
Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. They continued praying.
And also in Acts 2: 1, When the day of
Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Notice they were continuing in prayer. It lasted for ten days. Sometimes it can
last for years.
D.L. Moody a mighty preacher
from the
David Brainnerd,
the missionary to the Indians in
In the l950s a lot of
evangelists saw all kinds of miracles and signs and wonders. They said it was
so easy; it is just like miracles were in the air. All you have to do is speak
about healing and people got healed. It was a special move. After that there
was a time of consolidation. And then it goes on into a restriction onto the
gifts and ministry. There is a period of plodding. Sometimes it may take ten
days. Sometimes it may take years. Sometimes it may take a few months. But God
has special times of refreshing.
Now in this plodding period,
it is not a period of faithlessness. But it is a period testing our hunger. How
much we really want it. How much we really mean business with God. How much we
are willing to press through into the things that God has promised. It is like
a testing period during the plodding. First is promise, second is plodding,
just plodding on and on continually, sometimes it seems like it is nothing,
like mire and dirt. But you are digging through. And you keep on at it during
the plodding period. There are many people who are praying for revival and they
give up half way in the plodding period. They live and die without seeing the
move of God. They give up during the plodding period. That is an important
period.
Why is there a plodding? You see times of
refreshing have to synchronize with God's calendar. God has a calendar for all
events. And His times of refreshing are designed at certain places and certain
times. So we may not be fully aware of His times and seasons. So God cannot
depressurize into a situation where He has to adapt and re-do His calendar. He
knows all things and He has planned it all from beginning to end. And He has a
calendar of timing.
Like for example on this
occasion in Acts 2: 1. God has designed that it will happen exactly on the day
of Pentecost. Who will know it? Who will have realize it, nobody. Jesus
wouldn't tell them. You see if Jesus had told them, "I am going to go now.
I have been with you all for forty days since my resurrection. And there is
another ten days to go before the day of Pentecost. I want you to keep waiting
on God for the promise of the Holy Spirit that He has promised. It will not
come until the ten days." Do you know that will produce lazy Christians?
"It is going to come in the tenth day." So you don't get serious until
day number nine. Like some people when they study for their exams, they study
at the last minute. So on the ninth day they quickly do all the repenting.
Tomorrow God is coming. And the sad thing is if they do that, and they enter
the day of Pentecost, nothing will show up. What is wrong? The outpouring
requires ten days of faithful trial and testing. Then you postpone it. It is
possible because the day of Pentecost is a feast that last a week or so. If
there is a lack of faithfulness, it maybe delayed. We realized that God's plan
could be delayed.
The entering of the
John Soong was an evangelist to
In Kenneth E. Hagin's
life the phases were not synchronized. When we look over in heaven and we minus
off those dillydallying here and there it would probably synchronize. But from
our early point of view sometimes there is addition of delay here and there and
the whole thing doesn't looked synchronized. Because
before he entered his first phase it was 16 years. Then after he entered his
first phase, a few years later he entered into his second phase. Then second
phase it seems like quite some time before he entered third phase. Then between
third and forth phase it looks like a longer time
before he entered in. For him it was not a consistent period.
But there is such a thing as
cycles in a person life. Every one of us has a cycle in our life that God is
working by. There are times of refreshing. Jesus has his times of refreshing.
Imagine living for thirty years without doing a miracle and he is the Son of
God. Living for thirty years making chairs and tables.
Thank God that there was no chair preserved or otherwise people will start
worshipping them. One reason why He has never chosen to preserved a writing because people will forget what He wrote about and
concentrate on the actual ink He used. That's where our Lord Jesus was for
thirty years. What was He waiting for? The cycle of God's work. He has to wait
because He was also bounded by prophetic time.
The Bible has already recorded
in the book of Daniel that sixty-nine weeks of years must come to pass and then
the Messiah will manifest. Now the sixty weeks of years did not come to pass
until the time that He was thirty years old. So that means thirty years of
preparatory years. He was at the same time bounded by prophetic timing. At the
same time bounded by times of refreshing God has seasoned in His prophetic
cycles. And God kept the Holy Spirit from Him in the sense of being upon Him
for thirty years. He never complained. He never said, "God. I want it
now." It will be just like some of us who don't usually experience vision
or dreams or special manifestations and you said God why is it not sooner. Well
there is as time and a season. When it comes, it will come suddenly. And you
began operating in marvelous ways. Like it is as part of you
all the time.
The moment Jesus had the
Spirit on Him He just operated very powerfully. See He never complained that He
never had the Spirit on Him. What did He do? He was faithful as a carpenter. He
was faithful in His work, faithful in the word, faithful
in prayer but always looking forward to the time. Because when he was twelve
years old He verbalize it. He says that He must be
about His Father business. He knew why He came. He had a destiny to perform.
And His eyes were on His destiny all the time. He knew that there is a time for
that. And He gave Himself for that, preparing Himself for that. A promise, a
plodding and then there is a refreshing when he was thirty years old. Each of
us has as promise.
Third Law of Revivals :
Timing
Jesus appeared to me. He told me three things.
Only one of them is partially operating. And I could see in my spirit exactly
some of the things He was talking about. There is nothing I can do. I could
fast forty days but I could never make it manifest because there is a timing.
But watch it there. A revival is not only God's time but it is also our time.
Long ago I was in a traveling and preaching ministry. I was with brother in
this non-charismatic denominational church. And they had about one third of the
people baptized in the Spirit. And they got all kind of visions and dreams. And
they were really looking forward to their whole church moving into God. And
they got all kind of prophecies and promises of God that God will do it. Five years after they told me about that I met him again. It
has not fully come to pass yet. Then I remember I was sitting on his rocking
chair and he asked me, "Would you tell me something about revival?"
There are three views on
revivals. One is that it is fully initiated by God. When God wants to do it, He
does it. Nothing stands in His way. Number two, revival is a possibility and
norm. If you will pay the price for it, it is here. It is all fully initiated
by man. Number three, revival has a part of God to play and a part of man. And
I turned to him as said which do you think is the scriptural view? All three
cannot be scriptural because they maybe contradictory. He thought for a moment
and then he said I think the third view. And then he went on further and said,
"What are you trying to get at?" See I was trying to say to him that
no matter how many promises he has on revival, based on the third view, which
is the most scriptural, God has His time and man has
his part to play. That if what the Spirit wants to do in the church is
constantly rejected and God giving chance after chance then forget it. Well he
took the message and pressed on in their intercession for another five years.
As a result, his church is prospering today and they saw the move of God.
See sometimes when God wants
to do it, it is His time to do it and we are not ready it doesn't happen. There
is a delay. Sometimes when we are ready but it is not His time nothing will
happen. We have to be patience. But when we are ready and He is ready that's
it. That is a time of refreshing.
When Jesus was just a little
infant, there were a lot of faithful men who are ready to be used by God.
Simeon was faithful. So was Anna the prophetess. But all these people lived on
the other side of the cross before Jesus manifested. They would be ready. I mean
if Jesus had been around at that time, Simeon could have been qualified as one
of His disciples. He would be one of the seekers after truth that Jesus would
have. But he lived before the time for that prophetic fulfillment, so God
rewarded him with a personal reward. It was not so much a revival. See God can
gives personal reward when you are ready. When you work something He has to
think in term of the whole universe. Sometime we want to work something and
think only of us. But when He works He has to think in term of the universe.
Then He has to go back to the correct Daniel prophecy. God's timing was not
yet. But if a person is ready, what is the best God can do? Let me tell you
what God does. He will reward that person personally. What was Simeon's special
blessing? God told him that before he dies He is going to let him see the
Messiah. It is not a revival in a sense. It was only to him personally. Because
he was ever ready, he goes there by the temple and saw baby Jesus, eight days
old. That is why Jesus told his disciples that many would have loved to hear
what they hear. So Simeon took baby Jesus eight days old in the gospel of Luke
says he lifted up his eyes to God and thank God and said now he is ready to
die.
We realize that in the move of
God, God has His time. When God is ready we are not ready it does not happen.
There is a delay. God was ready to bring them to the
Creating A Revival Atmosphere
The day of Pentecost was the first New Testament Revival. It was only
the beginning of what the prophet Joel has prophesied. But this is what was
spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh."
(Acts 2:16-17). It is the purpose of the Lord that this whole Era between the
ascension of Jesus and His second appearing, from
Before a revival can sweep through a locality, there must be an
outpouring of heartfelt prayer from God’s people to God's throne. Until we
shall have a stronger desire for the Spirit, we may as well not talk so much
about revival, for revival is the Spirit Himself filling one's heart.
"Revival" means life. The Spirit only is that life, the life
of God. For this purpose, God has given us an extra prayer power beyond and
above that given under the Old Covenant. Why did God reserve the gift of
praying in tongues for Christians under the New Covenant? Why is there no
record of any one speaking in tongues in the Old
Testament? Many of the prophets moved very deep into the spirit of God. They
prophesied and performed great miracles. But they never ever spoke in tongues.
God has reserved for the New Covenant saints an outpouring of the Spirit in
such a way that they could have the prayer in tongues flowing out from their
inner most being. Jesus says these are the rivers that flow from his inner
being. John 7:37- 38 'If any man is thirsty, let him come to me! Let
the man come and drink who believes in me! As scripture says:
From his breast shall flow fountains of living water.'
This
has to do with what He wants to do in the New Covenant. The New Covenant is the
covenant where God pours out his Spirit upon all flesh. All flesh according to
Acts 2 shall receive the outpouring of the Spirit. Acts 2:17
In the days to come - it is the Lord who speaks - I will pour out
my Spirit on all mankind. So the outpouring comes upon us first.
Praying in the
Spirit releases the great things from God
To be
more accurate, we should say that it is first a down pouring from heaven. And
then it is an flowing out from us to the world. God
has reserved this special gift for us in the New Covenant because of the
greatness, the height, and the depth of all the things that God wants to do in
the New Covenant. God says before I ever do anything in this world, I have
always asked a man to stand in prayer. I have always asked a man in any
generation to stand in prayer. God says I cannot do anything unless a man or
woman prays. Ezekiel 22:30 So I sought for a man among them who would
make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I
should not destroy it; but I found no one. All through the Bible miracles,
provisions and deliverance happened because God found a man to stand in the
gap. In the Bible, before God does anything, God always requires prayer. He
told Ezekiel that He wanted to save the nation of
Under
the New Covenant He is going to do great and exceeding things.
God has
promised great things for mankind, yet He seeks for a man to stand in the gap
before He does anything. It follows that these great things can come to pass
only when there are Christians 'standing in the gap' to intercede and pray down
these great things. And these 'great things' can only materialise when
Christians pray 'great prayers'. God will not violate nor bypass the law of
prayer. He will always work through the spiritual laws that He has ordained.
The
last days first started in the Book of Acts. Peter says in Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days. So
the last days began in Acts right up to today. We are living in these last
days. In the New Covenant because of the greatness of what He wants to do in
these last days, He needs a great amount of prayer. For the greater things that
God wants to do, there must be greater prayer going forth to the throne of God.
Men are limited and they cannot pray these great prayers unless God helps them
supernaturally. If God had left mankind to pray in his own way, it
would have taken a long, long time for Him to perfect His plan on earth. That
is one reason why His Son Jesus came, that He may go back and receive the
promise of the Father. And the promise of the Father is the Holy Spirit being
poured down upon us. And when the promise of the Father is poured down upon us,
He gives us a supernatural ability to pray that the Old Covenant saints could
not have. In this way, the New Covenant saints could pray and bring about the
will of God.
Praying in the spirit is like the formation of rain. Clouds are the result of
tiny little droplets of water vapour floating up to the sky. And they
then form different kinds of clouds according to the intensity of their
gathering. When the weight in the clouds becomes heavy, a reaction begins. The
clouds begin to turn back into water and rain starts falling. One after another
the water vapours begin to form droplets and start falling. And that is where
we receive them as rain. The revival is like rain falling down. Before the down
pouring of God's Spirit from heaven and the out pouring of God's Spirit from us
to others comes a season of lifting up of our water vapours of prayers to God.
So our prayers will go forth and God can begin to make use of our prayers to
release great blessings to the world. And through our prayers He can give
authority or permission to act on this earth on our behalf. God will not
violate His laws. According to His laws there must be prayers going forth. And
the prayers that go forth form the clouds of blessings that bring spiritual
rain down on us. And the spiritual rain comes into us and it flows out from us.
Our prayers are like little drops of water vapour coming up before God’s throne
in prayer. When Christians come together to pray, there will be a release of
the power of God falling down in their midst.
Praying in the
Spirit prays down the Will of God
When the earth was first created, God had already desired to do a work on it. In
these last days, He wants the work to be done quickly. For this reason, in
these last generations, He gives His people a supernatural ability to pray in
tongues through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. When we are baptised in the
Spirit of God, the gift of tongues that He has given to us could ascend the
heights that praying with our minds could not ascend. Praying in tongues will
help us go deep into the things of God and pray out the will of God onto this
earth. All sound wonderful except for one problem. God’s people are not
praying in tongues like they should have. They are not making use of what God
has given them to do. Some Christians spend ten minutes praying in tongues.
Some Christians do not even pray after they were baptised in the Spirit.
They put their gift of tongues on the shelf. God wants His people to pray in
the Spirit so that His will can be done.
Romans
8:26 The Spirit too comes to help us in our weakness. For when we cannot
choose words in order to pray properly, the Spirit Himself expresses our plea
in a way that could never be put into words, and God who knows everything in
our hearts knows perfectly well what He means, and that the pleas of the saints
expressed by the Spirit are according to the mind of God.
And when we pray in the Spirit, we pray the prayer in the perfect will of God.
We can bring the perfect will of God on this planet earth.
In the parable of the ten
virgins as recorded in Matthew 25, five were foolish and five were wise. But do
you know that all the ten virgins were asleep? At midnight there was a cry that
woke them up. Who gave that cry? Who gave that call? Jesus said he that has ear
let him hear what my Spirit says. It is the Spirit of the living God. The
Spirit of the living God says, "Come and pray". The sound of that
midnight cry that woke the virgins was the voice of the Holy Spirit. That is
why in Revelation chapter 2 and 3 at the end of every church message, God says
he who have ear let him hear what my Spirit is saying to the churches. For the
Spirit of God is speaking, crying. Why do you think we cry when we
travail? The Spirit of God is crying through us. The Holy Spirit is the
only person spoken of in the Bible as one whom you can grieve. Ephesians 4:30...you
will be grieving the Holy Spirit of God. And the same Holy Spirit gives us
the ability to pray and travail the will of God upon the planet earth.
Conclusion
There are three things that we
are talking about. Number one the promise. You get it
by the rhema or logos. Number two the plodding. Don't
neglect that. It is required of us to remain ready, to remain fervent, to ever wait upon him. Number three as we see there is the
timing. There is a timing for times of refreshing. As we pray for revival,
there are certain times that you are in the plodding time: be faithful. Certain
times you haven't really hear from God. You don't know
what to claim and what to flow in. Seek God ask his direction. Yield to His
voice. Then when the times of refreshing come just enjoy it. I like it when
time of refreshing because when it is time for refreshing you don't have to do
much. The goings does it by itself. You just flow along. When there is a time
of refreshing that is when you rest. A refreshing is when you rest; you really,
really rest. Times of refreshing gives us spiritual rest where you are floating
along in the Spirit of God. And there is not necessary that much effort needed
because you have entered a strong current and the current carries you. But
there are times where the river flows and there is a steep place and the
current gets strong. The currents will carry you, and you just enjoy it. But
there times when it is just flat and you got to do some paddling. There is a
flow but more gentle. When there are times of refreshing the current gets
stronger and you just enjoy it. You can put away the ors and just sit tight and
let him carry you into the realm of God's Spirit.
As we aim towards what is
considered as normal in the bible, let's not miss out on times of refreshing
that are necessary for our life and for our spiritual health. Because when you
have one time of refreshing it will give you enough encouragement and energy to
last through another period of plodding. So God spaced it out nicely so that we
are always refreshed in God.
Let's seek God for revival, seek God for a
move of God. This country has not really have a move
of God yet. A move of God will affect the man in the streets to the man on the
throne. That is the true move of God. It will affect powerfully. And we need to
pray for God's move to affect the whole nation. We got to pray for God's
special move. And when it is revival time, it is fantastic. You could feel it
in the atmosphere. You don't have to do much. You don't have to say much.
People get convicted and say what must we do to be
saved.
In
That is part of the thing. A revival can only come
when there is corporate prayer. So the first move that God has to do is to
enlist and enroll. I will say that if 100% of any fellowship in church gets on
their knees together, they will see something like God's time of refreshing.
But most of the time is 10% of the people doing 90% of the work and 90% of the
people doing 10% of the work. If you have stopped seeking God for revival, you
are only going for the normal and not for the special. If you are satisfied
with where you are spiritually, you have missed the fact that there is a
special where we must aim for. Don't stop although you have progressed thus
far, well and good, keep it up. You have achieved a high level of what I call
normal Christian life. Don't stop there. There are special, specials. And if
you contact special, specials, it will make you special. Moses was never the
same after that. Nobody who gets into the refreshing will come out the same.
Aim for that.
