Revival tarries because we are not desperately looking for it. Revival tarries because we are not desperately desirous for a powerful move of God Psalm Revival tarries when the vessels are full of impurities and Revival tar iniquities Matthew Revival tarries when we are at ease in the day of unrighteousness Amos Revival tarries when we are lazy and indifferent Judges Revival tarries when there are no vision and prophecy Psalm Revival tarries because of the coldness and hardness of our heart Hosea Revival tarries because we are not repentant 2 Chronicles Revival tarries when the prayer altars have collapsed Daniel ; Isaiah Revival tarries because evangelism is so highly commercialised Matthew Revival tarries because of the compromise of the word of God Philippians Revival tarries because of carelessness.

Revival tarries because of fear Isaiah ; John , Revival tarries because we appreciate and steal the glory that belongs to God John Furthermore, what does this revival power involve? The power and authority of Christ to deliver to the uttermost Acts , God bringing about unusual miracles by the hands of His servants to reconcile sinners to God and save lost souls Acts , Transformation from the common mode of Christian ministry into a lifestyle of apostolic and New Testament power Acts Believers being respected in both heaven and hell Acts Dependence on the grace of God alone in all dealings 2 Corinthians The gospel spanning cultural and geographical boundaries Acts , The gospel penetrating the most difficult places and many souls converted Acts ; To effectively prepare for revival, a believer must recognise God as the source of every true revival Psalm , Acknowledge your shortcomings and the need to change from that state.

Humble yourself and cry for help 2 Chronicles Have a readiness of mind to return to God Jeremiah Preparation for spiritual revival involves warfare, therefore you must prepare for battles Hebrews Have undiluted discipline in the area of prayer Luke Be ready to confront beast in Ephesus and break down the satanic kingdom 1 Corinthians ; Job Engage the spirit of importunity in serious and agonising prayer.

Our accent is on paying, theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken; when they had prayed, the place was shaken! In the matter of New Testament, Spirit-inspired, hell-shaking, world-breaking prayer, never has so much been left by so many to so few. For this kind of prayer there is no substitute.

We do it--or die! Copyright , Leonard Ravenhill. Published by Bethany House Publishers. I forgot my password. If we could live every moment of every day under the eye of God, if we did every act in the light of the judgment seat, if we sold every article in the light of the judgment seat, if we prayed every prayer in the light of the judgment seat, if we tithed all our possessions in the light of the judgment seat, if we preachers prepared every sermon with one eye on damned humanity and the other on the judgment seat—then we would have a Holy Ghost revival that would shake this earth and that, in no time at all, would liberate millions of precious souls.

Of what and of whom do we protest? Were we half as hot as we think we are, and a tenth as powerful as we say we are, our Christians would be baptized in blood, as well as in water and in fire.

God takes all His great men there. The only power that God yields to is that of prayer. We will write about prayer-power, but not fight while in prayer. Repentance is not a few hot tears at the penitent form. It is not emotion or remorse or reformation.
