INTRODUCTION: “One day I told the Lord I would rather die than merely tread water throughout my career in the ministry…always preaching about the power of the Word and the Spirit, but never seeing it. I abhorred the thought of just having more services. I hungered for God to break through in our lives and ministry.” ~ Jim Cymbala…Brooklyn Tabernacle

CONCLUSION:
“Charles G. Finney says that revival is ‘a new beginning of obedience
to God’ and that obedience is both negative and positive, renouncing idols and
saying with Joshua: ‘…as for me
and my house, we will serve the Lord.’”
