…“The essence of wisdom for the church at a time like this is to look back into her own history.” When she does this, what will she find?

Revival cannot happen without the proclamation of these truths. It is with arrogance, pride, and the tendency to glorify oneself rather than God that stands between us and His mighty blessings of revival.

Hearing him talk about his ministry, current plans and some remarks about the past, was very moving for me. God truly has worked mightily through him.]
