Colin Peckham emphasizes the importance of prayer as the essential preparation for revival, drawing examples from historical revivals in Northern Ireland, the Hebrides, and America. He highlights the need for a deep, exclusive relationship with God, where clean hands and pure hearts are required to ascend into His presence and experience revival power. The sermon underscores the connection between the holiness of God and the manifestation of revival, urging believers to seek God fervently with a genuine heart.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the profound horror that should grip believers when witnessing the sins of others, reflecting on how true holiness stirs a deep concern for the wickedness that forsakes God's law. He draws parallels with biblical figures like David and Jeremiah, who lamented the unholiness around them, and highlights the distress of the righteous, like Lot, in the face of immorality. Spurgeon warns that sin not only violates God's law but also serves as a reminder of our own sinful nature and the sacrifice of Christ. He urges believers to view sin with abhorrence, recognizing its destructive power and the dire consequences it brings. Ultimately, he calls for a heart that trembles at sin, as a sign of true holiness and reverence for God.
