| | Re: | | A revival almost always begins among the laity. The ecclesiastical leaders seldom welcome reformation. History repeats itself. The present leaders are too comfortably situated as a rule to desire innovation that might require sacrifice on their part. And God's fire only falls on sacrifice. An empty altar receives no fire!

"Anyone engaged in Christian work at any level will find it assaulted from within and from without. The enemy has many weapons in his armory, and will bring all his forces against a work of God. The one responsible must steadily persevere and hold on until victory comes in each test. The enemy will do everything possible to weaken faith, [and] to undermine relationships, but as the intercessor finds comfort and strength in the Word of God, and maintains faith in God amid all the attacks, the victory comes." - Rees Howells

| | Re: | | “ Pharisees and Scribes were clinging religiously to the Scriptures, Jesus warned them of their knowledge without reality, of their form without power.
What value was their knowledge, their principles, their doctrinal correctness if they lacked reality, moral rectitude, or missed THE PERSON who could make it all real?
He warned them: "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify OF ME. And ye will not come TO ME, that ye might HAVE LIFE!" (John 5:39-40)
