Principles of Revival is an edited version of Finney's first book of published sermons, Sermons on Important Subjects. It is distinctively different in that it focuses on the psychology of revival and conversion versus the method-oriented approach of the other Finney volumes on revival. Newly edited by L.G. Parkhurst, the material cannot be found in print anywhere else (except for a few readings that relate to Principles of Victory) Major themes include: • The necessity of preaching to the conscience. • The inevitability of opposition to the gospel. • The operation of the sinner's mind. • Motivating the sinner to repentance. • The relationship in conversion between personal initiation and the work of the Spirit
In an age where values are questioned, families are falling apart, and where quality is being replaced by quantity, there is an ever-growing need for a revival of the morals and beliefs of a more stable time. This book is a guide to revival, focusing on past revivals - their personalities and principles - in order to stir all people to seek and expect future revivals.
Warrior for Revival is a riveting account of how the Lord Jesus touched the life of a young man, Philip Mantofa, delivered him from the depths of violence and depression, and used him mightily as a chosen vessel of revival in Indonesia and Asia. While Pastor Philip was still in his twenties, a divine firebrand sparked city-wide revivals which were noted for creating immediate and enduring impact, particularly among young people. More than 100,000 people experienced salvation while scores of youths were equipped and commissioned to pioneer thriving local churches. Such a transforming anointing and influence can only arise from a life deeply rooted in Scripture and an intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Warrior for Revival is evidence that God is able to raise young people to become standard-bearers even for the older generation.
In an age in which values are questioned, families are falling apart, and quality is being replaced by quantity, New Zealand evangelist Winkie Pratney argues that there is an ever-growing need for a revival of the morals and beliefs of an earlier, more stable time.r
Revival is a popular subject. Biblical examples of what happens when we follow God's will. Prepare your community, your church, your heart for revival.
"Any tiny work that God has ever done through me and through my ministry for Him dates back to that hour when I was filled with the Spirit. That is why I plead for the spiritual life of the Body of Christ and the eternal ministries of the Eternal Spirit through God's children—His instruments." — A. W. Tozer The Size of the Soul is a collection of editorials by A. W. Tozer, written while he was the editor of Alliance Life. Known throughout the world (his editorials were printed simultaneously in Great Britain), Tozer had a pithy writing style and a keen prophetic eye to the condition of the church. In this 12th book of editorials, Tozer covers topics like: Steps to revival The needed reformation The Christian's hope The causes of religious confusion The need for prophetic insight
“Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down!” Millions have prayed that, and pray it now. In the Day of Thy Power is filled with plentiful quotations from eyewitnesses of revival and with inescapable biblical authority for such “times of refreshing . . . from the presence of the Lord.” It unfolds the conditions by which God still comes, as in apostolic days, with “mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God.” This first book of Arthur Wallis, written in 1956, was an immediate success when first published and has become a classic on the subject of revival.
In every era the church needs revival—certainly today as much as ever. And in the heart of every committed Christian there is the longing for personal revival—to know the quality and depths of spiritual reality, and the presence of God in one's personal life. This was the deepest desire of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, one of the great 20th-century Bible expositors. It was also the purpose behind this series of messages which were first given on the 100th anniversary of the Great Revival which started in Wales, and swept across England and throughout the United States and to the far corners of the world. As Dr. Lloyd-Jones recognized, it is a rare time in the history of the church when there is a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit— and a time of special interest of every Christian who longs for revival today. As Dr. J. I. Packer writes in his foreword, Dr. Lloyd-Jones believed in "the necessity of revival—that is, a quickening divine visitation—as the only vent that can avert ultimate spiritual disaster. The thrustful urgency of the sermons in this book testifies to the depth of his conviction that without revival in the church there is really no hope for the Western world at all." Dr. Lloyd-Jones deftly draws principles from the lives of Old and New Testament characters as well as expounding some of the great prayers of the Bible. Clearly and forcefully, he presents a masterful exposition of the circumstances accompanying revival in the past, why each generation needs it, and how it will come about today. We must come to the sovereign God, forsake our sin, and wait upon Him for this special, essential outpouring. God, bring us revival!
