"Revival is the people of God living in the power of an ungrieved, unquenched Spirit."
~James A. Stewart
"Revival cannot be organized, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again." ~G. Campbell Morgan
"I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a church without power." ~Samuel Chadwick
"Does it grive you my friends, that the name of God is being taken in vain and desecrated? Does it grieve you that we are living in a godless age... But, we are living in such an age and the main reason we should be praying about revival is that we are anxious to see God's name vindicated and His glory manifested. We should be anxious to see something happening that will arrest the nations, all the peoples, and cause them to stop and think again." ~Martyn Lloyd-Jones
"I do not preach any new truth. I do not have any new doctrine.... We must have a revival that will mean purity of heart as a normal standard for everybody. We must be clean people, and not only clean outside." ~A.W. Tozer
"We don't know where the wind comes from or where it goes. But we can and do feel it. And it can wreck old patterns of living. A storm of wind is the same things as a meeting with the Holy Spirit of God. You don't site down and negotiate with either: you get blown about or blown up, and in that way you make progress and change. So will the explosion come in Church affairs. The Lord will get fed up with his children's foolishness and will bring about change. It will amount to a spiritual explosion. Paul experienced one." ~Cyril Brooks
"Why does the Church stay indoors? They have a theology that has dwindled into a philosophy, in which there is no thrill of faith, no terror of doom and no concern for souls. Unbelief has put on the fires of passion, and worldliness garlands the altar of sacrifice with the tawdry glitter of unreality. The Holy Spirit cannot conquer the world with unbelief, nore can He save the world with a worldly Church. He calls for a crusade, a campaign, and an adventure of saving passion. For this enterprise He wants a separated, sanctified and sacrificial people." ~Samuel Chadwick
"Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other work and waiting upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit's power might be manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and resources, and too little to the source of power." ~James Hudson Taylor
"Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late - and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience." ~A.W. Tozer
"Revival comes from heaven when heroic souls enter the conflict determined to win or die-or if need be, to win and die! "The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." ~Charles Finney
"Revival is falling in love with Jesus all over again." ~Vance Havner
"Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a gasoline engine on buttermilk." ~Billy Sunday
"The average Christian is so cold and contented with his wretched condition that there is no vacuum of desire into which the blessed Spirit can rush in satisfying fullness." ~A.W. Tozer
"Study the history of revival. God has always sent revival in the darkest days. Oh, for a mighty, sweeping revival today!" ~Adrian Rogers
"There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience."
~Charles Finney
