Beginning Statements:

  1. The blessedness of revival begins with individuals and spreads to their societies and environments. Isaiah 57:15-17 It begins with people and ends in places.

If you allow revival to stay in you alone, it will die with time. You may not always be up, sometimes you will need to draw strength from other brethren to remain up.

  • Prayer is a necessity among men, not a choice. Luke 18:1
  • To preserve a revived life, massive praying is highly recommended.
