TRUST IN THE SOVEREIGN WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Revival is not a mere rearranging of our ecclesiastical furnishings; nor a resurrecting of our historical memories; neither is it a response to our greatest plans and programs. Revival is that holy and sovereign move of God in an individuals life that replaces all that is spiritually dead with all that is spiritually alive.
