A note to you:Its spring revival time again. As I get older it seems the time for revivals come quicker each year. I heard

someone say the other day that true revivals are not happening anymore. Churches are having revivals with nosalvations or no rededications. True, we dont seem to see the great numbers we used to see make decisions inrevivals.

But we must realize that revival is an individual decision that each of us must make on our own. Even ifthe churches dont see a great revival, we can still experience our own personal revival of a closer walk with Jesu

A rededication to personal prayer and studying our Bible that we individually can make.Dr. A. W. Tozer wrote the following about revival: One consequence of our failure to see clearly the tru

nature of revival is that we wait for years for some supernatural manifestation that never comes, overlooking

completely our own individual place in the desired awakening. Whatever God may do for a church must be donein the single unit, the one certain man or woman. Some things can happen only to the isolated, single person; theycannot be experienced en masse.

Statistics show, for instance, that 100 babies are born in a certain city on a given day. Yet the birth of eachbaby is for that baby a unique experience, an isolated, personal thing. Fifty people die in a plane crash; while theydie together they die separately, one at a time, each one undergoing the act of death in a loneliness of soul as utteras if he alone had died. Both birth and death are experienced by the individual in a loneness as complete as if onlythat one person had ever known them.

Three thousand persons were converted at Pentecost, but each one met his sin and his Savior alone. Thespiritual birth, like the natural one, is for each one a unique, separate experience shared in by no one. And so withthat uprush of resurgent life we call revival. It can come to the individual only. Though a visitation of divine life

reaches seventy five persons at once (as among the Moravian Brethren at Dusseldorf), yet it comes to each onesingly. There can exist no collective body of believers that can be revived apart from the units thatcompose the body.

Understood aright these are truths full of great encouragement and good hope. Nothing can hinder you orme from experiencing the revival we need. It is a matter for God and the solitary heart. Nothing can prevent thespiritual rejuvenation of the soul that insists upon having it. Though that solitary man must live and walk amongpersons religiously dead, he may experience the great transformation as certainly and as quickly as if he were inthe most spiritual church in the world.

While our country needs revival and many of our churches need revival, lets remember any revival has to

start with you and with me.

Yours in Christ,Bro. John
