“There Was A Man Sent From God” (John 1:6)
The sealed heavens had opened! At last, the centuries-old wailing – “Oh, that Thou wouldest rend the Heavens” – had been heard and answered in an unusual way. Four crawling centuries of spiritual midnight had ended by the shattering presence of a man more incandescent than Halley’s Comet. By Leonard Ravenhill The people who had […]
The Power Of Faith In Christ
By Alexander Maclaren (1826 – 1910) When we are saved by faith, we mean, accurately, through faith. It is God who saves. It is Christ’s life, Christ’s blood, Christ’s sacrifice, Christ’s intercession that saves. Faith is simply the channel through which there flows into my emptiness the divine fullness, or to use the good old […]
The Men God Has Used In Revival
By Horatius Bonar Let us look for a little at the men God has used as instruments in times of spiritual awakenings. Let us note their character and contemplate their success. They were men of like passions as we are, yet how marvelously blest in their labors! Whence, then, came their vast success? What manner […]
The Lord’s Comfort And Strength For Life And Ministry
By Rich Carmicheal The hour we are living in is a very difficult hour for many people. This is not surprising since we are living in the final season before the Return of Christ. The devil knows his time is short, and so the spiritual battle for the hearts, minds and souls of mankind is […]
The All-Sufficiency Of Christ
By F. B. Meyer When the disciple whom Jesus loved fell at His feet as one dead; when the church at Smyrna needed encouragement to remain faithful unto death; when spirits athirst for God cry out for the living water; when the way has to be opened through the gates of the city to the […]
Soul Winners And Their Prayers
By Samuel L. Brengle (1860 – 1936) “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (Jas. 5:16). All great soul winners have been men of much and mighty prayer, and all great revivals have been preceded and carried out by persevering, prevailing knee-work in the closet. Before Jesus began His ministry, when great […]

Repent – The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand
By Henry Blackaby What was the essence of the preaching of Jesus? As the Son of God delivered the message from the heart of His Father, the first word out of His mouth was, “Repent” (Matt. 4:17). This was the essence of Jesus’ preaching. When our Lord came, He had a very specific message for […]
Praying For Your Neighbors
By Kim Butts Prayer is the most powerful form of evangelism, and everyone can do it! It is my personal belief that no one comes to Christ apart from prayer. Many of us had parents, grandparents or friends who prayed that we would know Jesus personally. Some of us may not know who prayed for […]

More Workers For His Harvest
By Rich Carmicheal “And seeing the multitudes, [Jesus] felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and downcast like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest’” (Matt. 9:36-38). The […]
