Your Personal Revival - Zeb McDaris Do you believe that you need a revival? There are three areas of work that need to be done in your life right now!
Complete Submission There is a reoccurring principle concerning this Christian life. It is the law of humility. In James 4:6-7 God's Word says " ...God rsisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble, Submit yourselves therefore to God..". God will not work with those who throne themselves.

"We ought not to tolerate for a minute the ghastly and grievous thought that God will not answer prayer."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Undaunted Radiance
"Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." Rom 8:37
Paul is speaking of the things that might seem likely to separate or wedge in between the saint and the love of God; but the remarkable thing is that nothing can wedge in between the love of God and the saint. These things can and do come in between the devotional exercises of the soul and God and separate individual life from God; but none of them is able to wedge in between the love of God and the soul of the saint.
