DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Murray emphasizes the urgent need for a revival, calling for a
powerful renewing of God's Holy Spirit among His people. He stresses
that the core message should be about living wholly for God's glory and
being ready to surrender to the Holy Spirit's guidance. This revival
begins at home and expands outward, ultimately leading to a missionary
revival that reflects true spiritual devotion to Christ. Murray asserts
that a genuine revival in the Christian life is essential for effective
witnessing in a world that lacks knowledge of Christ.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are praying for a revival. We are praying for a mighty renewing of
God's Holy Spirit. Are we really preaching to God's people that the one
object that lies nearest God's heart, and for which he is willing to
give the Spirit in power, is to enable every child of his to live wholly
and undividedly for his glory and the kingdom of his Son? Are we
preaching that the one condition on which we may expect a mighty
revival, making God's people new, is the readiness to give themselves up
to the possession of the Holy Spirit, to use as he will to witness for
Christ in a world that knows him not?

This witnessing will begin at Jerusalem, at home; it will enlarge the
heart and not rest till it has reached every creature. A missionary
revival can only be part of a larger revival -- the restoration of
believers to a life of true spiritual exclusive devotion to Christ and
his service. A true spiritual revival in the Christian life will be the
power of the missionary revival.
