I'm pumped to read the whole book, so I thought I'd post a quote from it that was made availible a few months back:
I propose to you that the reason “revival” really tarries is not because there aren’t enough people “crying out to God” or because there’s so much sin in the land.
I believe 100% of the reason that “revival” really tarries is because we have an entire generation of Christians who look nothing like Christ and have little to no clue what He actually did on the cross for them.
When you really begin to understand the work that Christ did on the cross, it absolutely sets you free and you can’t help but share this amazingly Good News Gospel with everyone you talk to!
People are healed, oppressive, tormenting demons are cast out, sin loses its grip on people who have struggled with it for decades…and believers are empowered as they realize that God has completely done His part and is now waiting on the Church to arise and take dominion over the works of the devil on this planet.
I submit to you that one of the largest problems and hindrances to “revival” in the church today is that there is an entire generation of Christians “crying out to God” to come be with and forgive them when they already have Him and they’re already forgiven…
...all the while ignoring the very real cries of the lost ones around them who do not have God and desperately need to be made aware that sin has been atoned for in the Person of Jesus Christ, that there is a way that they can be truly set free NOW—from sin, sickness, torment, and yes, even death (Matthew 10:7-8).
Can't wait to read the book, That sounds awesome!
