Spiritual Revival
Every revival starts within one human heart…
Duane Bemis
Matthew 5:10-11
I am asked about Spiritual Revivals all the time, but the short answer to true revival comes from my own life's story.
According to Charles H. Surgeon revival means, ''To live again, to receive again life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished.1''

I needed personal revival for my fire, my passion; my love for ministry was nearly extinguished by religion. Religion and denominational issues so entrapped my wounded soul and nearly quenched my one time burning ablaze of a fire. I was reduced, by the ugliness of life, to a mere spark.

I knew I was a child of the King but they threw me into the dungeon of life. I knew I had been crucified with Christ but this new form of suffering and persecution just did not sit well with my spirit. Oh, I had been victimized by unbelievers but never by those who should know better. Unbelievers and their discrimination was no problem I knew how to stand with Christ. But h ...
