acts-2:38

These three great feasts of which we read here were the feasts of gathering "in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name in."

(Words of Faith, Vol. 3, 1884, page 261.) John 1. In the first part of this chapter we get abstractedly what Christ was: the Word, the Word with God, and who was God - life and light.

t's true to say that revival in the Body of Christ never begins with us...it always begins with God. - We don't engineer revival. - We can't program it. - God has to send us his Spirit. - God has to speak a word that wakes us up...raises us from the dead.
