In true revivals, people's sinfulness is revealed to them and it drives people to their faces first not their feet. Revival is held out to people like a piece of candy that is nothing but sweetness.
It is arrogant for ANY organization to feel that THEY are the ones entrusted with the "holy grail" of the moving of God's spirit.

That resonates more truth regarding the state of today's churches with so much focus on inner-ministering. We've become sheep gorging ourselves week after week in our churches; rarely, aware of the lost dying sheep all around us.
Why do so many saints lack the compassionate heart of our Lord? Perhaps, it's just many following the lead of their local shepherd.
When shepherds grow old in their traditional and familiar pastures, the prospect of leaving for greener ones can be daunting. I pray and believe that this is the beginning of the revival that will go on throughout eternity.
We know the true God. We know His name. We must have His heart of love.
