******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

From George, Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah - The Worthy Brief From Israel For thus says the high and lofty One--He Who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, but with him also who is of a thoroughly penitent and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the thoroughly penitent & bruised with sorrow for sin. Isaiah 57:15 I've heard so many Christians ask, "How can I get more of the Holy Spirit?" As if the Holy Spirit is some kind of power or force that we can control or weild. What we should really be asking is, "How can the Holy Spirit have more of me?" We cannot control this power from on high. If we could, then we could be led to pride and strut around as if we're some kind of "Super Christian". But if we recognize that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person -- and that this Person is actually willing to live in us, we'd greatly be humbled! We must be very honored that the Spirit of God would inhabit these these corrupt vessels of ours and more importantly that He would even consider using us! It's only when we empty ourselves that we truly become filled! Let's empty ourselves of our selfish ambitions and desires today and allow ourselves to become broken before the Lord. We need to be truly filled with God's Power if we're going to impact the world for Him! "John answered, A man can receive nothing [he can claim nothing, he can take unto himself nothing] except as it has been granted to him from heaven. A man must be content to receive the gift which is given him from heaven; there is no other source. You yourselves are my witnesses - you personally bear me out - that I stated, I am not the Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), but I have only been sent before Him in advance of Him, to be His appointed forerunner, His messenger, His announcer. He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the groomsman who stands by and listens to him rejoices greatly and heartily on account of the bridegroom's voice. This then is my pleasure and joy, and it is now complete. He must increase, but I must decrease. He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so. He Who comes from above (heaven) is far above all others; he who comes from the earth belongs to the earth, and talks the language of earth - his words are from an earthly standpoint. He Who comes from heaven is far above all others - far superior to all others in prominence and in excellence. It is to what He has actually seen and heard that He bears testimony, and yet no one accepts His testimony - no one receives His evidence as true. Whoever receives His testimony has set his seal of approval to this: God is true. That man has definitely certified, acknowledged, declared once and for all, and is himself assured that it is divine truth that God cannot lie. For since He Whom God has sent speaks the words of God - proclaims God's own message, God does not give Him His Spirit sparingly or by measure, but boundless is the gift God makes of His Spirit. " John 3:27-34 (Amplified Bible)
