Isaiah 57:15 – For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.’

DAILY READING; • Luke 9:28-62; Genesis 16; Psalm 9

Stanley Frodsham’s book, ‘Smith Wigglesworth, Apostle of Faith’, tells a story of how revival broke out in a train when Smith Wigglesworth was travelling.

Wigglesworth was a man known for his life of purity, deep prayers and study of the Word. This made him to greatly manifest God’s power wherever he went.
One day, he boarded a train to travel to Cardiff in South Wales. Throughout most of the journey he was engaged in praying quietly and communicating with God.
The carriage where he sat contained other passengers who were engaged in various conversations. There was so much talking and joking that Wigglesworth seemed unable to find an opportunity to share the Gospel with these passengers. However he continued quietly in prayers as the journey progressed.
As the train was finally nearing the station, Smith Wigglesworth stood up and went to the convenience to wash his hands. However as he returned back to his seat, a man jumped up and said, ‘Sir, you convince me of sin,’. On saying this the man fell on his knees. Soon the other people in the carriage also began crying out the same way.
They asked Wigglesworth ‘Who are you? What are you? You convince us all of sin’…”
Indeed, as Wigglesworth prayed throughout the journey, the Holy Spirit had worked in the hearts of the other passengers to convict them of sin and cause a revival to erupt on the train.

In the history of the Church, revival has never happened in a place that had not first been saturated with prayers.
Everyone God has used to bring revival has always been a man or woman of prayer and purity whose life overflowed with God’s Presence and power.
Likewise for us to see revival and the eruption of God’s power in our generation, we need to commit to a life of prayers, holiness and study of God’s Word.
The truth is that God works in us, before He can work through us. He will cleanse, purge and purify us with His fire, before His power will flow through us.

When we accept spiritual responsibility and pay the price for revival, our lives will be so filled with God’s power that people around us will sense it and know it.
When you walk into a place, even without saying a word, the power of the Spirit will begin to affect the men and women around you. They will acknowledge that you are different and treat you as such.

Indeed, there is a price to pay to see the manifestation of God’s power in our lives. It requires commitment to a lifestyle of fervent prayers, purity, study of the Word and fellowship with the Spirit.
Certainly, those who make such spiritual deposits, are those who can make withdrawals of miracles, signs and wonders.
Today, as we sincerely make the decision to pay the price for revival, we will see amazing eruption of God’s power, that will affect the world around us and certainly turn us into a wonder.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for igniting fresh fire and fervency in me. Please help me to pay the necessary spiritual price so that I can experience an eruption of Your power and miracles in my life in Jesus Name
