It is not good Christians becoming better Christians—because as God sees us there are not any good Christians. But rather, revival is Christians honestly confessing that their Christian life is a valley of dry bones and by that very confession, qualifying for the grace that flows from the cross and makes all things new.

If God is to bless you at all through these pages, then you must come to them with a deep hunger of heart. You must be possessed with a dissatisfaction of the state of the church in general, and of yourself in particular—especially of yourself. You must be willing for God to begin His work in yourself first, rather than in the other. You must, moreover, be possessed with the holy expectancy that God can and will meet your need. If you are in any sense a Christian leader, the urgency of the matter is intensified many times over. Your willingness to admit your need and be blessed will determine the degree to which God can bless the people to whom you minister. Above all, you must realize that you must be the first to humble yourself at the cross. If a new honesty with regard to sin is needed among your people, you must begin with yourself.
