REVIVAL:
GOD’S WORK; GOD: HIS WORK

They did not program this woman. They could not. She had too much bounce in her soul! She was not involved in anything formal. She just went as fast as she could. No one planned her testimony for her (and thank God for that!). Sometimes I have been asked to meet with one group or another to “plan a revival.” You might as well try to plan a lightning bolt as to plan a revival. No one has ever done it yet, and no one will ever really “plan” or “program” a true revival.

The Lord God Almighty makes a world, and nobody “plans” it. When He raises the dead, no one “plans” it. And—let me tell you this—when God raises the dead it never comes as the fifth item on the “program.” Of that you can be sure!
