There is value in wise humancounsel.

The problem is that human counseldoes not carry with it the power toaccomplish the kind of change that

Gods Word can.


13/23

begets life. Every command is apromise; accepted by the will, received

into the soul, it brings with it the lifeof the Infinite One. It transforms thenature, and re-creates the soul in

the image of God. Education 126

The World: The Foundation of Revival 2. The Word and Jesus

Luke 24:27, 32 NKJV A nd beginning at Moses and all theProphets, He expounded to them in

all the Scriptures the thingsconcerning Himself.

And they said to one another, Did notour heart burn within us while Hetalked with us in the road, and while

He opened the Scriptures to us?


16/23

2. The Word and JesusFunctions of the Word; the Spirit {34}

T he Word of God and the Holy Spiritbears witness of Jesus. The Spiritleads us to a deeper experience with

Jesus through His Word.The purpose of the Holy Spirit in

revival is not primarily to manifestHimself through supernatural signsand wonders but to exalt Jesus

through His Word.


17/23


The baptism of the Holy Spirit is notabout our power to accomplish

great miracles.It is about Gods power to transformour lives and thats what revival

and reformation are all about.


18/23


Any so- called revival based solelyon external feelings or experience is

shallow at best, deceptive at worst.When revival is rooted in the Wordof God, it is an experience that lastsand makes a difference in our lives

and in the lives of the people

around us.


19/23

The World: The Foundation of Revival 3. The Word and Faith

Romans 10:17 NKJV S o then faith comes by hearing,and hearing by the word of God.


20/23

3. The Word and FaithBiblical Faith {35}

S peaking of the time just before Hisreturn, Jesus said, When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith

on the earth? Faith will be in shortsupply in the last days.

Is faith believing that God will give usanything we want? Is faith centered inour desires? Believing we will receive

it if we only believe hard enough?


21/23


Faith, true faith, is always focused onGods will, not on our wishes.

It is trusting in God, believing in Hispromises, and acting on His Word.Our faith grows as we listen to Gods

Word and put it into practice(Romans 10:17; James 2:17, 18) .


22/23


Opening our minds to the teachingsof Gods Word builds faith; and

doing what God says even if it iscontrary to our personal desires prepares us to receive the fullness of

the Spirits power.

great conflict.

The Great Controversy 593 594

I n order to endure the trial beforethem, they must understand the will

of God as revealed in His word;they can honor Him only as theyhave a right conception of His

character, government, andpurposes, and act in accordance

with them.
