(Excerpt) Many of us long to experience a greater sense of God's presence and power in our lives. Our hearts need to be revived. We will never meet God in revival until we first meet Him in brokenness.
"To be broken is the beginning of revival. It is painful, it is humiliating, but it is the only way." Roy Hession.
Brokenness is not a feeling or an emotion. Rather, it requires a choice, an act of the will.
Brokenness is the shattering of my will. It is saying, "Yes Lord!" No resistance, no chafing, no stubbornness.
Brokenness is the striping of self-reliance and independence from God.
Believers with broken, contrite hearts are receptive and responsive to the Word.
Broken people are self-denying and self-sacrificing.
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. 2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV
