Brokenness

Ingredients for Revival Experience
Some conditions for G-d’s People to prepare for Revival!
A broken spirit!

 

The first confession of a broken person is admission of total inability to succeed without G-d’s favor. A clear heart cares and habitually guards against everything that pollutes the mind. (Psalm 31:12; 34:18; 51:10-17; Matthew 21:44; 1 Samuel 15:24)

 

A broken spirit brings quickening of conscious.

A broken spirit is a sensitive spirit. It discerns what is amiss. (Filtering it)

A broken spirit is pliable, teachable and never reactionary. (root; pride)

A broken spirit is never closed minded or stubborn.

A broken spirit is soft and easily penetrated. (a hard heart cannot penetrated at all!)

A broken spirit is bent easily to humility.

A broken spirit has no pride! (All ideas of its own importance are gone)

A broken spirit has no hypocrisy! It will reveal itself to God (Transparent)

A broken spirit has deep sincerity and integrity!

A broken spirit is accomplished through G-d’s dealings. (You can be like a “worm” or “snake”)

A prayer from a broken heart is real; prayer deeply felt.

It signifies that a person is submitted to G-d only!

 

G-d pours out His Revival Spirit upon His people. To bring us first to a deep sense of our own sins and impurities! Then He can bring us into a spirit of humility & brokenness!
(A 'broken' (by G-d!) person, does not direct refer to a "broken heart", created by devastating circumstances; in the form of depressed, desolated, or disappointed, disrupted love affairs; etc)  (Source: http://www.riverisflowing.com/ Raleigh; NC)
 

Humility!

 

The 'well-dressed Christian' still has more to put on in order to follow the L-rd's example! "Clothe yourself with...humility"! Humility is the next instruction from the Scripture! This humble mindset gives us a low opinion of ourselves, and only the Holy Spirit can provide us with such a rare garment. It is so easy to be proud because of what we feel are our superior talents, possessions or achievements.

 

Pride is so subtle. Even when people are dirt poor and have great limitations, they can still be very full of themselves. When we live with a proud attitude, we are susceptible constantly to the tension and disappointment that accompany it. Every little remark or negative comparison is like a painful pinprick to our inflated egos! When we put on pride, it takes a lot of energy to be always defending and reestablishing our "superior" position in the minds of everyone we meet.

 

Real humility begins when we think and feel about ourselves according to truth! Just the simple truth about G-d, ourselves and life is all we need. All we have to do is ponder the truth about our past failures and sins, our incredible limitations and the fragile nature of life itself! If we spend a little time alone with the Lord confessing these things, we will be well on our way toward having a new "spirit of humility" in our daily lives! The Church G-d blesses must always maintain a humble position before G-d and man. And the first secret to receiving guidance from God is a "humble spirit"! Humility is probably the 'rarest article' of spiritual clothing found among the people of G-d! Pride, however, is plentiful and grows at an amazing rate! The Apostle Peter wrote: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for G-d resisted the proud, and gives grace to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5)

2.         All submit to one another (1 Peter 5:5).

"Humility of mind" (Acts 20:19);  
"Humbleness of mind" (Col. 3:12);  
"Lowliness" (Ephesians 4:2);  
"Lowliness of mind" (Philippians 2:3).

(1 Peter 5:5-9)
 
1.   The glory of the creature (Revelation 4:11; Luke 17:10)  
2.   Redemption (Philippians. 2:5-8)  
3.   Riches and honor (Proverbs 15:33; 22:4; Matthew 5:3)  
4.   Fellowship (Isaiah 57:15; Isaiah 66:2)  
5.   Soul rest (Matthew 11:29)  
6.   Personal salvation (Matthew 18:3; Luke 18)  
7.   Greatness (Matthew 20:26-27; Luke 22:26)  
8.   Exaltation (Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11)  
9.   Revelation (Matthew 11:25; Luke 10:21)  
10. Unity (Ephesians 4:1-3; 5:21; 1 Peter 5:5)  
11. Victorious Christian living (Romans 12:10; 16; 1 Corinthians 13; Galatians 5:26; Phil. 2:1-4; Col. 3:5-14; 1 John 4:20; 1 Timothy 1:15; Titus 2:11-14)  

Humility is not poverty!

 

Every little remark or negative comparison with poverty cannot based from the scripture! You can be very prospered, but still humble! You can be very proud and still live in poverty! It has to do with your attitude toward G-d and one another! Living in great poverty, and saying I am living in great humility is not always correct! There are exceptions, but that is when G-d has a special purpose for a specific person for it!
