How does revival happen

I have been reading about the Korean Revival. It has been a blessing to read about it. I realize that God's promises in His word are true.
James 4:6-10 ESV
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
Also
Hebrews 8:10-12 ESV
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more."

God I would love to see an outpouring of your Spirit. That you would awaken your church to a renewed passion for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Son of God. That you would embolden your church to proclaim the excellencies of Your Son and His work on the cross for the atonement of the sin of His bride.

When Darkness Falls

It's been a hard two days but the wonderful thing about it is that it has given me a lot of time to pray and to worship the Lord. It has been hard to deal with manual labor and I have binge stress-eating for a little while it's been about a month and a half now for the stress eating.
But I was reminded that this light and momentary affliction is nothing to compare to the glory to be revealed at the coming of Jesus Christ. I hope that everything is worked out....
