If a revival is to come the great deep will have to be broken up – Andrew Murray

If a revival is to come, greater, deeper, broader than any that has yet been, one great part of its power will be in the conviction it will bring of the sin and shame of all the carnal ease, and comfort, and self-indulgence in which we have been living, while the dying, perishing world which has been given into our charge was waiting for us, and the infinite love that had entrusted itself to us, was mourning that we were so slow to go and tell of it.

The conviction of sin must be greater, deeper, broader, than we have known it. Judgment will have to begin at the house of God. The great deep will have to be broken up. The formality and worldliness, the selfishness and self-confidence and self-complacency of much of our religion will have to be revealed in the light of the actual life, and worship, and devotion, and self-sacrifice in the power of the Spirit to which God has called us.
