We must be, in other words, savingly related to God, and then nothing will interrupt the floods of revival power! Can you imagine it!? Revival floods which are "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (Eph. We must be, as The Young Man said: " rightly related to God". 1:19) to rush upon and overflow from us! God's people are lead to this climactic experience by a present-continuous right relationship with God. 3:20) - and when we are rightly related with the Lord we become God's "Divine channel" - " channels only" - through which God's causes His "exceeding greatness" (Eph. 6:11, 13).my reader, by faith you must "put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ" who hath ascended Mount Zion in victory, and there - in Him - stand still and abide (presently and progressively)! Revival is the unfathomable expression of God's power - "the power that worketh in us" (Eph. 4:7)! Only one condition remains so that you will be unconquerable in your ability "to stand" (Eph. 10:19)! Oh saints - reckon it so! - you are already clad in a Divinely manufactured armor, you are, namely, "in the Lord", "in the power of His Might", because of where the grace of God has spiritually and lawfully positioned you! Therefore Satan, who fell from Heaven like lightning, will "flee from you" (Jas. 10:19)! "And nothing shall by any means hurt you", the Victor of humanity declares (Lk. Therefore in Him - we too! - "tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy" (Lk. We are able to overcome the world because, namely - Christ Jesus already overcame it! - and He is above it right now, "Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in the that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all" (Eph. 2:6)! Accessing the free-powers from this place of POSITIONAL GRACE, we are enabled to have power to overcome the world (1 John 5:4, John 16:33). 10:19), and again, staggeringly, upon the very throne of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. To abide in Christ is to, of necessity, abide in "the holiest" place of heaven (Heb. 12:22)! We are, in Christ, ascended up Mount Zion and standing in His holy place! In Christ we have been given, instantaneously, suddenly, and miraculously, " clean hands and a pure heart", and all that remains for us to do is - as we have received clean hands and a pure heart, even so, we should walk in them, or in other words, "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him" (Col. 15:1)? The answer: We, the regenerate, blood-bought, crucified, and resurrected multitude, by the perfection of Christ's sanctifying powers, have already ( spiritually and lawfully) "come unto Sion, and unto the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels" (Heb. 24:3)? This is a question of eternal consequence! And again, "who shall abide in Tabernacle? Who shall dwell in holy hill" (Ps. "Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or Who shall stand in His holy place" (Ps. In a spiritual and lawful way we are "dead, and life is hid with Christ in God" (Col. 2:6)! Shocking! We are not there in bodily presence, but through a saving union with Christ we are, spiritually and lawfully, with Him where He is, being enabled to relate to God by and through Christ. He hath brought us so nigh, it is not blasphemy to declare, God has "raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph. The Father God, at initial salvation, is He "who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son" (Col. Do you remember - Campbell, rich in Scottish ascent, speaks forth the anointed words. When God showed "The Young Man" the secret of revival's absence, revival broke out, and "The Young Man's" words seem to be the entire focus of what Duncan now seeks. God revealed it to his servant, a prophet, who Duncan does not give a name whereby we might know him, only that he is "The Young Man". Campbell, who appeared to be branded with no greater impression, remembered what was upon God's heart the moment that revival broke out. Then the Young Man fell on his knees among the straw, and suddenly, three of the elders fell into a trance! When this happened in the barn, a power was let loose which shook Lewis, Duncan exclaims! The result - “God seemed to be everywhere!” Some of you know these events well, but who knew them more than the God-chosen microphone of the revival, Duncan Campbell? You see, Campbell was branded with a holy poverty, a self-hatred, a confession of sin and a longing, for he knew that he, at that moment in time, was hindering God's gracious flood-tide of revival glory.
