THE
DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL
- by Mario Murillo.
{Vital insights into God's preparations for Revival - ed.}

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn
from
their wicked ways, then will l hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin and will heal their land".
- 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Another key similarity between revival
and nuclear
fission is a strange phenomenon that occurs right
before the atom splits. The nucleus actually depresses.
Scientists observe that the neutron bombardment
which seemed to be changing the nucleus, now shows
no sign of
reaching critical mass. Nothing seems to be
happening.
That is also what happens right before a manifestation
of God's glory. The revival core will be praying and
sensing a rising tide of power and expectancy. All of a
sudden, you hit a brick wall. The power is gone. God's
presence seems to have lifted. Your prayers feel trapped
in your mouth.
A deep despair settles in. You feel physically drained.
This is the dark night of the soul.
This is where
every revival pioneer has been before you and now it's
your turn. It will take everything in you
to keep
moving. The sobering fact is that many who have
reached the dark night of the soul have retreated.
Eternity will reveal a long, sad history of revival
near-misses.
