Hey, church family, if you got your Bibles, I hope you do. I want you to grab them. Go to Acts

Chapter 2. We are basically a week out from saturated. I know you've been praying and fasting and getting ready,

and I just wanted to focus this week and really next week on how we are

to get ready for this revival that we call saturated. Now, part of the reason we don't call it a

revival all the time is because it seems to me maybe a little presumptuous to tell God when he is

going to revive us. However, the Bible says that we have not because we ask not.

And so I have thought for a long time, the problem with adults is they quit going to camp.

And so basically, that is what saturated is.

It's like camp for adults, where we are saturated in the Word of God,

in the presence of God, in the gospel of Jesus Christ on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

because I just don't think an hour and a half on a Sunday is enough for it to stick.

And so as I've studied historically, revivals, everything from Azusa Street to the Brownsville

revival, to the Great Awakening, to the Second Great Awakening.

There are some ingredients that always preceded the believers before God unleashed a revival on his people.

And the three of the ingredients we're going to talk about today and tomorrow and the next day.

One, and by far the most important is the Holy Spirit. The second was this sense of repentance that

people would come before the Lord and confess their sins and change their lives because of it. And then the third was a real pursuit of holiness.

So that's where we are going this week.

So we're going to start with the most important thing.

And that is the coming of the Holy Spirit, Acts chapter 2.

If you were in church this past weekend, that's what we preached about.

And so here's Acts chapter 2.
