FOREWORD
By Dr. Michael L. Brown
Thirty years ago, when Leonard Ravenhill penned the foreword to my first revival-themed book, The End of the American Gospel Enterprise, he began with these words: There is not much that has been written in recent years that has stirred me. This book stirred me. I read it with great profit. It is vibrant and has an anointing.
That’s exactly how I felt as I read this book. In fact, it not only stirred me. It convicted me to press into God afresh for a deeper personal encounter with the Lord. Oh, that all of us might burn passionately for Him!
I have known Keith Collins since 1997, first as a student in the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry, where he joined us with years of ministry experience already in his background, then as a member of our faculty and leadership team. Since then, he has served as the pastor of our congregation and the director of our ministry school, both appropriately named FIRE.
During these years of serving together, I have watched him mentor a generation of students and witnessed his pastoral heart in action in the church, so you can be sure that he is motivated by love as he speaks and writes. But it is that same love that burns within him as a prophetic voice and revivalist; a love that will not allow him to be silent when so many of God’s people are asleep in the light. No! He must raise his voice like a trumpet and sound the alarm. As he says so clearly in this book (and as I have said in the past) we need a rude awakening.
In the pages that follow, Keith will help you to identify areas of compromise and sleepiness in your own life—not to condemn you but to encourage and empower you to turn to the only one who can bring lasting change in your life. And he will set before you a glorious vision of just how the Lord Jesus can use you to make a radical impact on this generation. Isn’t it time?
May you be among a multitude of Samuels who awaken today with a deep sense of prophetic destiny. This book will help show you the way.
Dr. Michael L. Brown, host of the Line of Fire radio broadcast and president of FIRE School of Ministry Online
FOREWORD
By Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
I had a strange experience recently at a large conference our ministry hosted in Europe. When I arrived to preach, my driver took me to a back stadium entrance reserved for the speakers. Security was tight. A special badge was required to enter through that door, but my team assumed I wouldn’t need one. After all, we were hosting the event. I was on the platform each night and easily seen on the large screens by all in attendance. Your face is your badge,
they told me. But the guard stationed at the door had a different opinion. He worked for the venue. He was not one of our team members. He didn’t know me, and he was adamant—I could not enter without a badge. It was a comical sight. Inside the stadium, the people were waiting for me to preach. But I was stuck outside, unable to get into my own event!
In Revelation 3:20, Jesus said, Behold, I stand at the door and knock
(ESV). As an evangelist, I’ve occasionally referenced these words in my evangelistic appeals. As powerful as this invitation is to the unsaved, it’s important to remember that in the original context, Jesus was not speaking to the lost. He was speaking to His own people. Somehow, even in the earliest days—while the ink of the New Testament was still wet—Jesus was already outside the door of His own church knocking. It’s a scene that would be comical if it weren’t so sad. I believe this is the tragic picture Jesus wanted us to see. He is the host—the church is His—yet He is on the outside looking in. His words to them were unequivocal and severe. "I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For
