1. My People
Revival must begin with God's people.
2. Humble Themselves
Emphasizing the need for humility, he quotes C.S. Lewis: "A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."
3. Pray
4. Seek My Face

Repentance is more than confession; it involves turning from sin.
The Results:
1) Hear from Heaven
2) Forgive Their Sins
3) Heal Their Land
