Three main pillars seem to be prevalent when God starts dealing with His Church in where she is. Ruin is when the people are backed into a corner with no hope, but to cry out to God, like the children of Israel at the Red Sea. Repentance is when God, in an act of mercy, shows their need and the depraved condition they are in, and Refreshing is what He sends to revive His Church. The key to this is the matter of Ruin. Is revival a nice-to-have, or do we really see where we are in God's sight?
