HOLINESS - THE KEY TO REVIVAL

If you are hungry and desperate for more of God and His reality in your life and long to see and experience real Revival – this book is for you.

The subject – the challenge of Holiness and how it leads to Revival, was born twenty years ago out of divine dissatisfaction. My husband David and I had been Christians for several years, attended an excellent Bible-based charismatic church and received all round, sound teaching from many sources. Yet, we saw unreality, hypocrisy and super-spirituality in the church in general and we wanted reality and what Jesus said should happen in His church and for our lives.

David asked God to send him old Revival books and books of great men of God so that he could see if there was something common between them, and, if that was true, what was it! So started our ‘search’.

This desire for the truth, and the increasing revelation over this missing ‘key’, never went away, and to this day, it is as strong as we believe it could ever be. God has led, confirmed and encouraged us over and over again and is still doing so.

Scriptural Holiness, the ‘missing link’ is a result of experiencing and walking in what John Wesley termed Entire Sanctification – the main name I shall use in this study. Since the doctrine of Entire Sanctification has been almost forgotten, hidden and not taught or preached it could appear to be something new. We were careful, therefore, with whom we shared our discoveries, and even today, God restrains us or prompts us. We now feel compelled to ‘go public’ and proclaim this jewel. God clearly has told me to ‘share this with the King’s household’ (2 Kings 7:9) – with you my fellow believer.

John Wesley said, “Only share this with people who are hungry.” We are excited, as we have seen the increase of hunger in God’s people and many well-known international ministers of God expressing this deep hunger. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled” said Jesus. I pray that this study book will open the way to how to be filled!

Like Joshua and Caleb we press on in spite of unbelief and doubt in others. True holiness has never been a popular subject – the cost is very high.

Satan is a liar and a robber. For half a century and even longer, he has bred and fostered many misinterpretations, misconceptions, and half-truths to God’s people. So when we share this, we always ask people to:

• Pray and be like the Bereans and search the Scriptures – “…whether those things were so” Acts 17:11
• Please be patient and see the whole picture before you accept or reject this,
• Please be open-minded since you may hear things new to your perhaps long held theology, and
• Please read this book at least twice!

This book is an exposure of some lies of Satan that millions of sincere, lovely Christians have believed – due to wrong teaching.

I am not a clever scholar but the contents are based on God’s Word and proven testimonies and my personal observations and leading by the Lord. The content could well be controversial in places but I trust the Lord to be the judge. My intent is not to be arrogant or critical.

From the moment I was saved thirty one years ago, I asked the Holy Spirit to lead me into all truth, and to never let me go astray or follow a wrong doctrine. I believe He has led David and I along this path and we pray that it will lead to the ancient path – the Highway of Holiness – and that you too will walk with us along that road. (Isaiah 35:8 and Jeremiah 6:16)

My thanks to the few of our ‘holiness group’, who, over the last six years, have witnessed to this hidden truth, encouraged and supported us. Special thanks also to my ‘computer literate’ brothers - Robert Allison, Ron Hemes and especially Nigel Smeeth - without whom you’d never be reading this, and to David, my husband, who is one with me in all I share here. Thanks also to John Campbell who has helped in electronic distribution/marketing, and to Rev Paul Gardiner who directed us to The Church of God International Pentecostal who believe in the Wesleyan doctrine of Entire Sanctification.

May this book bring hope, renewed vision to the people of God and Revival to today’s church.

God bless you and may the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, lead us ALL into ALL truth - for His glory!

Endorsement by Dr Gause

Patricia Knowles presents an impassioned cry for a return to the biblical experience of sanctification and to the living of a life of separation and purity: in other words, a life of holiness.  Her zeal for this call to holiness shows in every chapter of her book, HOLINESS, THE KEY TO REVIVAL.  I commend her for her zeal and love for this neglected teaching.

 This book is devotional in nature, but it is more than that.  It is a valuable resource that presents Scripture, doctrine and the testimony of many believers who have followed this way of life in the Holy Spirit and can testify to the effectiveness of the message.

 The passion of the book is to demonstrate that the experience of personal sanctification is provided in Christ's death and resurrection, commanded and promised in Scripture and is a very real experience in the record of Scriptures and believers in Jesus Christ in all ages of the Christian church.

 This book is a welcome contribution to holiness Pentecostal literature.  It is highly readable.  It lends itself easily to teaching.  It provides graphics that are adaptable to overhead projection and power point presentation.

 I am pleased to commend this book to the attention and use by laity, pastors, teachers, evangelists and other ministers of the Word.

On Chapter 24 –Scriptures on Sanctification and Holiness

“This is an excellent listing of texts on the subject of your book; these texts could be used by a pastor as a study guide for mid-week prayer services or Sunday evening services in series.” 

“You have an excellent presentation here. I think that it is on the ‘cutting edge’ of a revival of Holiness among Pentecostals and also in the Evangelical movement. I am of the opinion that this is going to be the ‘hot topic’ for preaching, conferences and publications for time to come”

 Reader’s Comment

“It (the book) is so clear, it is so true, right, noble, totally crucially relevant, and other words I cannot find! Wonderful, inspiring, and, potentially life changing! I am not making this up – you must write the second book!”
