Steps to Personal Revival (Book 1)- Book Info

by Helmut Haubeil

Book 1 of 2 in the “Steps to Personal Revival” series — also available in Spanish. 160 pages, softcover. And be sure to ask us for Book 2, Abide in Jesus!

Also free downloads available online at the author’s website in multiple formats (Epub, Ebook, Audiobook) and in various European/Asian/African languages!

Topics explored in this book include:

  • Evaluating your spiritual condition: saved or lost? spiritual or carnal?
  • Daily surrender to Christ, daily asking to receive the Holy Ghost.
  • Praying with Bible promises.

In all my years of schooling, preaching and teaching, nobody ever told me or taught me that the Bible and Ellen White teach us to DAILY petition God for a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. How could I have gone this far through pastoring and preaching and never learned so compelling a truth!

But that’s what Helmut Haubeil’s book Steps to Personal Revival has taught me…. For years I have preached on receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit—series of sermons on this vital theme. But now I’ve discovered a way to meet with Jesus every morning and do just as He did every morning with the Father—ask for a fresh baptism of His Spirit.

Humbly I testify that God has raised the bar on my prayer life. I used to spend much time in the Word and a comparatively short time in actual prayer. Now my practice is reversed—I spend much time on my knees in my early morning prayer closet in communion with God and then turn to His Word for His communication with me….

Why am I telling you this? I have nothing to gain from this testimony—but I am deeply convicted that you do. Jesus is coming soon. We still have a world, an entire generation, to reach with the everlasting gospel. We simply cannot accomplish that mission on our own. Our only hope is to learn what Jesus knew, to practice what Paul and the first disciples lived. We must have the DAILY baptism of the Holy Spirit upon our lives and ministry. And the only way we will have it is if we humbly daily ask for it.

I don’t know who you are, but I am praying for you as I write this. The promised Gift is yours and mine for the asking. After all didn’t Jesus promise us: “If you then who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who [Greek—daily, continually] ask Him” (Luke 11:13)? Won’t you join me in that daily asking.
