12:22)! We are, in Christ, ascended up Mount Zion and standing in His holy place! In Christ we have been given, instantaneously, suddenly, and miraculously, " clean hands and a pure heart", and all that remains for us to do is - as we have received clean hands and a pure heart, even so, we should walk in them, or in other words, "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him" (Col. 15:1)? The answer: We, the regenerate, blood-bought, crucified, and resurrected multitude, by the perfection of Christ's sanctifying powers, have already ( spiritually and lawfully) "come unto Sion, and unto the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels" (Heb. 24:3)? This is a question of eternal consequence! And again, "who shall abide in Tabernacle? Who shall dwell in holy hill" (Ps. "Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or Who shall stand in His holy place" (Ps. In a spiritual and lawful way we are "dead, and life is hid with Christ in God" (Col. 2:6)! Shocking! We are not there in bodily presence, but through a saving union with Christ we are, spiritually and lawfully, with Him where He is, being enabled to relate to God by and through Christ. He hath brought us so nigh, it is not blasphemy to declare, God has "raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" (Eph. The Father God, at initial salvation, is He "who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son" (Col. Do you remember - Campbell, rich in Scottish ascent, speaks forth the anointed words. When God showed "The Young Man" the secret of revival's absence, revival broke out, and "The Young Man's" words seem to be the entire focus of what Duncan now seeks. God revealed it to his servant, a prophet, who Duncan does not give a name whereby we might know him, only that he is "The Young Man". Campbell, who appeared to be branded with no greater impression, remembered what was upon God's heart the moment that revival broke out. Then the Young Man fell on his knees among the straw, and suddenly, three of the elders fell into a trance! When this happened in the barn, a power was let loose which shook Lewis, Duncan exclaims! The result - “God seemed to be everywhere!” Some of you know these events well, but who knew them more than the God-chosen microphone of the revival, Duncan Campbell? You see, Campbell was branded with a holy poverty, a self-hatred, a confession of sin and a longing, for he knew that he, at that moment in time, was hindering God's gracious flood-tide of revival glory.
