And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. (Isaiah 6:3-5)
When God makes his presence known, and the Believer experiences the Holiness of God, His presence will put them on the ground in repentance. Revivals are such, when the Presence of God is seen and known, and men and women become conscious of their wickedness and impurity and come seeking God's cleansing. This includes unbelievers and believers alike. Like Isaiah above, We must become undone with ourselves for us to serve almighty God. It is Only then that God anoints a vessel for His workmanship.
Amongst those in the Holiness movements this is known as the "second work of Grace". It is the throwing away of Original sin in our lives, and The subsequent "entire sanctification" and infilling of the Holy Ghost.
"The Largest Holiness Denomination, the Nazarene Church explains that:
We believe that entire sanctification is that act of God, subsequent to regeneration, by which believers are made free from original sin, or depravity, and brought into a state of entire devotement to God, and the holy obedience of love made perfect. It is wrought by the baptism with or infilling of the Holy Spirit, and comprehends in one experience the cleansing of the heart from sin and the abiding, indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, empowering the believer for life and service. Entire sanctification is provided by the blood of Jesus, is wrought instantaneously by grace through faith, preceded by entire consecration; and to this work and state of grace the Holy Spirit bears witness."

Have you been in the presence of Almighty God, and experienced your unworthiness? Many in this generation have not as there have been no large revivals since the Hebrides revival in the middle of the last century. Our desire to submit to the sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost will lead to that Revival.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
