Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0062A recorded on June 3, 1979 teaching from James 4:8-10 – Healing the Soul.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the necessity of spiritual restoration through the act of intentionally approaching the Divine. He contends that while physical and mental health are vital, modern life desperately requires a healing of the soul to resolve deep-seated emotional pain and spiritual barrenness. Stevens outlines a dual process where the sinner experiences regeneration—a new relationship with God—while the believer seeks rededication and fellowship through a commitment to holiness. Pastor Stevens emphasizes that individuals must take responsibility for their own humility and repentance, asserting that when one sincerely draws near to God, they unlock a transforming and reviving power that leads to divine promotion. Ultimately, the discourse serves as an urgent call for listeners to abandon double-mindedness and pursue a profound, life-altering communion with the Creator.
