He knows the Bible and delivers his messages bluntly and directly from the Word of God. Personally Hill would rather 'hear the hard truth and live than to fall for a soft lie and die'. This belief compels Hill to preach the full gospel, including the reality of hell, to people. He preaches Christ crucified, total atonement and the Blood of Christ. As the revivalists of old, Hill's trumpet gives no uncertain sound.
Revivalists are also people of prayer.
Hill sets time aside to pray and sit in God's presence to learn his instructions and his ways for each day. Early in his Christian life Hill had been instructed in prayer by Leonard Ravenhill at the Twin Oaks Academy. Another reason that Hill is involved in this current revival in Brownsville could be that he 'caught the fire' from elsewhere and was the spark that ignited the flame. Throughout his Christian life Hill received impartations from leaders in different fields. While at Twin Oaks he was taught by David Wilkerson, Leonard Ravenhill and Nicky Cruz.
