“Revive us Lord”
Let us lay aside every pre-conceived idea and notion about one another and even about how our day or week or even our month has been going. Each of us need a personal revival.
You see this is God’s business!
I would like to declare that if we allow the Lord to have His way in our lives then we can receive the Lord’s favor and blessing in our lives. The Lord wants to cause a great revival in us as individuals and as a body of believers. The definition of revival is stated as the act or an instance of reviving. The condition of being revived. A restoration to use, acceptance, activity, or vigor after a period of obscurity or quiescence. A time of reawakened interest in religion. A meeting or series of meetings for the purpose of reawakening religious faith, often characterized by impassioned preaching and public testimony.
Are we hungry for Jesus? Do we want more of him? Are we satisfied spiritually? Being revived and desiring revival allows the Lord to do a work in our lives. You see we must become servants of the Word of the Lord. We must realize that when the great revivalist is among us he (Jesus) is there to help us. Remember that Jesus is here to help us. Jesus is our comforter!
The Greek word for comforter in the New Testament is Paraclete. The word paraclete as found in 1 John 2 verse 1 and is used to describe the intercessory role of Jesus Christ. In John 14 verse 16 Jesus says another paraclete will come to help his disciples.
In Jesus Christ there is freedom and liberty. In order to get the most out of a heaven ordained revival we must let go of things that are holding us back. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation. Well today let go of those things that are holding you back. We may be dealing with troubled relationships or unsaved family. We may even be burdened down with financial issues. I would like to remind you that He can and would like to help us with our problems. Jesus knows exactly what we are going thru. He will never leave is nor forsake us. He is not thru with us yet.
We have the momentum of the Holy Ghost behind us. The creative force of God is with us.
