"Revival" by Karen Pulley
"Will You not revive us again...?” Psalm 85:6a
“I just love the Lord Jesus with all my heart,” said a young girl with such heartfelt emotion that her words sparked revival and triggered the Spirit to be poured out upon all who were gathered. All were deluged to tears. It was the beginning of a visible move of the Spirit that would in turn touch thousands of souls for Christ.
There are many such accounts of ordinary men and women with such soul wrenching burdens for the lost that they have confessed things such as:
“I shall die unless God sends a revival.”
How Does Revival Start?
Jessie Penn-Lewis asked, “Why does revival not come, Lord?” The Lord replied, “I am ready but my children are not. Before it comes they must preach the word of the cross - the message of Calvary.”
Revival starts with believers who are dissatisfied with their own Christian experience and distressed with the condition of their churches. As Charles Finney put it, “Christians are more to blame for not being revived than sinners are for not being converted!”
God said, “If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Revival starts with you and me getting right with God! Revival starts with God moving in His people!
Personal revival is something only God can do in your life. Perhaps you feel the need for that today? Perhaps, like this young girl whose heartfelt words triggered such an outpouring of God’s Spirit, your own heartfelt words could also spark a mighty move of God that would touch thousands of souls for Christ in our day.
To give you a glimpse of what happens when the Spirit of God moves through His people in such a powerful way that lives are changed, saints are revived, and sinners are redeemed, a special booklet has been prepared. Please click here to view.
We Would See Jesus,
