“Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly” (Psa 85:4-8).
“And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made” (Isa 57:14-16).
What is revival? What does it mean, and when and how does it come about? You may not think it an encouraging subject, and I admit it can be a heartbreaking one as we look out at a world that seems devoid of spiritual things. But remember, with God all things are possible. He always is readily available for those seeking forgiveness and this definitely applies to a nation gone astray. A deep seated heart yearning for Revival. Ernest fervent Prayer. Your soul is anguished, tears flow, and you have a real burden for the lost. The bickering, prejudices, ill will, envy, jealousy, bitterness, criticism among Christians must end. Revival must begin in the hearts of Christians before evangelism can begin. Rediscover that God is holy, righteous, real, absolute and a personal God of love and mercy. This reality will be transferred to the world and revival can come.“O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy” (Hab 3:2). Let revival begin with us.
“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).
