Why Revival?

Introduction:  Admit it. You need to be revived! Why?
 

First, in order to stay in real, close, intimate fellowship with Jesus, we must be cleaned up and filled up. Are you a candidate for a fresh filling?

Secondly, because of this old world’s stress and pressure, it demands we stay restful and fruitful.

Thirdly, with so much hatefulness, bitterness, and ugliness, which we cannot control, we need to stay humble and useful.

Fourthly, living in a world of negativity, dog-eat-dog mentality, spiritual apostasy, along with blatant immorality are all signs of the time to get ready for our Lord’s return.

Fifthly, sometimes our vision becomes blurry, our priorities get mixed up, and our purpose goes lacking. That is why we need Jesus, by His Spirit, to keep us focused in the right direction.

Sixthly, in order for us to fulfill our calling as godly dads, moms, grandparents, husbands, wives, and CHRISTians, we must be empowered daily by the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, we cease to be able to meet the needs of those around us. Are you feeling overwhelmed because of the different responsibilities that face us every day?

Seventhly, if we are going to be “good salt” and a “bright light” in this dark world, it is going to take resurrection power! Besides that, if we are going to be prepared to stand before Jesus Christ at the Judgment Seat not feeling ashamed (1 John 2:28), then we must yield to His control.

Next, with our Lord’s last words before ascending into heaven giving us His Great Commission to preach and teach the gospel to all the world, the only way to follow that imperative mood verb—“Go…” (meaning a command, not a suggestion) is to examine our motives, evaluate our lives, and enlarge our goals by being renewed, refreshed, and revived.
 

Conclusion: With all being said about “Why Revival,” what is left?

Will you acknowledge that you need to be REVIVED? Fall in love with Jesus once again! Let’s return to our first love!
 
Love y’all,
