SPIRITUAL REVIVAL
Christians will sometimes lose the realization of Jesus; the connection between themselves and Christ will be at times severed, as to their own conscious enjoyment of it; but they will always groan and cry when they lose that presence.
What! is Christ thy Brother, and does he live in thine house, and yet thou hast not spoken to him for a month? I fear there is little love between thee and thy Brother, if thou hast had no conversation with him for so long. What! is Christ the Husband of his Church, and has she had no fellowship with him for all this time? Brethren, let me not condemn you, let me not even judge you, but let your own conscience speak. Mine shall, and so shall yours.
Have we not too much forgotten Christ? Have wo not lived too much without him? Have we not been contented with the world, instead of desiring Christ? Have all of us been like that little ewe lamb that did drink out of its master’s cup, and food from his table, and lie in his bosom? Have we not rather been content to stray upon the mountains, feeding anywhere but at home?
I fear that many of the troubles of our heart spring from want of communion with Jesus. Not many of us are the kind of men who, living with Jesus, learn his secrets. Oh, no! we live too much without the light of his countenance, and are too contented when ho is gone from us. Let us, then, each of us, — for I am sure we have each of us need, in some measure, — put up the prayer, “O Lord, revive thy work.” Ah! methinks I hear one professor saying, “Sir, I need no revival in my heart; I am everything I wish to be.”
Down on your knees, my brethren, down on your knees, and plead for him! He is the man who most needs to be prayed for. He says that he needs no revival in his soul; but he needs a revival of humility, at any rate.
If he supposes that he is all that he ought to be, and if he knows that he is all he wishes to be, he has very mean notions of what a Christian is, or of what a Christian should be, and very untrue ideas concerning himself. Those are in the most hopeful condition who, while they know they need reviving, yet groan under their present sad state, and pray to the Lord to revive them.
Spiritual Revival?
Definition: Revival is a spiritual awakening where believers return to God with renewed passion, repentance, and obedience.
Core Elements:-
- Repentance (turning from sin)
- Renewal (restoration of joy and strength)
- Presence of God (fresh encounter with His Spirit)
- Mission (renewed zeal for holiness and witness)
Final Note:- what is meaning of True Revival ?
Revival is not about big events or emotional feelings for sometime or it’s not about music and it’s not about talents
But Where People’s get repented in their heart at that places the heaven will rejoice
(“ True repentance brings true Revival in the places “) Matthew 24:14 (Gospel - Truth- Revival )
God is watching and waiting for the arrival and you have to prepare the way for him as John the Baptist did now it’s you’re time
