Consequences of an absence of revival on 20 April 2008

To be revived means to be awaken again.

Reviving the deepest part of our beings – our hearts.

A revival will always attract huge crowds. A revival will attract masses to come to Jesus.

Why is a real revival necessary?

We were all born in sin. We tend to take good things for granted.

Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, everyone, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

An apostacy is a revival.

Habbakukk 3: 2
O Lord, I have heard your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.

Only a revival can save us from the point of no return. When a person repents, God will become real.

We are a royal priesthood. We enter into a role of royal priesthood.

A heart of a person can shift. Love is based on commitment. When you are committed , that is real love.

Hebrews 6: 4-6
For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.” And again in this place “ They shall not enter my rest.” Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience.
