00:00:00.423 --> 00:00:05.795
There is no person that god cannot save!
00:00:05.795 --> 00:00:10.467
There is no promise that god will not keep!
00:00:11.367 --> 00:00:16.473
There is nothing that our god cannot do!

00:00:32.889 --> 00:00:37.694
Take your bibles, turn once again today to 2 chronicles
00:00:38.828 --> 00:00:43.066
Chapter 7 and verse 14. we begin a message on revival,
00:00:43.066 --> 00:00:48.138
Which is the sovereign work of god in the hearts and lives of
00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:51.040
His people. it is a renewed new obedience to knowing and doing
00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:55.044
The will of god in our lives and obedience to him. revival
00:00:55.044 --> 00:00:59.182
Is what god does in the hearts of his people.
00:00:59.182 --> 00:01:01.918
And so we began this message on revival from 2 chronicles 7:14.
00:01:01.918 --> 00:01:08.525
And we just got started.
00:01:09.025 --> 00:01:11.094
What we did this week has been a constant in the history of
00:01:11.094 --> 00:01:15.665
America from the pilgrims who the first thing they did when
00:01:15.665 --> 00:01:19.269
They set foot at plymouth rock was to kneel and pray as they
00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:23.573
Were advancing not only the cause of freedom, but the cause
00:01:23.573 --> 00:01:28.645
Of faith in their own lives and families and a great personal
00:01:28.645 --> 00:01:31.748
Sacrifice.
00:01:31.748 --> 00:01:32.949
The pilgrims came to this nation and began to establish
00:01:32.949 --> 00:01:36.719
The future of this country. and then of course, not only the
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.523
Pilgrims, but the patriarchs and the matriarchs of our
00:01:40.523 --> 00:01:43.960
Nation, the men and women who prayed and who served and who
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:49.666
Fought and burst a nation. our nation was conceived by men and
00:01:49.666 --> 00:01:56.306
Women who believed in the power of god, who believed in the
00:01:56.306 --> 00:02:00.710
Providences of god and in prayer. for example, the father
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:06.549
Of our country, general george washington, first president in
00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:10.019
1789 said this, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge
00:02:10.019 --> 00:02:15.725
The providence of almighty god, to obey his will, to be
00:02:15.725 --> 00:02:20.930
Grateful for his benefits and humbly to implore his
00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:26.402
Protection and favor.
00:02:26.402 --> 00:02:30.173
And the founding fathers and mothers of this nation and
00:02:30.173 --> 00:02:33.009
Throughout its history have called upon the name of god in
00:02:33.009 --> 00:02:36.946
Times of crisis and war, as well as in peace down through
00:02:36.946 --> 00:02:43.553
The 250 years of our nation's history. as we celebrated this
00:02:43.553 --> 00:02:48.524
Year, we have relied upon god and trusted in him as a people.
00:02:48.524 --> 00:02:54.631
But unfortunately the secularism, which is eroding
00:02:54.631 --> 00:02:57.400
The culture at this time has encroached to the darkness has
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.104
Moved and spread. and that is why we're in the spiritual
00:03:01.104 --> 00:03:04.707
Condition we are as a nation. and we need spiritual
00:03:04.707 --> 00:03:08.077
Awakening. the church needs to be revived. god's people
00:03:08.077 --> 00:03:11.381
Revived and the nation awakened. so we pray for a
00:03:11.381 --> 00:03:17.220
Brand new spiritual movement.
00:03:17.220 --> 00:03:18.621
Proverbs 14:34 says that “righteousness exalts a nation,
00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:23.226
But sin is a reproach to any people.” so a nation rises on
00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:28.798
Righteousness and it falls by and because of sin and we need
00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:34.470
Revival. so 2 chronicles 7:14 is the theme
00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:39.876
Of this message on revival.
00:03:40.476 --> 00:03:42.745
“if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves
00:03:42.745 --> 00:03:46.983
And pray and seek my face, turn from their wicked ways, then i
00:03:46.983 --> 00:03:51.154
Will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal
00:03:51.154 --> 00:03:56.659
Their land.”
00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:57.860
Our nation is sick and we need god's healing hand. if my
00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:03.266
People, and we noted the last time we were together that
00:04:03.266 --> 00:04:06.936
Revival begins with his people. god calls his people out and
00:04:06.936 --> 00:04:11.074
Says, if my people, so it starts with us. it starts with
00:04:11.074 --> 00:04:15.878
The church. it starts with you and me, our families, as we
00:04:15.878 --> 00:04:19.515
Seek the god of heaven.
00:04:19.515 --> 00:04:22.051
And we're to humble ourselves in a world that is enamored
00:04:22.051 --> 00:04:25.688
With selfies and selfishness to humble ourselves means that we
00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:29.959
Surrender our lives and we get on our faces before god and
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.130
Surrender our wills to do his will. you know, there is a
00:04:34.130 --> 00:04:39.202
Reason that we are encouraged to posture in prayer on our
00:04:39.202 --> 00:04:43.539
Knees or even on our faces. now you can stand to pray. you can
00:04:43.539 --> 00:04:47.043
Sit to pray. there's no required position for prayer,
00:04:47.043 --> 00:04:50.279
But when we get on our knees, as i often do at the beginning
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.684
Of the day is to get on your knees is an act of humility and
00:04:54.684 --> 00:04:58.788
Surrender to god. “humble yourselves under the mighty
00:04:58.788 --> 00:05:02.458
Hand of god and he will exalt you in due season.”
00:05:02.458 --> 00:05:05.361
So as we humble ourselves, “god resists the proud, but he gives
00:05:05.361 --> 00:05:09.265
Grace to the humble.” as we humble ourselves before the
00:05:09.265 --> 00:05:13.469
Lord and we own our own pride, which is a hard sin to admit.
00:05:13.469 --> 00:05:19.609
But as we humble ourselves and own our pride and confess our
00:05:19.609 --> 00:05:24.480
Sins and say, as the old hymn says, it's not my brother, not
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.519
My sister, but it's me, o lord, standing in the need of prayer.
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:34.257
That's what we do. you know, others and others, there are
00:05:34.257 --> 00:05:38.294
Sins i can see, but praise the lord, there's none of me has no
00:05:38.294 --> 00:05:41.230
Place in the prayer life of the believer.
00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:44.634
We place ourself in a position when we pray, when we humble
00:05:44.634 --> 00:05:48.204
Ourselves before god, when the church humbles itself and
00:05:48.204 --> 00:05:51.641
Recognize the sovereignty and the power of god. when we do
00:05:51.641 --> 00:05:54.811
This, we create an opportunity for god to work in our lives.
00:05:54.811 --> 00:06:01.384
This verse is a direct word from god. god speaks. it's
00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:05.922
Given in response to the dedication of the temple in
00:06:05.922 --> 00:06:08.458
Solomon's day, when the fire fell and the glory of god came
00:06:08.458 --> 00:06:12.028
Upon the people of god in that era. and certainly this was a
00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:15.231
Promise and a call to prayer to israel, but we are also called
00:06:15.231 --> 00:06:19.602
By his name and we pray in the name of the lord jesus. and
00:06:19.602 --> 00:06:22.805
Christians certainly have the privilege of praying as we're
00:06:22.805 --> 00:06:26.943
Taught to pray here in 2 chronicles 7:14.
00:06:26.943 --> 00:06:29.879
And we said, you know, because this is a direct word of god,
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.716
It reminds us that revival begins with god's word. every
00:06:33.716 --> 00:06:38.254
Great revival, spiritual awakening in history has
00:06:38.254 --> 00:06:41.824
Included a revival of the bible, a rediscovery of god's
00:06:41.824 --> 00:06:46.062
Word, whether it is nehemiah's day, ezra's day, or our day.
00:06:46.062 --> 00:06:50.366
And because god's word is often neglected, christians drift and
00:06:50.366 --> 00:06:54.403
Churches drift. because the word of god may be denied or
00:06:54.403 --> 00:06:57.940
Defamed or diluted in some way, the church dies. without the
00:06:57.940 --> 00:07:02.478
Power and the presence of god in his word,
00:07:02.478 --> 00:07:05.248
The church cannot live.
00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:08.050
And so, we need a revival of the bible. and i'm praying that
00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:12.822
God is going to raise up a new generation of young preachers
00:07:12.822 --> 00:07:15.958
And teachers and missionaries that will proclaim the word of
00:07:15.958 --> 00:07:19.862
God to a new generation. it happens to us personally.
00:07:19.862 --> 00:07:24.534
Personal revival comes when we get on our knees with an open
00:07:24.534 --> 00:07:27.503
Bible or we open our bibles and sit in a chair and welcome his
00:07:27.503 --> 00:07:31.107
Presence, however you choose to do it, but when you open god's
00:07:31.107 --> 00:07:34.944
Word and allow god's word to speak to you, you know it's
00:07:34.944 --> 00:07:39.448
True. when you get away from your bible, you most likely are
00:07:39.448 --> 00:07:44.320
Getting away from god. you're no longer close to god. these
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:48.758
Two, god has joined and no man may part, dust on the bible and
00:07:48.758 --> 00:07:53.896
Drought in your heart.
00:07:53.896 --> 00:07:55.531
So, when we are revived, one of the first things that happens
00:07:55.531 --> 00:07:58.935
To us is we have now this insatiable appetite for god's
00:07:58.935 --> 00:08:04.373
Word. amen?
00:08:04.373 --> 00:08:06.642
But then, what happens when we are revived? when revival comes
00:08:06.642 --> 00:08:10.346
And we're saying, lord, do it again. lord, revive us again.
00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:14.650
This kind of revival requires repentance. requires
00:08:14.650 --> 00:08:23.192
Repentance. what is 2 chronicles 7:14, right in the
00:08:23.192 --> 00:08:26.762
Middle of it? it says, we humble ourselves, pray, seek
00:08:26.762 --> 00:08:29.799
God's face, turn, turn from their wicked ways. this is
00:08:29.799 --> 00:08:40.076
Repentance, which means to turn. it means to change. and
00:08:40.076 --> 00:08:44.847
This word repentance is often missing in the christian's
00:08:44.847 --> 00:08:50.620
Vocabulary today. repentance and the message of repentance
00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:56.325
Is so often missing in our pulpits today, because
00:08:56.325 --> 00:09:00.830
Preachers are not preaching faith and repentance towards
00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:04.800
God, but jesus did.
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:07.169
In fact, in the scriptures, we're told that jesus came in
00:09:07.169 --> 00:09:12.274
Matthew chapter 4, preaching “repent for the kingdom of
00:09:12.274 --> 00:09:16.145
Heaven is at hand.” these are his first words. he also said
00:09:16.145 --> 00:09:20.249
In luke chapter 13, if you don't repent, repent, because
00:09:20.249 --> 00:09:25.488
“unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” it is
00:09:25.488 --> 00:09:31.927
Impossible. are you listening? it is impossible for you to
00:09:31.927 --> 00:09:36.499
Become a christian without sincere repentance and faith
00:09:36.499 --> 00:09:40.670
Towards god through jesus christ. without repentance,
00:09:40.670 --> 00:09:44.840
There is no salvation. and without repentance in the
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:50.112
Church, there is no sanctification. that is, there
00:09:50.112 --> 00:09:53.516
Is no spiritual power or growth.
00:09:53.516 --> 00:09:56.986
One thing is always true when revival ignites, and that is
00:09:56.986 --> 00:10:03.726
There is conviction of sin, confession of sin, and changed
00:10:03.726 --> 00:10:11.000
Lives. let me say it again. every time there is revival,
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.205
Whether it's in me personally, in the church corporately,
00:10:16.205 --> 00:10:19.208
Every time there is conviction of sin, “the holy spirit
00:10:19.208 --> 00:10:24.046
Convicts of sin and righteousness and judgment.”
00:10:24.046 --> 00:10:27.750
There is conviction. and with that conviction, there is
00:10:27.750 --> 00:10:30.753
Confession of sin, whether it is personal and private or
00:10:30.753 --> 00:10:34.290
Public confession of sin is always present in revival.

We're living at a time when many people are asking very
00:10:54.643 --> 00:10:57.480
Hard questions. questions about faith, about truth, about jesus
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.717
Himself. questions like, is he lord or is he a legend?

00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:31.574
Here's repentance. repentance is not regrets. you're sorry
00:12:31.574 --> 00:12:36.846
You did something. it's so much more than regret. repentance is
00:12:36.846 --> 00:12:41.684
Not even remorse, remorse, tears. judas wept bitterly when
00:12:41.684 --> 00:12:49.191
He betrayed the lord, but he went out and hanged himself. he
00:12:49.191 --> 00:12:52.895
Was sorry. he was remorseful. in contrast to that, there's
00:12:52.895 --> 00:12:56.765
Simon peter who denied the lord three times, and he wept
00:12:56.765 --> 00:13:00.736
Profusely because of his sin, but he repented, and he was
00:13:00.736 --> 00:13:04.573
Restored by the lord. and there's a big difference in

What happened to judas, who died in his sin and went to
00:13:07.276 --> 00:13:10.379
Hell. and simon peter, who repented of his sin, received
00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:15.451
The lord's grace and forgiveness and became the
00:13:15.451 --> 00:13:18.587
Great simon peter, the preacher and apostle. so it's more than
00:13:18.587 --> 00:13:23.092
Remorse. there is remorse. there's conviction, but “godly
00:13:23.092 --> 00:13:27.329
Sorrow produces repentance.” it is godly sorrow that produces
00:13:27.329 --> 00:13:31.934
Repentance.
00:13:31.934 --> 00:13:33.168
I'll tell you something else repentance is not. repentance
00:13:33.168 --> 00:13:35.738
Is not resolve. just a promise to do better. how many times
00:13:35.738 --> 00:13:41.977
Have we sinned and we say, oh, i'll do better next time, but
00:13:41.977 --> 00:13:45.347
We've not truly repented of it.
00:13:45.347 --> 00:13:47.883
And then repentance is not reform. repentance is not
00:13:47.883 --> 00:13:51.921
Trying to do better. it's not behavior modification. it's not
00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:55.925
Some psychological trick. no, repentance is towards god, not
00:13:55.925 --> 00:14:00.229
Towards ourselves. you know, repentance is not regret. it's
00:14:00.229 --> 00:14:04.266
Not remorse. it's not resolve. it's not reform. you know what
00:14:04.266 --> 00:14:07.970
It is? it is redirection. it means to turn from sin by
00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:15.244
Trusting in christ.
00:14:15.244 --> 00:14:16.512
You say, is it faith or it is repentance? the answer is yes.
00:14:16.512 --> 00:14:22.418
Because faith and repentance is like two sides of the same
00:14:22.418 --> 00:14:27.523
Coin. you can't repent without believing in christ. you can't
00:14:27.523 --> 00:14:31.393
Believe in christ without repenting of your sin. so we
00:14:31.393 --> 00:14:34.830
Both repent and receive christ. it's a change in direction.
00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:39.902
You're going in one direction and you turn around and in the
00:14:39.902 --> 00:14:44.740
Power of christ, you go in a brand new direction. that's
00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:48.477
Repentance. it's more than being sorry for your sin or it
00:14:48.477 --> 00:14:51.780
Is saying goodbye to your sin in the power of god.
00:14:51.780 --> 00:14:54.583
It doesn't mean perfection, but it does mean direction, a
00:14:54.583 --> 00:14:58.253
Redirection of your life. your life gets turned around. your
00:14:58.253 --> 00:15:01.857
Life gets changed when you repent of your sin. it means to
00:15:01.857 --> 00:15:07.429
Change your mind, literally. metanoia, to change the mind
00:15:07.429 --> 00:15:13.335
And to change the heart.
00:15:13.335 --> 00:15:16.739
But what else is this revival about? lord, revive us again.
00:15:16.739 --> 00:15:23.712
Well, it means that revival is experienced when we seek god's
00:15:23.712 --> 00:15:31.987
Face. now get ready because we're going to stay here a
00:15:31.987 --> 00:15:34.523
While. the scripture says, turn to me and seek my face.
00:15:34.523 --> 00:15:48.637
Now we learned in numbers chapter 6, the blessing, the
00:15:48.637 --> 00:15:54.176
Aaronic prayer that the priests would give and the people would
00:15:54.176 --> 00:15:57.413
Say, amen, at the end of it. “may the lord bless you and
00:15:57.413 --> 00:16:01.750
Keep you. make his face shine upon you.” we know that god's
00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:07.322
Face is upon us when we turn to him. so what is it to say the
00:16:07.322 --> 00:16:14.963
Face of god is toward us? are we turned towards god's face?
00:16:14.963 --> 00:16:18.901
What does that mean?
00:16:18.901 --> 00:16:20.135
Oscar wilde once wrote, a man's face is his autobiography. you
00:16:20.135 --> 00:16:30.446
Can look at a man, a woman's face, and there's a lot there
00:16:30.446 --> 00:16:34.183
In the lines, in the eyes, in the lips. he was saying that a
00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:40.956
Man's face reflects what is often in the heart. and so when
00:16:40.956 --> 00:16:49.465
We seek god's face, it speaks of his character. it speaks of
00:16:49.465 --> 00:16:55.938
His personality because god has a face.
00:16:55.938 --> 00:17:00.676
Yes, the bible says that “god is spirit and those who worship
00:17:00.676 --> 00:17:04.746
Him, worship him in spirit and truth.” but our god has a face
00:17:04.746 --> 00:17:08.617
And that face was revealed perfectly in jesus christ.
00:17:08.617 --> 00:17:13.388
In reality, the face of god, when you talk about turning to
00:17:13.388 --> 00:17:17.059
The face of god, it represents the manifest presence of god.
00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:26.268
His face, his face, he shows up. it's the desire for his
00:17:26.268 --> 00:17:32.908
Presence when we seek his face. it is good to seek the hand of
00:17:32.908 --> 00:17:37.212
God, promised to bless us and to provide for us. we can ask,
00:17:37.212 --> 00:17:43.652
And keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking,
00:17:43.652 --> 00:17:46.922
Jesus said. yes, ask for his hand of blessing. ask him to
00:17:46.922 --> 00:17:53.595
Hold you with his hands. but above all, seek god himself.
00:17:53.595 --> 00:18:00.669
Seek his face because there is joy in his face. god shows his
00:18:00.669 --> 00:18:07.109
Face by grace because he wants us to know his presence. he
00:18:07.109 --> 00:18:12.447
Wants us to know him personally.
00:18:12.447 --> 00:18:16.051
If you have been away from someone that you love for a
00:18:16.051 --> 00:18:18.987
Long time, when you get back together, how good is it to see
00:18:18.987 --> 00:18:26.562
Their face again? when we get to heaven and we see the faces,
00:18:26.562 --> 00:18:35.604
These are not disembodied spirits floating around in the
00:18:35.604 --> 00:18:38.807
Air somewhere, but alive, more alive than even in this place
00:18:38.807 --> 00:18:45.280
On earth. but we will see the faces of our loved one. most of
00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:48.417
All, we will see the face of god, our savior. but until
00:18:48.417 --> 00:18:53.021
Then, by faith, we see and seek his face.
00:18:53.021 --> 00:18:58.894
The psalmist said, “blessed are they, are the people who know
00:18:58.894 --> 00:19:03.131
The festal shout, who walk, o lord, in the light of your
00:19:03.131 --> 00:19:07.869
Face.” what a great scripture. who walk in the light of your
00:19:07.869 --> 00:19:13.475
Faith, who exalt in your name, which means to explode with
00:19:13.475 --> 00:19:16.712
Praise. that word exalt means to just blow up with praise.
00:19:16.712 --> 00:19:21.883
Who do it all day long and in your righteousness, they are
00:19:21.883 --> 00:19:26.421
Exalted.
00:19:26.421 --> 00:19:27.889
The psalmist said, psalm 27 in verse 8, “you have said, seek
00:19:27.889 --> 00:19:31.927
My face. and my heart says to you, your face, lord, do i
00:19:31.927 --> 00:19:38.467
Seek.” so this is revival in your life, in the church. when
00:19:38.467 --> 00:19:47.743
We go beyond what we need and what we want from the hand of
00:19:47.743 --> 00:19:51.113
God and seek him and him only and to desire him above all
00:19:51.113 --> 00:19:56.618
Else, it's god's face.
00:19:56.618 --> 00:19:59.221
This is the ultimate facebook, facetime. you know, that's what
00:19:59.221 --> 00:20:06.728
You need more than anything in your life is facetime with god.
00:20:06.728 --> 00:20:12.868
Amen. and yet how many professing christians go a
00:20:12.868 --> 00:20:19.241
Lifetime and have very little facetime with god? no wonder we
00:20:19.241 --> 00:20:31.486
Need revival. no wonder lives and homes and marriages are
00:20:31.486 --> 00:20:35.957
Falling apart.
00:20:35.957 --> 00:20:38.760
The other evening, deb and i got on and we facetimed with
00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:42.364
One of our grandchildren. it wasn't like totally being
00:20:42.364 --> 00:20:45.634
There, but it was good to see the faces of our little ones.
00:20:45.634 --> 00:20:51.940
And they seemed glad to see our faces. you know, if our
00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:56.211
Children and grandchildren only wanted what we could give them
00:20:56.211 --> 00:21:00.182
And cared little about our face or our presence, how sad that
00:21:00.182 --> 00:21:03.185
Would be. so i'm calling you to the ultimate eternal facetime,
00:21:03.185 --> 00:21:13.662
That you spend time every day in your life seeking to know
00:21:13.662 --> 00:21:18.333
His presence, to experience his miraculous manifold presence.
00:21:18.333 --> 00:21:26.475
Prayer is the difference of
00:21:26.475 --> 00:21:27.709
What i can do and what god can do. when i pray, i get what god
00:21:27.709 --> 00:21:36.084
Can do. zechariah chapter 4 verse 6, “not by might, not by
00:21:36.084 --> 00:21:40.222
Power, but by my spirit says the lord.” one day we will see
00:21:40.222 --> 00:21:46.962
Him face to face. 1 corinthians 13:12 tells us this, “that now
00:21:46.962 --> 00:21:52.234
We see through a mirror darkly, but then we will know even as
00:21:52.234 --> 00:21:55.771
We are known.” and i'm looking forward to that day, this
00:21:55.771 --> 00:22:00.409
Prayer time, this face time with god brings renewal and
00:22:00.409 --> 00:22:04.980
Restoration in our lives.
00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:08.316
And when this happens, when we humble ourselves before god,
00:22:08.316 --> 00:22:14.423
When we seek his face in prayer and with passion, when we turn
00:22:14.423 --> 00:22:23.365
From our wicked ways, repenting of our sin, confessing, and our
00:22:23.365 --> 00:22:28.637
Lives changed by the cross, because there's no changed life
00:22:28.637 --> 00:22:32.908
Apart from the cross and the resurrection of jesus. and our
00:22:32.908 --> 00:22:37.946
Message of course, is the message that jesus saves and
00:22:37.946 --> 00:22:43.418
Only jesus is the savior of the world. “he's not a way to god.
00:22:43.418 --> 00:22:50.225
He is the way and the truth and the life.” and false teachers
00:22:50.225 --> 00:22:54.129
May claim that other religions are a pathway or process to
00:22:54.129 --> 00:22:59.334
Getting to god, but no religion can save, not even the
00:22:59.334 --> 00:23:03.872
Christian religion because christianity is not a religion.
00:23:03.872 --> 00:23:08.410
It is christ and christ himself. christianity is not a
00:23:08.410 --> 00:23:12.481
Church. it's not a creed. it's not a code. it's not a cause.
00:23:12.481 --> 00:23:15.150
It is christ and christ alone.
00:23:15.150 --> 00:23:17.652
And so revival happens when jesus christ, the lord and
00:23:17.652 --> 00:23:25.594
Savior of the world is experienced in our lives. and
00:23:25.594 --> 00:23:29.164
So before you ask god to change the world as we should, or to
00:23:29.164 --> 00:23:34.669
Change our nation, maybe you should ask, as i've been asking
00:23:34.669 --> 00:23:38.507
These days, lord, what needs to change in me? what do i need to
00:23:38.507 --> 00:23:46.515
Confess? what do i need to surrender to you? what do i
00:23:46.515 --> 00:23:52.020
Need to offer to you? because when i am revived, my witness
00:23:52.020 --> 00:24:01.429
Flows, the giving, the generosity flows. my life is
00:24:01.429 --> 00:24:08.036
Filled with joy and peace, joy and peace. the spirit of god
00:24:08.036 --> 00:24:14.175
Activates me in my personal witness.
00:24:14.175 --> 00:24:16.711
And here's what happens. the scripture says here, when we
00:24:16.711 --> 00:24:21.783
Humble ourselves, when we pray, when we seek his face, when we
00:24:21.783 --> 00:24:25.287
Are turning from our sin, then god, one hears. amazing that
00:24:25.287 --> 00:24:36.131
God hears the slightest cry of one of his children.
00:24:36.131 --> 00:24:45.774
So he hears. he listens. when we pray, when we pray like
00:24:45.774 --> 00:24:53.281
This, and then he heals. god hears and god heals the broken
00:24:53.281 --> 00:25:03.258
Hearted. he heals broken homes, broken hearts, broken lives,
00:25:03.258 --> 00:25:07.228
Broken people, and broken nations. and we need the
00:25:07.228 --> 00:25:13.535
Healing touch of the great physician. and what happens
00:25:13.535 --> 00:25:18.673
When revival comes, it's not something that we work up or
00:25:18.673 --> 00:25:23.878
Even pray down. it is a divine intervention. but i'll tell you
00:25:23.878 --> 00:25:27.415
This, when god's people pray like this, as on the day of
00:25:27.415 --> 00:25:30.685
Pentecost and obedience to what christ told the disciples and
00:25:30.685 --> 00:25:34.022
Others to do, when they prayed, the spirit came down. and when
00:25:34.022 --> 00:25:38.059
The spirit came down, they went out and changed the world.
00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:47.736
Lord, revive us again. god promises to heal broken
00:25:47.736 --> 00:25:55.410
Churches, broken communities, broken countries and nations.
00:25:55.410 --> 00:25:58.513
Oh lord, will you not revive us again? god is willing and god
00:25:58.513 --> 00:26:02.150
Is waiting. in fact, in revelation 3:20, jesus is at
00:26:02.150 --> 00:26:07.622
One of those churches, standing on the outside at laodicea. and
00:26:07.622 --> 00:26:12.027
He says, if you hear my voice and open the door, “i stand at
00:26:12.027 --> 00:26:16.765
The door and knock. and if you hear my voice and open the
00:26:16.765 --> 00:26:19.734
Door, i will come in.”
00:26:19.734 --> 00:26:23.138
I used to think that it took a lot of people to have a
00:26:23.138 --> 00:26:27.242
Revival. the more you could get together, the bigger chance you
00:26:27.242 --> 00:26:31.446
Could have a revival. but according to jesus, he said, if
00:26:31.446 --> 00:26:36.484
Any one, just one, if any man, any woman would open the door,
00:26:36.484 --> 00:26:46.428
I will come in and we will fellowship together. and that's
00:26:46.428 --> 00:26:54.235
What can happen in your life. it can happen in a church if
00:26:54.235 --> 00:26:58.573
Just one, god often begins with just one.
00:26:58.573 --> 00:27:04.846
Someone said, history belongs to the intercessors. history
00:27:04.846 --> 00:27:10.852
Belongs to those who pray. let's be a part of history.
00:27:10.852 --> 00:27:17.759
Let's see god make history with us in jesus' name.
