Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Renewal, Revival, whatever you want to call it; we need it. At least I know that I do.
My idea of Revival is God coming into our presence, renewing our passion for Him, His placing in us a desire for all that is holy, righteous, and just, putting in our hearts a love for all those things, and hatred for all that is vile, evil and wicked. That those things might be a stench in our nostrils, just as it is in His.
Also, Revival being a renewed passion for seeing the lost come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. The cross of Jesus being lifted high. The death, burial and resurrection being proclaimed in power and for His glory. Having a new heart for the worship of the Lord, and daily fellowship with Him, walking with Him. Loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength even if we don’t see any move from Him.
Lord God, send down YOUR fire. The fire of cleansing and renewing. The fire of passion for all that is good, godly, righteous, and just. The fire that ignites in godly anger at all that is against YOU.
Lord, when the world raises up its dragon head against YOU through us, then, Lord give us strength to face the dragon, and know this one is a defeated foe. YOU defeated him on the cross. Give us wisdom also, that we may know when we face his temptations to flee to the cross.
Thank YOU Lord for the victory you have won. The victory of the cross, and the proof of the resurrection. Because YOU love us we love YOU. Because YOU live, we live. Thank YOU Lord. Amen.
