Why We Need Revival

Scripture Readings: Psalms 85  

David cries out in Psalm 85:6, "Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in You?" and as Christians we must echo that petition.  How do we know if we need a revival?  Historically, revivals are preceded by spiritual decline, such as divisiveness, anger, continuous crises, addictions and service without passion.  Simply put, the need for revival is a result of sin in our lives.

Revival is the restoration of the spiritual life of God's people and a return to the abundant life God intended for His followers.  When God revives us, we can expect real change!

If you have experienced a crisis in your life lately, examine whether God has a purpose behind it.  Perhaps God has taken steps to get your attention, and the next step is yours.    

First, you must identify the change that needs to take place in your own life for true revival.  I encourage you to spend time asking God to let you see yourself from His perspective. Let Him tell you what needs to change!
