REVIVAL BEGINS WITH ME!
by
Deb A. Burton
Revival is just a word...I've prayed, and others have prayed.... "Send a revival Lord, please!!!"
But not a lot has happened, in terms of what revival means..
.
What does it mean?
There are three aspects:
1] Souls to be saved...
2] Sinners to change their hearts...
3] Saints to emerge... for the complacent, defeated, self focused to begin to turn their hearts and pray!
GOD IS ALWAYS WILLING TO SEND A REVIVAL!
Revival depends on us...
It depends on us praying the right prayer, with the right attitude, for the right length of time...
What is the right prayer?
I finally asked God! And I felt something, a deep yearning, crying inside to come out... And at a church, the word came to me - "Life!" Simple? Enormous!!!
So don't just pray "send a revival Lord!", unless you are praying and desiring for these things to take place in your life!
PRAY for SOULS!
PRAY for SINNERS!
PRAY for SAINTS!
Then you will have the revival your heart longs for...
And don't forget to say -"Start it in me!"

AAAAAAmen, Sister Deb! Christ in the hearts of others begins with me! Just be careful what you ask for, because God is listening!
On second thought, don't be careful at all, just ask! If He brings you to it, God will bring you through it!
Well said, Deb. Good stuff!!!
I agree wholeheartedly with Gyrene here!! Amen!!
I like the Prayer of Jabez here - yes, Lord - please expand our territory, because our territory is really YOURS!!!
