Introduction
Spiritual revival is a time of renewed spiritual growth and vitality. It is a time when individuals and communities become more aware of God's presence and power in their lives. Revival is not about starting over; it is about building on a foundation of faith and taking it to the next level.
Key Scriptures
James 1:22-25: "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."
1 Samuel 12:14: "If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well."
Steps to Experience Spiritual Revival
Submit to God's authority.
True submission to God is not about weakness or passivity; it is about strength, wisdom, and a deep trust in God's sovereignty.
We submit to God by knowing and obeying His Word, trusting His will for our lives, and acknowledging Him in all our ways.
Resist the devil.
The devil is a real and powerful enemy, but he is no match for God.
We resist the devil by submitting ourselves to God, putting on the whole armor of God, and standing firm in the faith.
