More Than Some Talk and Prayer

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

—Joshua 1:7

 

It will take more than talk and prayer to bring revival. There must be a return to the Lord in practice before our prayers will be heard in heaven. We dare not continue to trouble God’s way if we want Him to bless ours….

If we are foolish enough to do it, we may spend the new year vainly begging God to send revival, while we blindly overlook His requirements and continue to break His laws. Or we can begin now to obey and learn the blessedness of obedience. The Word of God is before us. We have only to read and do what is written there and revival is assured. It will come as naturally as the harvest comes after the plowing and the planting.

Yes, this could be the year the revival comes. It’s strictly up to us.   SIZ010-011

Lord, I pray that this would be the year when Your people will get serious about heart-felt obedience to Your commands. Then send the great revival among us! Amen.

  1. Seeking revival should be like seeking a promotion. We work diligently and impress our employer, the promotion is earned no other way. In other words revival will only come by saints seeking God diligently in their own walk with Him.
