Revival: The Heart of the Matter!

I don’t know about you, but at our house, my husband and I can feel that God is on the move! There is a revival happening within our hearts. We have faced some recent challenges and have seen firsthand God performing miraculously and abundantly in us, on us, and all around us! We have experienced healing and financial blessings. We have had a sense of peace surpassing all understanding. We are in amazement at just how awesome our God is! When you see the awesomeness of our Father, it lights a fire in you that cannot be extinguished! Just like the song says, “He takes what the enemy meant for evil and He turns it for good!” (101) See A Victory | Live | Elevation Worship - YouTube

When we read the Bible, we see that it is full of passages that speak of the power of revival in the heart. From Psalm 51:10 which says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me” to 1 John 3:20 which states, “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” God desires to bring revival within each of our hearts and to restore us to a right relationship with Him.

The heart, that is where revival has to start. This is the foundation for revival and it is rooted in a personal relationship with God. Jesus is the Light of the World and He alone can illuminate our lives and drive away the darkness. In John 8:12 it says “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Jesus is the light of the world, and when we invite Him in, we can experience a transformation that is nothing short of miraculous.

God is calling us to be a part of His revival and to become vessels of transformation. Every person has the power to create real, lasting change in the world, and it starts with a personal transformation. As we allow God to work in our lives, He will use us to bring transformation to our families, our cities, and even our nations. His power is strong, and His love is deep. We can experience His presence in our hearts and see revival take place.

God is always there, waiting to transform our hearts and bring revival. All we have to do is open our hearts and allow His light to shine in. As 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Let us all open our hearts to God and allow His revival to take root within us. Let us experience the power of His love and let us be the light that drives away the darkness. ©Rita Larson3/24/2023
