The Outpouring

Is Coming!

            Revived!
       

       Are you in a time when you feel you could use some reviving?  You need to be restored.

       Have you ever seen someone restore an old car?  You know how people can take an antique car and they restore it to its original beauty.  I’ve seen some of those, and John and I love to look at them on Web sites.  Their beauty is amazing.  The person who restores it makes it shine and sparkle, as if it just rolled off the showroom floor.

       Well, I’m not comparing us to an antique car, but that’s how we can feel at times.  We get somewhat rusty and we need some paint to make us shine again.  We need the Divine Mechanic to restore our engine and maybe even overhaul us.  You know, sometimes our tailgate is dragging a bit and needs to be fixed.

       So God sends His divine car crew to restore us.  They strip away the things the devil has tried to do to us and they bring us back to the way God intends for us to look.  Our conditions are changed.  We now look as if we just rolled off the showroom floor.  We are renewed.

       You can believe for God to begin that process in your life this day.  He can revive the conditions around you and restore you inside and out.  That’s when your spirit will be raised up and you’ll have an excitement in your face again.  What’s happening is that the Spirit of God is awakening your spirit.  The faith in your heart will be revived to believe, in spite of the appearance of the conditions.  He’s preparing you to receive.

       This is what a man experienced in the history of America.  He saw how people needed reviving and that God was ready to send revival.  They were going through a time when events were interfering with their ability to receive from God.

       Intellectual thinking was convincing some people that the Bible didn’t hold the answers of how to live your life.  Many were becoming distracted and preoccupied with the things of the world.  A deep commitment to Christ was being pushed to the side.  There just wasn’t the enthusiasm for the things of God.  In fact the thinking was against the ways of the Spirit in so many people.  Sound familiar today?

       So this man knew there had to be revival or the nation would be lost.  That’s when righteous people began to stand in faith and pray.  Some would spend hours praying to God to send revival into the people.  One of those was this man Jonathan Edwards.  He was a minister and spoke the truth of God in his messages.  That’s when the Holy Spirit began to stir them out of false thinking and away from the antichrist type of spirit that was trying to permeate the nation.  Revival started to come.

       People became committed to the spiritual standard of personal morality because of the deep spiritual conviction.  They were awakened.  So that time became known as The Great Awakening.  Those series of revivals started a movement back to God.  It was an outpouring of the Spirit and blessing of God.

       I believe today, at this moment, God wants to pour out on us that same awakening.  I find myself continually telling God I want to be a part of the great awakening.  I want to be in on the revival that comes to this nation and the world.  We must allow the Divine Mechanic to come in and fix the brokenness that people are experiencing.  He can bring back to wholeness what has been broken.  Restore to the original beauty.

       As we pray and cry out to Him to come into our lives in a greater way, that’s when we’re going to see tremendous miracles.  That’s what comes with an outpouring—miracles and transformation.  Sanity returns.

       Oh thank God, He can bring sanity back.  God can cause us to see things the way we should and push back wrong thinking from Satan.  People will desire the ways of God again.

       We must believe for the Spirit to revive us.  Revive miracles and blessings.  Renew our minds and bodies.  Take away sickness and disease.  Overcome need and lack.  Come into our churches and schools and workplaces and government in a greater way.

        I know that’s your prayer also.  God can use us today to see tomorrow be different.  I want to be there when the Spirit of God moves in a strong way.  People are revived and happy and they’re living in the blessings of God.  I want to get in on the revival.  Don’t you?  Believe with me now that God is going to do this and not just so we can be blessed but so the nation and the world can be turned around.

 
A Spiritual Powerline to say out loud:

“I RECEIVE THE REVIVAL!”

  Here is a powerful prayer
              to say out loud:               
 

            God, I pray that You give me the mind of Christ and the power of the Spirit.  Let Your anointing fall!  Fall on me and those around me to create Your miracles and blessings.  Revive this nation and this world.  And may we all experience a greater awakening of Your presence.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.  Hallelujah.
