True Revival

The danger of being a Christian for any length of time, is that church life can become routine with very little expectation of anything new.

It's like taking a teaspoon, dipping it into the ocean and saying, "this is God". Then we pour it over our head and say "this is the Christian experience".
God calls us to dive in the ocean. Prayer is boring when it is merely an attempt to maintain our present level of communion with God.

Let me encourage you to read Psalm 85, it is a prayer for revival.

It's a prayer about asking God to help get you out of your spiritual decline
It is a prayer to get you out of apathy, vs. 6 says "will you not revive us again" and after we are revived, the promise in vs. 12 is to "get ready for a new harvest".

Psalm 85 should make our mouth thirsty for Him, because if it did, Jesus said "come and drink".

Yours for Revival

Pastor Francis
