Two Stages of Revival
Stage One:
Personal Revival ... Psalm 138:7
a) Personal problems cause us to think we can do without it.
If we are stressed out, then we do need revival.
We need an anchor for our souls.
b) David expected the results of revival.
Relief from his enemies.
c) When God revives He:-
* Strengthens us to stand.
* Excites our hearts to love and
rejoice.
* Reminds us that our security is in
Him alone.
Stage Two:
Fellowship Revival ... Psalm 85:6
a) We will rejoice with others.
b) No worship? - then we need revival.
c) Sing? Do you really praise God when you sing hymns?
d) Look to others - do they need revival?
e) God wants us to reveal His glory.
f) No revival = doing the work of Satan.
g) Determination to bring revival - this takes real
Christianity.
