REVIVAL

By Christ through faith, God literally “vived” me, meaning He enlivened me. I received the very life of Christ in my new heart! At that time, I sensed I was forgiven of all my sins, but I didn’t really know I had been “vived.” After trying hard to live the Christian life, God began showing me that Christ’s Life in and through me is the Christian life!

So, “revival” means “revelation life” - God’s re-velation of vival (life) in me! I have been “vived” and I don’t have to be “vived” again. I just need to see by God’s grace that I have already been truly “vived.” Oh, how God wants to reveal His Son in us!

The word revival is not in the New Testament, and is only once in the Old Testament. That’s fascinating to me. My conviction is that God wants our focus to be on the divine Life and Name of Jesus alone, and not on our preconceptions of “revival.”

Are you still waiting on revival?
