Revival Starts With You

Revival Starts with You




"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit." Acts 2:17

Today is the Lord's Day. My guess is that most of you will be gathering together to worship Him at your local church. So often we hear people pray that God will send forth revival. But what would we do if He did?

I love this old hymn that I learned as a kid at Second Mennonite Church in Philadelphia:

Lord, as of old at Pentecost you did Your power display,
With cleansing, purifying flame, Descend on us today!

Refrain
Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power!
Your floodgates of blessing on us throw open wide!
Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power,
That sinners be converted and Your name be glorified.



For mighty works for You, prepare and strengthen every heart.
Come, take possession of Your own, and nevermore depart.


All self consume, all sin destroy! With earnest zeal endue
Each waiting heart to work for You. O Lord, our faith renew!


Speak, Lord; before Your throne we wait.
Your promise we believe,
And will not let You go until the blessing we receive!!!



Do we believe that God CAN answer the cry of our hearts for revival in our day? Do we have the expectancy each Lord's day that HE could break into our services in HIS way and in HIS power to move in our hearts?

Well guess what -- remember this -- revival may start with YOUR heart and mine! Are you and I ready for HIM to revive OUR HEARTS? -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
