Memory Verse: Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Who needs revival?
A Christian who remembers a more spiritual time, needs revival. If there was ever a time when the Bible seemed more fresh, the walk with Christ more wonderful, prayer more powerful, or Christian fellowship sweeter, the need is revival.
A church that has known better days needs revival. If there ever was a time when the bonds of love were stronger, praise for God more fervent, heartfelt singing more evident, preaching more powerful, compassion for souls more generally true among the congregation, or zeal for service more abounding, the need is revival.
A Christian who has become callous, or cold, or critical, needs revival.
A Christian who has become weak, or wanton, or worldly, needs revival.
In deciding whether or not he needed revival, one young man took a sheet of paper and wrote these words across the top: "I am not a good Christian because . . . " He then asked the Lord to enable Him to fill in whatever was true. When he finished, he had filled four sheets of paper with his short comings. He decided he needed revival.
After speaking on soulwinning and other needs in the Christian life, two people came to me and said, "That is the way we used to live -- witnessing and serving the Lord constantly." Now they had cooled off. They needed revival.
