“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12.

​​Revival is that sovereign work of God-
– in which He visits His own people,
– restoring and releasing them into the fullness of His blessing.

Over the years I’ve often gotten emails asking-
“Do you think revival will ever come to our country?,
When do you think it will come?”

A key aspect of world revival is revival within ourselves.
Revival must begin within each of us.

It’s not just a one time event but an ongoing process of desiring to be closer to Him.

Once, a lady asked Billy Sunday “Why do you keep having revival meetings?”

And he quickly retorted, “Why do you always take a bath?”

Revival is an ongoing transformation of our hearts-
to be constantly moved by the Spirit of God.
We need to be daily breaking up our fallow ground-
– those places in our hearts which we’ve allowed to grow hard.

How?

We have to first ask the Lord to reveal those hard places-
– pray that He would forgive us and
– ask Him to heal all our rough edges that we might be soft before Him and sensitive to His leading.

Only then will we be changed and be in a place– where we can contribute to revival around us.
