Revival

Why does the Church need revival? Should we need revival?

Well I guess that the Church needs revival because it has falling into the trap of just playing the game and those who are willing and wanting with a passion to know more of God do not always see it because few others are willing to reassess themselves and their priorities for God to pour out His Spirit of Revival upon a individual, church or nation.
Many people let 'religion' get in the way of God's longing to pour out this power, this marvelous, miraculous change! The 'we must do this, we must do that.' etc... and others just haven't had the right teaching or leadership to directed people and the church entrusted to them by God onto the path of Revival and renewal.
If the Church does not want to die then at this moment in time we need revival. If we are not right with God it will not happen though.

And should the Church need revival... Well I believe the answer is no it should not. But because we are imperfect humans we will never always be alive. The question the Church should be asking itself is 'Can these dry bones live again?'
The Church has become like dry bones and that is why it needs revival. That's why it needs the Holy Spirit to breath life into the bones in the desert. And when the dry bones of the Church begin to live and dance in the Holy Spirit's, we will begin to see others being brought back to life and choosing to live the life Jesus has given and called us all to!

Yes the Church needs revival and no we should not need it if we are walking the right path in the right direction in unity with each other and God!


Do you believe that 'These dry bones can live?'

Ezekiel 37

God does - and so do I. But we need to be willing to allow the Holy Spirit to do it, and some people are not, because they try to do it all on their own. Without Him we can do nothing.
