"What Is A Revival?  Part II"
Dr. Rick Flanders

READ Matt. 5:33-37

Yes, “glory may dwell in our land” again (verse 9). Families will be strong, morals will be high, politics will be principled, neighbors will be kind, churches will be spiritual, the Bible will be believed, souls will be saved, and Christians will be victorious wherever God sends a revival!

Psalm 85 says that. . .

1. Revivals are needed again and again because God’s people tend to lose their love for the Lord and their commitment to obey Him (vs. 1-8).

2. Revivals come in answer to earnest prayer (v. 6). “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?”

3. Revivals result in the salvation of the lost (v. 9), balance in the church (v. 10), agreement between heaven and earth (v. 11), fruitfulness among God’s people (v. 12), and Christians following the steps of Jesus (v. 13).

The first step toward revival in your life is your learning how to be saved.
1. Admit that you are a sinner who needs to be saved — “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent and turn to Christ for your salvation — “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
3. Call upon Jesus Christ and ask Him to save you — “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

If you have already been saved, turn yourself over to the Lord and begin praying for a revival in your life, your church, and your community.
