Alive: Finding Freedom for GoodSample

# Revival for All ## Revival for You You can experience a personal outpouring revival at this moment, right where you are. Alone wherever you may be reading right now, the Holy Spirit of God can revive your heart for the kingdom of the living Christ as you have never before experienced. The greatest outpourings of divine demonstration, salvation and prayer repeatedly took place in history because of a single, surrendered soul who obeyed. Often that personal revival gave birth to a relentlessly unsatisfied passion for lost and dying souls and a weighty burden for God’s church. Becoming a revived revenant will do that. It turns you outward. You are no longer the object of your focus and energy, and you begin to sense the very heart of God pounding in your chest to reach those around you with the gospel. ## Revival for the World The lost—in all of their dysfunction, their pain and shame, their darkness and debauchery, their sin and iniquity, lost in a world of lies, hypocrisy, and evil—even now are searching for the living Christ. Their lives are full yet oh-so-empty. Full but not fulfilled. Successful but without joy. Popular without peace. Rich yet in poverty of soul. And I wonder about the words of Romans 10:14, “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” Where are those beautiful feet preaching the gospel of peace and bringing the good news of good things? There must be the “sent ones” who will then preach so the lost can hear the true gospel. Only after having heard can they believe upon Him, and therefore call upon Him and be saved from the wrath to come. If we really believed that, it would ignite and change our prayers. It would mold and change our will. It would change our hearts. God is not a man that He should lie. We have His sacred and solemn promise: > If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14. > Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10.
