Recently I picked up Pastor Crawford Loritts’ list of “10 Indications That We Need Revival” from Twitter (yes, I’m loving “tweeting”!). Crawford and Karen have been dear friends for years, and I so resonate with their burden for revival.
As you read through this list, do you see any indications of a need for revival in your own life (as I did)? If so, agree with God about whatever He has revealed to you. Humble yourself by confessing your sin, crying out to Him for mercy, and receiving His forgiveness and grace.
As you do, you can be assured that He will fulfill His promise: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. . . . . Humble [yourself] before the Lord, and he will exalt you” (James 4:8, 10).
Ten Indications That We Need Revival
1) When sin is the pattern of our lives . . .
2) When we accommodate broken relationships . . .
3) When we no longer receive the Word of God with joy and expectancy . . .
4) When prayer and worship become rituals and chores . . .
5) When we don’t grieve over those who don’t know Christ . . .
6) When we love the world more than we love Jesus . . .
7) When we no longer fear God . . .
8) When we no longer view God as our only hope . . .
9) When we have to be “sold” or entertained for worship to be meaningful . . .
10) When “professionalism” has replaced reliance on the Holy Spirit . . .
