Revival


 

I was going through my phone looking for a number when my eyes focused on an old friend’s name.  It had been years since I had spoken to him, so I shot him a short text reminding him of wonderful memories of long-ago times.  A warm response came back quickly, and we both felt better and reconnected.  The same is true of the dear Lord.  Revival is not about knowing more Bible facts.  It isn’t about knowing more Bible doctrine.  It isn’t understanding prophecy.  It’s loving God once again.  The Church at Ephesus was a great church, but the Lord said, in Revelation 2:4, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.”  Jesus went on to say that the solution was simple: remember where you have fallen from, repent, and get back to where you were with Jesus Christ.  Hey, reconnect with the dear Lord, and right now would be a good time.  He has been patiently waiting.
