Friday, March 16, 2012 God's Time God's time for revival is the very darkest hour, when everything seems hopeless. It is always the Lord's way to go to the very worst cases to manifest His glory.                                                                                                    - Andrew Gih 9:37 pm cdt Friday, November 11, 2011 Hope in Dark Days Study the history of revival. God has always sent revival in the darkest days. Oh, for a mighty, sweeping revival today! - Adrian Rogers 3:05 pm cst Wednesday, November 9, 2011 How Revival Begins Revivals begin with God's own people; the Holy Spirit touches their heart anew, and gives them new fervor and compassion, and zeal, new light and life, and when He has thus come to you, He next goes forth to the valley of dry bones…Oh, what responsibility this lays on the Church of God! If you grieve Him away from yourselves, or hinder His visit, then the poor perishing world suffers sorely! - Andrew Bonar 10:18 am cst

"Revival" is God's choice, under His power alone. But the opportunity and possibility of revival is given to God's people, if they fulfill God's conditions.

2 Chronicles 7:14
New International Version (NIV)

...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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV)

God's people are called to do four things:

1) Humble themselves before God
2) Pray to God
3) Seek God's face
4) Turn from wickedness which is against God's way

These four conditions are meet with three promises:

1) We will hear from heaven
2) God will forgive our sin
3) God will heal our land (individuals, families, community, society, culture, economy, nation)

If we choose to embrace these conditions of God, we can hasten opening the door to experiencing God's promises for ourselves and others. We can not only experience more personal and congregational renewal, we can see the power of God come to unbelievers and change our community and nation....heal our land.
