Revival Requires Repentance

Being lukewarm is a serious condition. It means running out of oil when one needs it most. It means missing the bridegroom. It means being locked out of the wedding feast because one’s lamp has gone out. (Matthew 25:1-13, Revelation 3:14-22)

The Spirit’s presence within us leads to a life that bears fruit. Those who submit to the Spirit will bear the fruit of the Spirit throughout the remainder of their lives or they will need to repent and receive once again the joy of revival that they could have had all along.

Galatians 5:22-23 (AMP)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

  3. I knew I recognized the lesson! We’d studied Revelation 3 and it was a real mind-bender! It IS a mind-bender because logic and “evidence” cannot make God more understandable. God gives us the ability to look at things scientifically, but we only use our physical senses to experience them and come to the wrong conclusions. We never tap into the Holy Spirit for “the rest of the story” so though the facts are made evident, the truth still escapes us. ________________________________
