The Five “R’s” of Revival
I have been contemplating recently about the dynamics of revival. He has been speaking to me a lot recently about the “R’s” of revival, before it breaks loose. I will be writing one of these notes for the next couple days regarding what He has been showing me.
Repentance–> Restoration –> Reconciliation –> Redemption –> Revolution = Revival.
Now, of course, the Wind of the Spirit blows upon the earth and He can do what He wants when He wants. However, I do believe that there is something to the body when they acquire these.
The first “step”, if you will, to revival is repentance. Repentance is an act in which you humble yourself before God and admit you cannot live for Him as a fleshly human without His Spirit to assist you – when you repent you admit your failures and relay on Him to help you.
Repentance is the first step to revival. Revival ultimately means a healing of your land and turning back to His face and His ways. The Lord said in 2 Chron. 7:14 – “If MY people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and (repent) turn from their wicked ways, I’ll heal their land.”
He WANTS to heal our land through our acts of obedience and repentance. He wants to heal our land thru a cleansing of His blood and a great move of His Spirit.
You may ask but why should we repent? The Word of God says, “For ALL have fallen short of the glory of God.”
We repent before His Spirit shall fill the land. Why? Because we are a sinful people in need of a Holy God. The acts of this world are horrendous and He wants to wash this land over with His Spirit – for a revival to break forth, an eternal revival, we must HEAD TO THE FLOOR! Our knees stuck to the floor crying out in repentance for our sins and the sins of our nation shall bring in the strong Wind of His Spirit upon these dry and weary bones. We repent because the kingdom of God is holy and righteous and only those who are washed white as snow can encounter Him and see the kingdom. “Repent! For the Kingdom of God is at hand!” Matt. 3:2
So, repent, and turn from your wicked ways and prepare for the greatest move of the Spirit in recent history.
