We need a revival not a programme. We need a reawakening of our souls and a new awareness of the power of God. We do not need another jamboree, but true repentance coupled with a changed life. We do not need another noise, we need a shaking and a mighty rushing wind. We do not need another movement, we need a reformation.
We need the Lord to come again and restore us unto Himself. We need the Lord to open our eyes again that we may see Him. We want to see His Holiness again that we may see our depravity. We need a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we are tired of speaking in tongues and not living Christ-like. There is no other desire we have than to hear again the same voice that spoke in the valley of dry bones to bring us back to life.
Our nations are in darkness, yet we are the light. We cannot pretend anymore. Jesus, come again in your power and reawaken us.
We need a revival!

Meditation: …that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. For we were slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. – Ezra 9:8-9
You will succeed because Jesus loves You!
