Revive Us Again
Manage episode 519720948 series 3649426
A single line from Psalm 85:6 can turn a dry heart into a living flame. We open that prayer together—“Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?”—and trace how real revival moves past hype and noise to the quiet work of God in us. If you’ve felt prayer go routine or Scripture lose its weight, you’re not alone; that ache is often the start of renewal, not the end of faith.
We explore the difference between spectacle and transformation, naming the signs of genuine revival: confession that cleanses, pride that breaks, prayer that grows urgent, and joy that roots itself in God rather than success or self. Rather than chasing a crowd, we come back to first love and ask the Holy Spirit to breathe on what has cooled. Revival isn’t entertainment; it reforms the inner life and restores the awe that routine can steal. Along the way, we offer a simple, personal prayer practice you can carry into your day, turning hunger into an honest cry for fresh fire.
We also talk about how this work spreads. It doesn’t begin in politics or the media; it begins in one bowed heart and then flows to homes, churches, and cities. By guarding small daily yeses—unhurried prayer, honest confession, gratitude, and Scripture spoken aloud—we keep the flame bright and the joy steady. If you’re ready to move from drift to delight, from numb to new, this short reflection is your invitation to ask boldly for renewal.
If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find these moments of faith and renewal.
