The way to bring spiritual revival (Psalm 34:1-22)
What is revival?
Revival is the restoration of Christians' first love, and as a result, sinners' awareness and repentance toward God appear. Global revival and national revival always begin with a spiritual revival of each of us Christians. How to bring about revival?
1. Above all else, we must be broken (v. 18).
(1) People in the world consider anything that is spoiled bad and eventually throw it away. But only the bruised are useful to God.
(2) Revival always awakens a broken heart in our hearts (Psalm 69:20).
2. We must seek God's mercy and mercy.
(1) You must experience the goodness of God (verse 8).
(2) The way of spiritual revival is in a right relationship with the Lord (verses 11-22). First, in order to have a right relationship with God, we must fear the Lord (verses 11-17). Second, in order to have a right relationship with God, we must repent in our hearts (verses 18-22). Jesus, who suffered and bore our sins on the cross, atoned for the sins of his people and freed them from punishment (verses 20-22).
3. You must love the Lord God with all your heart (Deut. 6:5).
⑴ What is love?
(2) The nature of God is love.
4. You must ask the Holy Spirit if there are any unconfessed sins in your life (Acts 3:19).
(1) A revival always begins with a Christian awareness of their sins.
(2) Revival is the repentance of fallen Christians.
5. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your life so that you do not settle for comfort.
(1) We must hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6).
(2) Regardless of your circumstances, always give thanks and praise to God in every way.
We must meditate deeply on who God is and praise Him. If we know God's disposition, we will praise Him (verses 1-10). Read, study, meditate, and remember the Word of God, written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, every day (Colossians 3:16).
