The need for Personal Revivial

I hope I am not the only person who needs a personal revivial

No. Me too.

I hope I am not the only person who needs a personal revivial

We all need a continual infilling of the Holy Spirit. That's my definition of personal revival.

God Bless you Dom!

Nope, I'm in need of it myself.

Me too:-)

That's the cry of my heart as well. That Christ would reign in my heart and everything would be totally given over to Him. I'm trusting Jesus to bring me to that place.

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

It's not some cheap sentimental feeling but rather a place where I'm fully given over to Him. May Jesus do this work in our hearts as we fully submit to Him.

I believe God is more than willing to send a fresh rain from heaven to our hearts.

A words of encouragement:

1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
-Hosea 6:1-3

We all do need a personal Revival.
I say, Fill us to over-flowing with Your Spirit, Lord.
God Bless all,
Nellie

Dom,

I sense you feel despondent over your condition. But be reminded "To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable. Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a pharisee and the other a tax collector. The pharisee stood up and prayed about himself 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men - robbers, evildoers, adulterers or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, I give a tenth of all I get.

But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

I tell you this man, rather than the other went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

"I live in a high and lofty place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. Isiah 57:15

God bless you,

Murray

Here's a wonderful hymn by Brother Charles Wesley that I thought fit this thread. It's entitled "Lord I believe a rest remains" and is based on Hebrews 4:9 "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."

Lord, I believe a rest remains
To all Thy people known,
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
And Thou art loved alone.

A rest where all our soul’s desire
Is fixed on things above;
Where fear, and sin, and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love.

O that I now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!
Now, Savior, now the the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.

Remove this hardness from my heart,
This unbelief remove:
To me the rest of faith impart,
The Sabbath of Thy love.
