From The Heart 

From the Heart.

II Chronicles 7:14,15  If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.

Vacations are looked up as a time to get away from the responsibilities of work and allow a family to spend time together. The spending of time and making new memories as a family can draw a family closer together.

Revival has been a part of the church since it's beginning.  A time of spiritual renewal for the believer to stop and focus on the Lord.  Just as a vacation allows one to remove themselves from the activities of life, revival is a spiritual time with God allowing Him to speak to each of us. 

For this spiritual renewal to take place, God has set some parameters for us to commune with Him.

We are to humble ourselves, are we willing to put self behind and make ourselves available to God.  We are to pray, which indicates our dependence upon the Lord for guidance and directions in our lives.  We are to seek His face, to look upon his holiness and to compare ourselves to Him and not to each other.  We are to turn from wickedness, turn away from sin.  As we humble ourselves, pray and seek His face we will see the sin in our lives that is hindering us from service to our God and King.

Spiritual renewal is an individual responsibility that affects the body of believers.  Are you prepared to meet with God?   
Bro. Kyle
