Revive Us

For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

2 Tim 1:6 (NASB95)

Our church just had a weekend of revival services.  Why do we do this?  It is one of those church things we do that sometime are done without thinking of the why.  Revival doesn't just happen because we have a set time of services.  It happens because we say to God, "Lord, I need to be renewed in my walk with you.  Revive me!"  It may happen during "revival services" or it may happen as you commit to some time with Him.  Either way we need that time.

That is exactly what the Apostle Paul was saying to Timothy.  Timothy revive the gift of God in your life.  Renew your heart, mind, body and spirit to the masters call.  "Kindle afresh", sounds like revival to me.

Do you need to be renewed in your commitment and walk?  Do you need to be refreshed and rekindled in your passion for Him.  It starts in your heart.  You don't have to have a set schedule of worship services to do.  Just spend some quality time with Him.  He will renew you if you come before Him expecting and open to the work of His Holy Spirit.
