Revival – 1

God bought men from all places around the globe when he shed his blood on the cross. He gave us life that will last forever. Freedom from sin and from the kingdom of darkness. And also gave us the supernatural peace, with the inner life, the life within, the life in close touch with God himself living inside us. There is no great thing.

From there, we should be able to speak out, to take the heavenly message to the people that still does not know Him. So others would meet the Lord, and be set free, finding in him the source of life, and live with him forever in heaven.

Revival means to find inside us the love we once had towards the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. As he loved us first, so we must go back to him, to love him to the point of willing to give our lives if necessary so to see his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We must have his love in us, to the point of wanting to see everyone coming to discover his love, his peace, his live, and to fall in love with him.

Revival means to love Jesus Christ as we did when we first met him, when we were ;lost, without knowing we were living as slaves in the kingdom of darkness, when Jesus opened our eyes, and broke our chains, and set us free. Revival means coming back to the first love.

Revival also means to live a life that pleases God, a holy life, a life of obedience, a life in deep relationship with the Lord, a life where love towards the Lord would move us to follow him to all the places he would like us to be. And if we compare Jesus to a groom, and the church with a bride, then Jesus Christ will want to revive the church, so the church will be ready, clean, beautiful, so to meet the groom, and be taken to heaven by himself. This is when we can start talking about the rapture. The Bible says about signs of the end of time, when the bride will meet Jesus in the sky. For that to happen, the bride need to be clean, beautiful, ready. That is why the Christians need to be in full alert this days. If the rapture is going to happen soon, then the revival would need to happen even sooner. If a person miss it, his or her destiny would be much suffering on earth, and eternity in hell. This is what one can understand reading the Bible. So, we all need to repent from our sins, and be made ready to meet the Lord.
