Why We Need Revival
"The last spiritual awakening in America - the Jesus movement - began more than five decades ago. An awakening occurs when God pours out His Spirit to impact a culture. It is entirely up to God.
"On the other hand, a revival is what the church must experience, to become what it was always meant to be.
Pastor Greg Laurie
"A hallmark of revival is repentance. Jesus said to the church in Ephesus, I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will remove your lampstand from its place. - Revelation 2:4-5
"Three essential steps for personal spiritual revival:
1. Remember. Reflect on how your faith once was.
2. Repent. Turn from complacency and back toward God.
3. Repeat. Return to the actions you did when your faith was vibrant.
"Revivals don't last. It's something we must seek again and again.
"Billy Graham once said, 'The greatest need is a spiritual awakening that will restore morals and integrity throughout the nation.'
"America needs a spiritual awakening, and the church needs a revival. Both begin with us. Pray for God to move once again."
