P. 3
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REVIVE SOMETHING?
“TO BRING BACK TO LIFE, TO RENEW,
TO QUICKEN, TO RESTORE,
TO RAISE FROM A STATE OF NEGLECT,
TO STIR TO ACTION, TO REINVIGORATE,
TO STIMULATE, TO ILLUMINATE…
“AND NOW FOR
A LITTLE WHILE,
GRACE HAS BEEN SHOWN FROM
THE LORD OUR GOD,
TO LEAVE US
A REMNANT TO ESCAPE,
AND TO
GIVE US A PEG IN
HIS HOLY PLACE,
THAT OUR GOD MAY ENLIGHTEN OUR EYES
AND GIVE US A MEASURE OF REVIVAL
IN OUR BONDAGE.” Ezra 9:8
A VERY PROPHETIC PRAYER OF HABAKKUK THE
PROPHET CONTAINS A SEVEN-FOLD REVELATION
OF WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BRING REVIVAL TO
TODAY’S BACKSLIDDEN CHURCH.
THIS PROPHETIC FORMULA FOR REVIVAL
CAN TAKE PLACE EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR
CORPORATELY. IT IS TRUE THAT SUCH A REVIVAL
TAKING PLACE BY A FEW CONVICTED
INDIVIDUALS CAN GREATLY SPREAD TO
BECOMING A CORPORATE REVIVAL.
