Set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. – Colossians 2:2-3
As believers, we know that Jesus was and is perfect. The One perfect life. And scripture tells us that through His substitutionary death on the Cross, Christ was able to open the very gates of heaven for us.
But scripture doesn’t stop there… because those of us who are reading and writing this, at least, are still here on earth, in our old earthly bodies. Our bad old selves!
The Good News is this: The Bible tells us that …we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. – Ephesians 2:10
We are clay in the Hands of the Master Potter. And by DAILY YIELDING our lives to His Spirit, our minds are filled with the truth of heaven.
“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18
Friend, do you know Him? Do you know the one who made the lame to walk and the blind to see? He can calm the waves of your life as surely as He calmed the waves in the storm. Come, and see. And fill your mind with the truth of heaven.
Song :”God of Revival” written by Brian Johnson and performed by Don Ives.
The word REVIVAL, or “Châyâh” In Hebrew, is used 264 times in the Old Testament. To the Ancient Hebrew, a REVIVAL from God was defined as being restored from physical or spiritual sickness to health, and from physical and spiritual death to Eternal Life.
Friend, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me” – John 14:6, and “For unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins” – John 8:24.
Perhaps you are already a Christian but one who needs revival in your hardened and fallow heart.
The Prophet Hosea talked about that:
Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. – Hosea 10:12
Friend, do you want REVIVAL?
You must till the fallow ground of your heart. Fallow ground is ground which has once been tilled, but has since gotten hard and now lies waste. It needs to be broken up and made soft again, before it is ready to receive seed. If you mean to break up the fallow ground of your heart, you must begin by looking at your heart – examine carefully the state of your mind and see where you are. Many people never even seem to think about doing this. They pay no attention to their own hearts, and never know whether they are doing well in their walk with the Lord or not – whether they are bearing fruit or are totally barren. REVIVE US, OH LORD!
Remember… Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; FOR IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you. – Hosea 10:12
