Difference Between Revival and Awakening 00:02:06
Now I have a question.
What's the difference between revival and awakening?
They're totally different.
They're totally different.
And there are many definitions for both of them.
The easiest way to recognize the difference is that a revival can be and usually is begun in an individual heart.
Glory, you can have revival.
You can live in perpetual revival.
I can have revival.
My family can have revival.
My local church can have revival.
Right?
Awakening is much broader.
Awakening comes when God Almighty sovereignly decides as a result of prayer to visit with his presence outside the church, in the store.
People get born again without anyone witnessing to them.
They receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
They get out of their automobiles, or in many cases, off their wagons back in the day, and fall out under the power of God and wake up repentant.
That is a divine visitation of the Spirit of God in response to prayer.
Revival comes if my people call by my name, my people, my people, call by my name.
That's now.
We need now.
We need that now.
Yes.
If my people call by my name, first prerequisite to revival, humility.
Never Satisfied Hunger 00:01:34
Not, what is humility?
Not thinking you know it all.
That's right.
That's right.
So what develops, Jim, what you talked about, a hunger for this book.
Yes.
It's your meat.
It's your bread.
It's your sustenance.
It's your water.
It's your life.
You don't have to try to read the Bible.
You have to try to stop reading the Bible.
That's right.
Right?
So there's that incessant passion, that hunger born of the humility of, I don't know it all.
I don't have it all.
I need more.
Your Bible says that the earth crying out for water is never satisfied.
The empty womb desiring to conceive is never satisfied.
A fire consuming fuel is never satisfied.
We must develop a heart that is never satisfied.
A humble heart that says, teach me, Lord.
Make me become what you want me to become.
Give me the want to, to want to.
Humble themselves and then pray and then repent.
Turn from their wicked ways.
Seek my face.
Then I will hear from heaven.
First, I will forgive their sin.
