Revival is both loved and hated, desired and feared. Genuine revival of affections for God are great needed. Some might despise these moments of renewal as excessive and unbiblical. We are not concerned in these pages to criticize the 'off' movements, but instead to seek after a renewed heart for God governed by firm biblical principles.
We need not go far in the Bible to see the many things God says about the renewing of man's affections for Himself. God Himself has shown us the path to revival. He desires to lead us down this path. This might sound oversimplistic, but it is not. Look with us at the very promises God gives us to enable and encourage us to seek Him with all of our hearts.
Actually, you or I can now seek revival. By God's promises the chains of darkness that has snagged our soul can be cut and His light shine in our hearts. Why wouldn't we take this step forward right now? What is holding you back?
