A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs.

We will study the role of the Bible in revival and how Gods Word can make a life-changing difference in us if we surrender ourselves in faith and obedience to its precepts and truths.
1. The Words Creative Power (Psalm 119:50) 2. The Word and Jesus (Luke 24:27, 32) 3. The Word and Faith (Romans 10:17)
1. David found courage and strength. 2. He discovered hope and guidance. 3. Brought light to his darkened mind. 4. Nourished his famished heart. 5. Clung to promise of deliverance. 6. Clung to promise of forgiveness. 7. Clung to promise of guidance.
Your word has given me life. Revival is finding new life in Gods word.
There is value in wise human counsel. The problem is that human counsel does not carry with it the power to accomplish the kind of change that Gods Word can.
The creative energy that called the worlds into existence is in the word of God. This word imparts power; it begets life. Every command is a promise; accepted by the will, received into the soul, it brings with it the life of the Infinite One. It transforms the nature, and re-creates the soul in the image of God.

Any so-called revival based solely on external feelings or experience is shallow at best, deceptive at worst. When revival is rooted in the Word of God, it is an experience that lasts and makes a difference in our lives and in the lives of the people around us.
Speaking of the time just before His return, Jesus said, When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth? Faith will be in short supply in the last days. Is faith believing that God will give us anything we want? Is faith centered in our desires? Believing we will receive it if we only believe hard enough?
Faith, true faith, is always focused on Gods will, not on our wishes. It is trusting in God, believing in His promises, and acting on His Word. Our faith grows as we listen to Gods Word and put it into practice (Romans 10:17; James 2:17, 18).
Opening our minds to the teachings of Gods Word builds faith; and doing what God sayseven if it is contrary to our personal desires prepares us to receive the fullness of the Spirits power.
