Planetshakers - OverflowPrøve

Here Comes the Revival Wherever the presence of Jesus is, revival breaks out. Any time people become aware of God's manifest presence, then freedom, healing, restoration, and life follow! Just take a look at the Gospels. People followed Jesus around with such expectation because they knew that being around Him would change everything. It is no different today! The Bible says in Psalms 22 that God dwells in the praises of His people... So whenever we begin to praise, God’s presence is there. 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, "For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." So if we put these two scriptures together, we can see that when we praise God, Holy Spirit is present and He always brings freedom. In other words, He brings revival. That's what I love about our Planetshakers meetings--we praise God passionately and unashamedly and the result in every meeting is that people's lives are transformed as they experience revival. That's why we write songs that say: We are ready for You Jesus Anticipating all You'll do There's a freedom in Your presence It's electric, I'm expecting miracles Here comes the revival! Revival means that something is coming back to life. Companies can experience a revival, fashion styles can be revived, sports teams can be revived from near defeat back to victory. But real revival is something that only comes from Jesus. After all, He knows a few things about coming back to life! What needs reviving in your life today? Jesus came to give LIFE and life to the full (John 10:10). He wants to breathe life into your existence and your relationship with God right now! Sometimes our walk with God can become routine and monotonous--in other words "religious"--but that's not what Jesus illustrated for us or intended for us to have! He came to demonstrate that vibrant connection with God, where His life flows into ours. He came to demonstrate what living in revival looks like! Today, I want to encourage you to spend some time praising God--really praise! Go for it! Celebrate Him! Praise until you sense His freedom and His revival breaking out in your life. Let revival come to you and through you today.
