Psalm 119:10a
“With my whole heart I have sought You.” When we come to the place where we can say, as the Psalmist said in verse 10a, “With my whole heart I have sought You”, which is the key to anything we want to see God move in. Right now, we need revival, but it’s not the kind of show where a preacher pushes you on the head to make you fall backward and someone guides you to the ground, saying you’re slain in the spirit. It doesn’t even start at a Church event. I’m talking about a revival that starts with each individual and grows in the Church, not the other way around. First, we need to confess our sins and repent. Then we can start praying for God to change our hearts for His glory. There are 7 Revive me statements found here in the 119th Psalm that we can start praying through individually until we catch the “fire” before we can pass it on to everyone else. We start with verse 26b, “Revive me according to Your Word”, which won’t happen unless you’re in the Word daily. 37b, “Revive me according to Your way”, not our way, and have Him bless it. 40b, “Revive me in Your righteousness”. Verse 88, “Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth”.49b, “O Lord, revive me according to Your justice”. 156b, “Revive me according to Your judgments” and, 159b “revive me according to Your lovingkindness”. These are only part of the verses they are from, and it is good to pray through the whole verse as we seek God with our whole heart. A fire can start with a spark in the right conditions. Are the conditions right in your heart to spark a fire to have a personal revival, or are you still looking for someone else to start it?
