Revive me, oh Lord! Today in service pastor spoke about revival...it stirred my heart! I really thirst for true revival in my life, I just don't want to conform to the world's standards or thought patterns..anymore! Backslide means, to relapse into bad habits, sinful behavior, or undesirable activities. I want to always be moving forward in my walk with God, not turning and looking back, or always remembering “the good old days”, I really don't feel like there is is anything wrong with remembering happy or fun times, but I think the problem is when you long for those days again. We are a product of our thoughts. I have said it before, but I will say it again and again..I want to be a reflection of Jesus, shine through me Lord! We should always always progress in the Lord, never go back to old habits or old things. The Websters dictionary says it is a relapse into old behaviors, wow! That says a lot, in fact it has caused me to reevaluate my life and habits, and I will truly be giving some things up....when a person is sick, they will often suffer a relapse after better for awhile, well that is very interesting because that person once again becomes sick in their body.....think about it, it means when we relapse into into old things we become sick again, sin sick! The sad thing about that is Jesus died for that “sickness”, He wants us to be spiritually healthy. He wants us to be a revived, lively stone! Back in Bible days when someone wanted revival they put on sackcloth, I think a little bit of that in this day and age would not hurt! I love y'all...
