“Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?” – Psalm 85:6
This Sunday, our church begins its annual revival services.
We’ve been praying. Planning. Preparing.
But real revival? It doesn’t begin with a schedule. It begins with a stirring.
A church revival isn’t just about a series of meetings—it’s about hearts being realigned with the heart of God. It’s a sacred space where we pause from the noise of everyday life and make room for the Holy Spirit to move freely in our congregation… and in us. Revival is meant to awaken what’s grown dormant, convict what’s gone unnoticed, and reignite the fire that once burned brightly for Christ.
It’s not about hype. It’s about holiness.
As Christian readers, we often gravitate toward stories of transformation—of light overcoming darkness, of redemption breaking through ruin. That’s what revival is at its core. A fresh encounter with the God who still heals, still speaks, still saves.
Revival isn’t limited to the sanctuary. It can begin in the quiet of your morning prayer. In the conviction stirred during worship. In the moment you open your Bible, desperate for more than surface-level faith.
Maybe you’re there right now.
Longing for more than going through the motions.
Needing a fresh touch. A rekindled joy. A reason to hope again.
Let this be your invitation.
As our church gathers this week to seek the Lord, I’m praying revival won’t be something we attend—but something we carry. That what happens inside the church walls would overflow into our homes, our neighborhoods, our relationships, and even the books we read and the stories we tell.
Because revival isn’t meant to be contained.
It’s meant to spread.
And it starts with one surrendered heart—yours. Mine.
So whether you’re attending a revival at your church or simply longing for one in your spirit, remember: God still revives. He still restores. And He still responds to a heart fully His.
Let revival begin. In the church. In the nation. But first… in us.
All the best. . .
Mary
