Introduction:

A.W. Tozer Book
The Size Of The Soul: Principles Of Revival and Spiritual Growth.
He writes - “ Do a thorough job of repenting “
I am afraid today, that we have lost a lot of our moral compass when it comes to sin. I think in the case of the church we have forgotten just how holy God is, we have lost our sense of reverence for God, the bible says in proverbs 1:7
Proverbs 1:7 KJV 1900
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
we need to see sin as King David saw his sin in
Psalm 51:4 KJV 1900
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done this evil in thy sight: That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.
psalm 51
our problem is we want to sin with out the consequeses, we want to pray a quick prayer of forgiveness and move on. God deserves more than that...
He is holy!!!!
Isaiah 6:1–3 KJV 1900
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: The whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah 6:
Isaiah 6:3 KJV 1900
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: The whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah
Revelation 4:8 KJV 1900
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
rev. 4
Always remember Revival always starts with ME!!!!
we cant keep living the same half committed, immature, still on milk, non reveretial, unspiritual lives and think that God will bring revival to our homes, our church or our community.
Contrary to what tradition teaches us,
There must be a personal REVIVAL before there can be any revival.
If you think that bringing a couple of dynamic speakers in for a week out of the year will bring revival, friend I will just put it like the Apostle Paul said it.
How To Have Personal Revival:
Godly Sorrow
2 Corinthians 7:9–10 KJV 1900
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

2. Stir The Gift Of God
2 Timothy 1:6 KJV 1900
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2 Tim.
2 Timothy 1:6 KJV 1900
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2 Tim. 1:6
3. Press toward the Mark
Philippians 3:14 KJV 1900
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
