- to restore to life or consciousness: We revived him with artificial respiration.
- to reanimate or cheer (the spirit, heart, etc., or a person).
- Now…pray and ask Holy Spirit to highlight something from this post and to teach you. (Perhaps he already highlighted something as you were reading!). Close your eyes and be silent before him for a minute or two...or more. Breathe in Holy Spirit. (Yes, actually inhale.) Listen. Open your eyes and peruse the post. What does your eye see or your ear hear? Write it in your journal.
- Why does it seem important? You could even ask: Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit, why have you brought this to my attention? Write the answer in your journal. (The answer may be a question…an I wonder. Allow Holy Spirit to direct your thoughts.)
- Make it a prayer. Pray the scripture (and it’s insights, questions, or comments) back to the Father. Write this in your journal.
- How are you going to be different after this experience with God? What does he want you to be or do as a result? If you are not sure, ask him. Write this in your journal.
A
Reviver
#12 in the Series: My Daddy Is…
Let me
be very direct. Are you tired? I’m not just talking about physical
tiredness from working hard or from busyness, but are you tired
in your
soul…in your very being…at the core of who you are?
I have
good news! Your Heavenly Father is a
reviver for your soul…your spirit…and
your body!
Definition
(Mine): Revive—to make alive
again; to bring back from death or near
death; refresh
From Dictionary.com:
May the
Father refresh and revive you today as you experience him through his word.
“The law of the Lord is
perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the
simple;”
Psalms 19:7 ESV
“For this is what the high and
exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high
and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to
revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”
Isaiah 57:15 NIV
“And if the Spirit of him who
raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the
dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives
in you.”
Romans 8:11 NIV
“Now if we have died with
Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being
raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over
him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives
he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to
God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make
you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for
unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought
from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under
grace.”
Romans 6:8-14 ESV
“I pray that you will
continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made
available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of
this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power that was
released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of
highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!”
Ephesians 1:19-20 TPT
I look forward to
this journey with you! Onward to
freedom for your mustang heart!
