July 2025 – Revival Begins With Me
One of the common characteristics of some of the greatest figures in the Bible; they always started with themselves.
Noah built an ark, he didn’t make excuses as to why he wasn’t able.
Abraham left his land and his family without excuse.
Esther was willing to go in to the king in order to save a nation, regardless of what the consequences might be.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, when threatened with the fiery furnace, said that God could save them…but even if He didn’t, they would still serve the Lord!
The list goes on; David was willing to be the one to step onto the battlefield. Nehemiah was willing to be the one to go back to Jerusalem and bear the burden of rebuilding the walls. And our own savior, born of the spirit of God, was willing to come Himself in order to save all of humanity!
The point is, anything great that ever happens and any revival that you are going to have, is going to happen because you choose to step out and be the difference maker. You choose to take the responsibility upon your shoulders. You choose to, without excuse, boldly proclaim “If you can use anything Lord, you can use me”. I would like to remind you and challenge you today, whatever it is that you want, whatever you need from God, whatever you want to see the church become; you step out and be the first one regardless of the sacrifice and the cost. God always has a way of honoring those who will boldly proclaim that “Revival begins with me.”
