Isaiah 40:31 – “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”
As I read, prayed, and pondered the Word of God, I was reminded of something the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart before the new year arrived. That reminder has stirred my heart beyond words.
In the Last Days, there will be a spiritual renewal that will produce a powerful revival, bringing about a restoration of all that was lost. Out of those three comes a fourth word that is powerful. What is that Word? It is Revision. What do we mean by Revision?
Let’s consider some elements of the Last Day’s Revision:
•There will be a Revision of our Expectations.
We will become Kingdom Conscious. We will learn to live in the atmosphere of heaven. We will begin expecting the Kingdom of God to be manifest on Earth NOW, not someday!
•There will be a complete Revision of our Perspective.
We will rethink our view of the Kingdom. We will rethink our view of God’s Promises. We will rethink our view of God’s Purposes. We will rethink our view of God’s Power.
• There will be a Revision of our Purposes.
It is vital that we comprehend that doing what we have always done will not produce what we have not achieved. If we are going to be the Body of Christ manifest, we have to become the Body of Christ in purpose.
- There will be a Revision of our Prayers.
This will be a total transformation of our prayer life. We will be unwilling to settle for anything less than the fullness of God’s Purposes, Power, and Provision. We will refuse to excuse ineffective prayers. We will demonstrate a mental acceptance or verbal expression of belief in the Covenant, Person, Purpose, Power, and Provisions of God.
There is a Danger and a Warning we need to Heed:
It is possible to give assent to the validity of the Bible and never fully live its purposes. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to work the work of Revision in our lives so that we are not just followers of Christ but one with Him. We will no longer simply represent Him, but we will manifest Him. We will no longer talk about God; we will demonstrate God. We will no longer pray hoping, but we will pray expecting and pray until.
Are you Ready for Revision? Are you Ready for the Last Days, Revival, Renewal, and Restoration? It cannot and will not happen until there is God’s Divine Revision in us and through us. In a great sense, we are the Key to the Last Days’ Harvest. We have the Call, the Commission, and the Covenant. Are we willing to fully surrender our all to Him and die to Self and Live to Him?
Isaiah 1:19 declares that if we are willing and obedient, we will eat the good of the land! Are we Hungry? Are we Ready? There will be a Harvest, a Renewal, a Restoration, and a Revival, and we will either experience the Revision and participate in it, or we will watch it transpire from the outside. My cry is, “Include me, LORD! Revise Me, LORD!” The song “I Surrender All” is echoing in my heart now!
Lord, Revive us, Restore us, Renew us, and Revise us!
