Part 4 - It has always been more important to Jesus what He’s doing is us, than what He’s doing through us! We get caught up in His outward power, but it’s His inward power that He longs to demonstrate! In, then through, us!
Part 3 - “Arise, take up your bed and walk'? 10 "But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic, 11 "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."
Part 2 - “But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 "Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, '[Your] sins are forgiven you,' or to say...”
Part 1 - Mark 2:5-11, “When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you." 6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 "Why does this [Man] speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
“My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God” (Psalm 84:2)! “The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!” – Leonard Ravenhill. #CryOut4God
True revival starts with me being revived. It starts with the body of Christ, the Church. Before we ask God to come down and transform others, we need God to come down and transform us!
God wants us to have a revival so that we can be a revival. In other words, God wants me, personally, to have a revival so that I can become the revival He wants to take to the world.
"Every ransomed man owes his salvation to the fact that during the days of his sinning God kept the door of mercy open by refusing to accept any of his evil acts as final." AW Tozer
