a supernatural invasion of God. Today's daily devotion from Pastor Greg Laurie.

Our scripture reading today is from Psalm 80 verse 18. Then we will not turn back from you.

Revive us and we will call upon your name. We can't create a revival. We can't organize a revival,

but we can agonize and prayer for a revival. A revival is a supernatural invasion of God.

It's something that God does for us and not something we do for him. One person defined

revival as a community saturated with God. Richard Owen Roberts, who wrote a great book called

Revival, described it as an extraordinary movement of the Holy Spirit producing extraordinary

results. A.W. Tojure defined revival as that which changes the moral climate of the community.

Revival is nothing more or less than a new beginning of obedience to God. And really, non-believers

don't need revival. They need salvation. The church needs revival. Revival is for believers only,

but evangelism is for non-believers. Charles Spurgeon said,

to be revived is a blessing which can only be enjoyed by those who have some degree of life.

Those who have no spiritual life are not and cannot be in the strictest sense of the term

subjects of a revival. A true revival is to be looked for in the Church of God. I don't think most

Americans have heard an authentic biblical gospel presentation. In fact, I think we have a lot of

almost Christians in our nation today. They know a little about the gospel, but they don't

understand it fully. They haven't responded to it or embraced it. For example, when the Apostle

Paul presented the gospel to Herodogrippa, the ruler said, you almost persuade me to become a

Christian. One of the greatest revivals in human history started with one man, Jonah. Initially,

he ran from God, but ultimately he came to his senses. God has called us like Jonah to go and

preach the gospel. The question is, are we doing it?
