Here's Henry Blackaby.

The culture, the evangelical culture, leaves us to believe that if you give God 15 minutes

of a quiet time, in the morning, God ought to be very pleased with you.

I'd say, no, no, no, no, he is your life.

You're listening to Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Wednesday, November 28th.

We're in the final week of a substantial series called Seeking Him, The Joy of Personal Revival.

We've looked at what happens to someone experiencing revival.

In this final week, we're learning how to keep the fires of revival burning in our hearts

through prayer and God's Word.

Nancy had a chance to talk with Henry Blackaby about maintaining a devotional life,

and we're about to hear that conversation.

Dr. Blackaby begins in an interesting way, listing what he calls some of the great chapters of the Bible.

Psalm 119. I read several times a year, go through it carefully

because it tells me the incredible difference in my daily life

that the Word of God will make.

It'll keep me from sin.

It'll open the whole doors of my walk to God.

And then Isaiah 35 and Isaiah 55.

And there are great chapter, Deuteronomy, 30, my word is not hid from you.

I set before you life and blessing, death and cursing. Don't leave the relationship to me.

If a person who might be listening would say, where could I turn in the Bible to some of the greatest chapters that unfold the heart and mind and soul and love of God for my life?

And I would say if you have any doubts about your salvation, read carefully through 1 John.
