Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries. I've often said that

that revival is an amazing word. I love revival. We call what God's doing here, Carolina

Revival. It's an amazing. The word literally means a restoration of vitality.

That has lost vitality coming into a place of renewed vitality. If I was

speaking outside of the Western Church I would find that when people wanted to talk about the concept of revival,

they would actually refer to it as renewal.

And if you go into a lot of the older writings, some of them just these stages of antiquity,

these great minds the Lord gave the church, they used the phrase renewal, more so than they

use the phrase revival.

And I think revival is a starting point where God restores vitality,

but renewal is this oil and this wine beginning to be poured into you by way of

revival that literally causes you to become pliable again. I believe the way the heart of stone becomes the heart of

flesh is by an exchange in an atmosphere of renewal. And I'm learning a lot during

this season and one of the things I'm learning is people

don't have to be present in this room to be able to engage in this measure of

encounter and this encounter that the Lord's doing in some hearts today, you know, you may say, well, I'm not dead, I'm not dry yet, but I'm hungry for renewal.

I want to be made more new than I was when I entered into this occasion today.

So I just bless you wherever you are to believe that what the Lord is doing is pouring in a new oil and pouring in a new wine. An Anakinos, of another kind. The Lord is taking the same

substance that you were and he's putting it into such a place of his presence that you come out like Jeremiah described what he saw at the Potter's house.

He said he made it again another vessel as

seemeth good to the Potter to make he made it again another is it it or is it another

yes it's it again another by way of being in his hands.
