Do you need a personal spiritual revival?

Coming up today, Pastor Greg Laurie invites you to pause for a few moments and take stock of where you are in your relationship with the Lord.

Was there a time in your Christian life when your passion for Christ was stronger?

Was there a time in your life when you read God's Word more faithfully and were involved in church more than you are now?

Was there a time when you shared the gospel more?

If so, you need a personal spiritual revival.

This is the day when the Lord stopped following.

Somebody asked the great evangelist, White Hill Moody, why he said he needed to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit.

He said, because I leak.

When it comes to having a passionate relationship with the Lord, we have to continually refresh our passion because we all have a slow leak.

And today on a new beginning, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see where we are in that relationship with the Lord and take the proper steps to reenergize our faith,

and further and fidelity to the Lord.

Today, we're back in the book of Nehemiah, and we're in Nehemiah chapter 7.

So turn there with me. The title of the message is how to have a personal spiritual revival.

You know, when you look back at the late 60s and the early 70s, there's a lot of parallels between then and now.

I've read a lot of interesting articles lately about this noting how similar they actually are.

It was a nation that was divided back then, racial conflict, a drug culture.

Things were very dark. But listen to this.

The things are really dark. God's light can shine brightly. And I think we're due for another Jesus revolution.
