The book of Revelation begins with messages to seven churches. What would happen if he were

delivering a personal message today? Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

I think he would encourage us in the areas where we're obeying him, we're being faithful.

He would acknowledge those as he did with these churches. But then I think he would shine the spotlight

of his holiness and his truth and his word into our hearts. And he would say, I have this against you.

It's Monday, October 1st, and this is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss. Repentance isn't just something you handle one time when you come to Christ.

Repentance is a daily process, and it's also one of the marks of genuine revival.

Nancy's been helping women study the marks of genuine revival.

Nancy's been helping women study the elements of personal revival in a series called Seeking

Him.

So far, Nancy's covered humility and honesty.

This week, we talk about true repentance.

Well, we've come to the fourth week of our Seeking Him series, and I hope you're

hanging in there with us. We said at the beginning of this series that revival in our lives

involves a process, kind of like farming. There's a plowing process, and that takes a lot of time.

Then there's a planting or sewing process, and there's a lot of waiting, a lot of patience, a lot of steps before you can actually reap the harvest.

And we encourage you at the beginning of this series by telling you that the first several weeks were going to be a plowing process and that we need to let the Lord God put the plow of his word down deep

into the soil of our hearts. The plowing is what prepares the soil to receive the seat. So we're

still in that plowing process and you may be wondering, are we going to plow forever? Well, the answer is no,

but this week we are going to keep plowing,

and the opportunity will come for us then to plant seeds in that prepared soil of our hearts.

And I promise you, if you'll stay with us, and if you'll stay with what God is doing in your heart,
