A casual glance at the condition of our world will reveal just how far away from God our society has traveled.

Political tension, financial instability, widespread violence, and the list goes on and on. All of this is a

reminder that we need revival. In this study, Scott Pauley leads us through a study of the Old

Testament book of Habakkuk and brings a comparison from our day to the day in which Habakkuk served.

What was needed in his day is exactly what our world needs today.

Heaven sent revival.

Let's consider his message and receive help from Habakkuk.

Imagine two friends meeting in town, crossing on the street.

One of them speaks and the other one refuses to respond.

How many times would that happen before the person gets the idea?

I don't think this person's actually my friend.

Friends respond to one another.

There is a two-way communication. That's what prayer is. Prayer is simply our response to God's

revelation. The Bible, of course, we've established as God's revelation of himself, so God speaks to us.

Through so many ways, God sends his truth to our heart. What is prayer?

It is responding to him. It's unnatural to open the Bible, to read, and then not talk to God.

You should talk to the one who's been talking to you. You can't disconnect one side of the conversation

from the other, and yet we so often do that.

We've come today to one of the great elements of revival. In our last study, we talked about

expectancy, just getting ready, believing God's going to speak. Well, now we come to another one,

and it is this, responsiveness. It's one thing to say you want God to going to speak. Well, now we come to another one, and it is this, responsiveness.

It's one thing to say you want God to speak to you.
