Summary

In life, we often look for a road map: what works, what doesn't, and how to get to our destination with the least amount of friction. In part three of the Seeking Revival series, Lisa shares a “revival roadmap” of sorts, offering four things that prevent us from experiencing God in a fresh and personal way. (Warning: As you listen to Lisa's insight and discover which “revival-killer” most resonates with you, be prepared to step out of your comfort zone!) This episode will inspire and encourage you to be an active participant in the move of God: recognizing that revival begins on a personal level long before it ever appears in the world around you.

0:00.0	Can you stop revival from happening? And if so, what stops it? Going to talk about what I believe
0:07.3	are the four things that may be stopping you from experiencing revival. In this, my part three of my
0:13.8	four-part series called Seeking Revival. Hi, I'm Lisa Whittle, a little fired up, a lot in love with Jesus and never filtered around here. Welcome to the Revival. Hi, I'm Lisa Whittle, a little fired up, a lot in love with Jesus and never filtered
0:22.7	around here. Welcome to the revival season of the Jesus Over Everything show.
0:33.3	So I believe with all my heart that God can move when and where he wants to, and there is nothing
0:39.9	that limits him when he chooses to do that. And at the same time, we know from Scripture that we do
0:45.7	have a part in our lives in partnering with the Lord. We aren't living on autopilot. We are not robots with no choice. We have free will. And even
0:59.3	deeper than that, how we respond to the Lord and how we position ourselves as far as opening up our

1:12.8	his spirit can move in and through us. One of the things I really learned about this was when
1:21.1	I studied King Saul in the Old Testament when I was writing the Hard Good Bible study.
1:25.4	And even more specifically, how he and David were

1:34.9	great ability to be used by God. But Saul hid physically and figuratively from the shaping of God and the
1:43.1	call of God on his life, and that unwillingness
1:47.0	to let God shift him and change him and work in him in ways in his character and in his
1:54.6	life that were necessary.
1:58.0	And as a result, Saul thwarted his own ability to be used by God in the same way that David was used by God.
2:04.9	Wasn't that David was sinless and Saul wasn't, that's impossible because they were both human.
2:11.5	Wasn't that they both didn't have character flaws.
2:13.9	It's just that Saul was unwilling to allow the Lord to work in him and he ran away instead,
