2 Corinthians 7:10 The sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret.<\/p>\n
2 Timothy 2:25\u00a0 \u00a0God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Jonah 3:8\u00a0\u00a0but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way<\/p>\n
Acts 3:19 \u00a0Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,<\/p>\n
Acts 11:18\u00a0 When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, \u201cThen to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
What is revival? It is when the Spirit of God using the Word of God motivates the people of God to do what? To obey the will of God. That is the third ingredient for revival: there must be a response to the Spirit of God. We see that in Nehemiah 8. When the Israelites heard the Word of God, they were moved by genuine emotion. Verse 9 says, \u201cAll the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law.\u201d What is it that caused them to weep? If you have drifted away from God and you start hearing the Word of God, do not be surprised if there is genuine grief when you suddenly realize how far you have fallen short of God\u2019s plan for your life. In 2 Corinthians 7:10, Paul said, \u201cThe sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret . . . but the sorrow of the world produces death.\u201d There is a kind of grief that is not good. It causes you to live with regrets about your past, thinking, \u201cHow could God ever use me?\u201d If grief causes you to be paralyzed, that is not from God. That is from Satan. God wants us to be awakened to our sin so that we can be delivered from our sin. A true, godly sorrow leads to repentance. So what did Nehemiah and Ezra say to the people? \u201cDo not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength\u201d (Nehemiah 8:10). They were saying, \u201cDo not be sorrowful forever about your sin. Today is a day for great rejoicing, because the fact that you are aware of your sin means that the Holy Spirit of God is working in your life.\u201d\u00a0 (Jerehiah)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
