We Need Revival

(Habakkuk 3:2-3) What is the great aim of prayer? It is not to get something from God; instead, it is to get to God. Instead of praying to get something from His hand, we should pray to draw nearer to Him (08239241004) 

(Habakkuk 3:2) What are you praying for? Today's passage reveals the necessity of praying for mercy. Every good thing that comes into your life results from God's mercy.  (08238241003) 

(Habakkuk 3:1-2) The situation is desperate, but God's people are not. No doubt, the times call for revival, yet we are unwilling to pay the price for it. God delights in answering desperate prayers.  (08237241002) 

(Habakkuk 3:1-2) When we think of prayer, we usually think of our words. We even convince ourselves that using certain words in a certain way better persuades God. However, the most effective prayers begin in God's Word.  (08236241001)

(Habakkuk 2:18-20) An idol is anything that takes the place only the Lord is worthy of. There is only one God! Today, we reach the culmination of Habakkuk's "woes."  (08233240927)

(Habakkuk 2:9-11) Greed within our hearts eventually infiltrates our homes. The negative consequences affect us and others around us. Simply put, to covet is to desire something God does not desire for us.  (08230240924) 

(Habakkuk 2:5-8) At some point, we all have wondered if God will ever respond to the wickedness around us. Habakkuk shared a similar concern in his day. We can be sure that God deals with sin wherever, whenever, and in whomever He finds it.  (08229240923) 

(Habakkuk 2:4) When God repeats Himself, it is never because He forgot He said it the first time. He uses repetition so we will not forget what He has said. Notice in today's episode how the just live by their faith.  (08227240920) 

(Habakkuk 2:4) The Christian life is a faith life from start to finish. There is no substitute for faith, for it is the only thing that accesses divine resources. When we believe in God, He sends revival.  (08226240919)

(Habakkuk 2:3) We live in a fast-paced, instant-results society. In Scripture, we discover that God does not work according to our timetable. He commands us to trust that His timing is perfect and to wait patiently upon Him. (08224240917) 

(Habakkuk 2:2) The truth that we have learned must trickle into how we live. As we read God's Word, our aim should be to take the next step of obedience toward the Lord. In other words, the Bible affects our beliefs and behavior.  (08223240916) 

(Habakkuk 2:2) As we have been studying ingredients for revival, we examine another essential aspect - attentiveness. How much attention are you actually paying to the Bible? Your attentiveness to Scripture clearly indicates your attentiveness to the God of Scripture.  (08221240913) 

(Habakkuk 2:1-2) It's one thing to desire to hear from God, but it's another thing entirely to have a response ready for Him. The decision to say yes, regardless, should be our foremost decision.  (08220240912) 

(Habakkuk 2:1) Today, God's people are guilty of having low expectations of Him. We pray little prayers and live by shallow faith. Our God is capable of things abundantly above all we could ask or think! (08219240911) 

(Habakkuk 2:1-4) God's word is revelation, and our work is preparation. In other words, we must be ready to receive what God longs to relay to us. The difficulty lies not in getting God to speak but in preparing ourselves to hear.  (08218240910) 

(Habakkuk 2:1-2) Many people claim they want revival. How can we receive revival? Would we even recognize it if it came? God desires to send us revival, but He will only send it to those devoted to His Word and prayer. (08217240909)

(Habakkuk 1:2-12) Christians have to live in two worlds simultaneously: the one they can see and the one they cannot. This world is full of violence, strife, and contention because the truth of God's Word has been ignored. How can we live in the world to come? (08213240904) 

(Habakkuk 1:1) While God does lift our burden of sin and take the burden of our cares through Christ, He does allow burdens into our lives to drive us to Him. Everything that reminds us of our weaknesses is God's gift to us.  (08212240903)
