" Keys to Revival" (Part One)

" Keys to Revival"


Hosea 10:12

12. Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you

WHAT IS A REVIVAL?

A Revival is an awaking of God's People, which cause them to become active for God! "Vive means life, and Re means again" (Revival to life not Resurrection from the dead!)

It is time to break up the Fallow Ground. That is, it is time to break up the ground that has never been planted in before. It is time to get out and get going.

There is the old Urban Legend / Joke about the Chevy Nova….

It is not true, but it is cute…

The Nova was a relatively successful American car for many years. Encouraged by U.S. sales, Chevrolet began to market the American Nova throughout the world. Unfortunately, the Nova did not sell well in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Additional ads were ordered, marketing efforts were stepped up, but sales remained stagnant. Sales directors were baffled. The car had sold well in the American market; why wasn't it selling now? When they discovered the answer, it was rather embarrassing: In Spanish, Nova means "no go"


We need to get out of the No Va of no revival.
