Summary: Revival - Then What?
Overview
This sermon explores the question of "Revival, Then What?" by examining Isaiah's vision in Isaiah chapter 6. The central message is that genuine revival involves a profound encounter with God's glory, leading to a clear understanding of one's own sinfulness and the condition of those around us. This spiritual awakening then prepares individuals for God's call to service, often in unexpected ways and at any age or from any walk of life.
Key Points
Revival often involves a form of "death" to our own plans, desires, pride, and self-confidence, allowing for clearer spiritual vision.
Encountering God's glory, whether through grand natural wonders or microscopic life, can humble us and reveal our own unworthiness.
Seeing God clearly and recognizing our own condition leads to speaking truth, repentance, and submission.
After revival, God actively calls individuals to service, and these calls can come at any age and from any background.
We should not limit God's potential calls based on age, occupation, or perceived suitability.
The call of God is a natural byproduct of spiritual revival, much like increased recruitment after a national crisis.
