REVIVAL

"Wilt Thou not revive us again?" Psa_85:6

1. THE NEED OF REVIVAL. The need is apparent wherever there is Coldness, Languidness, and Fruitless-ness.

2. THE SOURCE OF REVIVAL. "Thou." It is God, the Spirit, that quickeneth. No artificial appliances will bring a revival in Nature.

3. THE MEANS OF REVIVAL. "Wilt Thou not?" The fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. Jam_5:17; Psa_65:9; Isa_40:28.

4. THE SUBJECTS OF REVIVAL. "Us." It is a personal need.

5. THE EFFECT OF REVIVAL. "That Thy people may rejoice in Thee."
