Psalm 138:7

The above Scripture is my experience, and when you look into the Hebrew of the word “revive” you see that the promise that in trouble we are promised reviving, that is the capacity of new life, miraculous raising up from a bad place. It is remaining alive.

See below, “in pregnant sense of fulness of life in divine favour.” This is the season we need the reviving in the midst of trouble. Whatever trouble we may face we can call upon the “reviving”, restoring to life, be quickened. The reviving from sickness is ours for believing, or from feeling faint, or needing God’s preservation. It is there for those who walk in God in covenant.

I have left copied below the root meaning of “revive” because I wanted you to see it for yourself. Not just take my word for it. It has a personal application for me, because in the last 15 days I have experienced this Scripture.

I believe also this is a seasonal application because God specialises doing this in a season of His Vengeance, Isaiah 61, where He arises, and where He delivers as in Psalm 12.5, where He promises to arise. The implication is immediate.

I am sharing this with you to encourage you to reach out and make the Promise yours.

Please let us pray for each other that He comes and brings this preservation, this revival, this fulness of life in Divine Favour.

Shalom.
