Do You Need to be Revived?

Do you need to be Revived?

Ezra and Nehemiah were called by God to get Israel to come back to Him. Ezra served as a priest for God and Nehemiah became Governor of Jerusalem. These men revived the people and caused a renewed commitment to the Lord.
Do you need to be revived?
Nehemiah 8:2 Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. He read it aloud from daybreak till noon…And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law
Nehemiah 8:6 Ezra praised the Lord, the great God: and all the people lifted their hands and responded. Amen! Amen! Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.
Ezra’s ministry of the word of God had a profound effect on the people and they responded quickly in reverence and true worship. The people continued for 7 days listening to Ezra read God's word and they were moved to confess their sins and make a binding agreement to never again turn away from God's commands, regulations, and decrees.
.
Have you gotten away from following His Word? Maybe you have never followed and this is all new knowledge for you. We pray you will keep visiting this community. More importantly we pray you will develop a love for God’s word and desire to have this conversation with Him on your own.
Ladies-a heart bent towards walking with God takes pleasure in listening to His instructions and abiding in His word day and night. I hope this word encourages you to turn to Him and let Him revive you too.
Father just as you used Ezra and Nehemiah to bring your people back to you I pray this community is serving the same purpose. I pray we become a distinguishable group of Coaches’ Wives in our sports world. I pray every lady in this room will agree to obey Your law, Your commands, and Your ways. Father may our hearts turn towards You and may we walk with You daily listening to your instructions. In Jesus Name, Amen
