Are You Thirsty for Revival? - Love Worth Finding - November 5

November 5, 2024 – Are You Thirsty for Revival?
John 7:37-38
Sermon: 2475 Rivers of Revival, Part 1

Pray Over This

“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
John 7:37-38

Ponder This

Jesus said, in effect, “Look, are you thirsty? Come to Me and drink, and out of you a river of power, grace, and joy will begin to flow.” Is a river of love and power flowing out of you? Everywhere you go, are you a blessing to those around you? If you are in Christ, the Lord is flowing through you. Does that characterize your life today?

If it does not yet, consider Jesus’ words again: “If anyone thirsts” was the preface to His statement about being filled. You have to be thirsty. That’s the problem. You say, “Well, Pastor, I know I’m empty.” But empty and thirsty are two different things. Do you have a burning, blistering thirst for God? Or are you so filled with the stagnant waters of self-love, carnality, entertainment, and materialism that you’re not thirsting for the living God?

You have all of God you want. If you don’t have more of God, it’s because you don’t want more of God. What did Jesus say? “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). It’s not our job to persuade God to send revival but to permit Him to do so—to be thirsty.

• What does it look like to be thirsty for God?
• When have you felt a thirst for God? How did that play out in your life?

Practice This

Pray for God to renew and grow your thirst for Him.
