Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Turn to God with trust and faith in His plan.

October 17, 2023

Good morning, brothers and sisters! I have a story to tell you. A friend and I struck up a conversation with a customer in my resale store. This man told us about a time in his life when he was really struggling, and he felt like he didn't know which way to turn. He told me that he found hope and direction by turning to the Bible and exploring the story of King Asa.


Today, I want to talk to you about religious revival under Asa. Asa was an extraordinary king who obeyed the prophet. He was a man of great faith and courage who showed us what it means to follow God's will with deep conviction.

First, let's explore the power of obedience. Asa was a great example of what it means to obey God's commands without hesitation. He was willing to take risks, make difficult decisions, and put his trust in God even when it seemed impossible. We can learn from Asa's example that true obedience comes from a deep trust in God's plan and a willingness to go against the grain.

Second, let's consider the importance of humility. Asa knew that he was not invincible, and he humbly accepted the challenge of leading his people with integrity. He was humble enough to recognize his shortcomings and accept advice from the prophet. We can learn from Asa that humility is essential for true success. As we strive for revival, we must remain humble and open to correction.

Finally, let's explore the power of forgiveness. Asa was quick to forgive those who wronged him and showed great mercy even in the face of his enemies. He ultimately chose to forgive rather than to seek vengeance. We can learn from Asa that forgiveness is essential for true revival. When we choose to forgive, we open ourselves up to a new level of spiritual transformation.

In conclusion, let me leave you with this: "Revival comes through obedience, humility, and forgiveness." As we strive for spiritual revival, let us remember the example of King Asa and turn to God with trust and faith in His plan. Thank you and God bless!
