Humility Must Come Before Revival

“Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side.”

PONDER THIS

If we want revival, we first need two things: humility and holiness.

We need to first humble ourselves before God. Many of us sit in church high-minded, unbent, unbroken, and somehow thinking we’re doing God a service or favor by being here. In our churches, we talk about our buildings, programs, music, preaching, teaching, and all of that, but it does no good without a brokenness before God. We need to have humility in our hearts.

We also need to embrace holiness. In Ezekiel, the river flows from under the threshold and past the altar (v. 1). The altar was the place where the blood was shed—the place for the sacrifice of sin, the place of cleansing. There can never be any true revival when God’s people have unconfessed, unrepented sin in their hearts and in their lives. There can never be true revival until we repent. Not everybody will be attracted by your life if you’re filled with the Spirit, but I will guarantee you that if you get on fire for Jesus Christ—if a humble, holy flow of living water runs through you and flows down into the depressed, dry, and deadly places of your own heart—others will see the work of God in you.

  • When was the last time you humbled yourself before God?
  • What are you struggling with that you need to bring before God in humility?

PRACTICE THIS

With a humble heart, bring before God the things with which you are struggling.
