Listen Later

Episode Summary:
In this episode, Tola continues discussing Revival with a focus on recognizing why you need God’s help. Reflecting on Psalm 40:2, "He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings," Tola delves into the concept of destruction—both physical and emotional—and its effects on our lives. She reminds listeners that no matter how broken or beyond repair a situation may feel, God is able to restore, repair, and revive.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding Destruction:

    • Destruction can manifest in various forms—emotional, physical, financial, or relational—and aims to make us feel beyond repair.
    • Synonyms like demolition, dismantling, and shattering highlight the devastating impact of destruction.

    • The Goal of Destruction:

      • Destruction seeks to convince you that restoration is impossible.
      • It aims to leave you feeling stuck, hopeless, and unable to move forward.

      • The Promise of Revival:

        • Psalm 40:2 promises that God lifts us out of destruction and sets us on solid ground.
        • Revival is here—spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial. God can rebuild what was thought to be lost forever.

        • Examples of God’s Power:

          • The Bible reminds us of Jesus’ ability to heal the blind, the lame, and the sick.
          • The saying, “What God cannot do does not exist,” reinforces that no situation is beyond His power.

            • Reflection Questions:

            1. Are there areas in your life where destruction has made you feel hopeless or beyond repair?
            2. How can you trust God to bring revival to those areas?

              3. Practical Application:

              • Reflect on Psalm 40:1-2 and pray for God’s restoration in the areas where you feel broken.
              • Identify specific areas—emotional, financial, physical, or spiritual—where you need revival and bring them before God.
              • Meditate on God’s promise to repair and re-establish what has been damaged or lost.

                • Closing Encouragement:
                Destruction may aim to make you feel stuck and beyond repair, but God specializes in restoration and revival. No matter how grim your situation may seem, trust that God can lift you out of the pit, establish your steps, and restore what was lost. Revival is here—believe it, receive it, and let God’s restoration begin in your life.
