Don’t be surprised that when you make steps for personal revival it bothers or even angers others. Some were grieved exceedingly the Bible tells us that Nehemiah had come to seek the welfare of the people, to bring them back to God, to bring revival to Jerusalem. Why? The children of Israel being more spiritual would not hurt them, if anything it would help them, bring the blessings of God upon the city and all that wee in it. Why should it bother them? It shouldn’t, but it did and it will bother others if you make decisions and then follow through with them to be closer to the Lord, to walk with Him, to serve Him, to be revived. Why? Because Satan would hinder all that God would do. Christian, we do need revival, we do need to make and keep decisions that bring revival, and then we need be ready for the fight to follow. It should come as no surprise if those who oppose are also those who claim to know Jesus.
