John 11:1-4 NASB
1 Now a certain man was sick: Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.2 And it was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.3 So the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”4 But when Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness is not meant for death, but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”

How do we REVIVE Faith
1) Don’t allow what you see to define what you believe
John 4:21-22 NASB
21 Jesus *said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.
2) Don’t allow what you know to limit what He can do
John 4:23-24 NASB
23 But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
3) Don’t allow people to change your belief
John 4:38-40 NASB
38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have come into their labor.”39 Now from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.”40 So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
