Horizon Church August Bible Reading Plan: Consecration - 14 Days of Prayer & FastingSample

Personal Revival | Ps Alex Peters

Revival begins within each of us—a deep, personal awakening to God’s presence and power. It is a time to rekindle our passion for Him, to repent of anything that hinders our relationship with Him, and to surrender fully to Him.

Over these 14 days, we are setting aside distractions and busyness, carving out moments of intimacy with God. Let us open our hearts to His conviction, His healing and His direction for our lives. May we echo the Psalmist's plea: "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me" Psalm 51:10.

In 2 Chronicles 7:14, we find a powerful invitation from God, "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face…" Humbling ourselves before God means recognizing our dependence on Him and our need for His grace. It is an acknowledgment that we cannot navigate life on our own and that we need His guidance and strength. Prayer is our way of connecting with God, releasing to Him our heart's desires, and seeking His will over our own. When we seek His face, we prioritise His presence above all else, longing for a deeper relationship with Him.

As we individually experience revival, our gatherings become all the more powerful. Personal revival not only deepens our walk with God but also ignites a collective passion that permeates our church, our community, and beyond.

Revival starts with each one of us seeking and encountering Jesus personally. Set time aside this week, daily, to seek Him in a fresh way and to stir something deep inside of you for what He wants to do in your life, and your family’s life, over conference.

Prayer Focus:

• Spend time in worship, focusing your attention on Jesus
• Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas of your heart that have become hardened, burdened or wounded, and allow His presence and His word to minister to you
• Ask God what personal revival looks like for you and your loved ones
