Is Your Heart on Fire? - Glen BerteauНамуна

The Cost of Revival

Revival is going to cost you something, and discipleship demands sacrifice. You will have to deny yourself. You will suffer persecution. Friends and family may turn their backs on you. You may get passed over for that promotion at work. But I am here to tell you, it’s going to be worth it all. Being a disciple of Christ is going to cost you, but the price you will pay is still an incredible bargain. And if it costs you everything, it is still a bargain!

God sent His Son Jesus to die so we could be saved. The least we can give back to Him is all of ourselves. We cannot be lukewarm. Not in this hour. We must be all in and on fire. That is the only way we are going to experience a personal revival and see a revival sweep our nation and the world.

How do you get to this place of being all in and on fire for God? How do you get to the place where He is at the top of your list? To be all in and on fire for God, you need to be aware of your enemy’s tactics. Do you think he wants you in right relationship with God? Do you think he wants you to experience revival? No! He has come to steal, kill and destroy. That is why you have to be aware of his tricks, the smoke, and mirrors he uses to deter you from the path that is getting you somewhere.

Every time you disobey the Lord, His voice will get a little bit softer and a little harder to hear. Eventually, you will not be able to hear it. If you have been walking in disobedience, I encourage you to repent and return to the place where you last heard His voice. Get realigned with God. Stop going to the places you know you should not go. Surrender your heart.

You cannot have a personal revival with a bad heart condition. You must have a heart that is soft and pure and able to receive all God wants to give you. If God has your heart, He will know—and you will know—that you are all in!
