As we examine our lives against the Ten Commandments of a Revived Life, it would seem easier to just try harder. But that is exactly what God doesn’t want us to do. He is calling us into a vibrant, intimate relationship with Him. If we will say yes to whatever He is calling us to, He will give us His yes and enable us to do what He is calling us to do. We simply have to fall more deeply in love with Him. The answer to dealing with sin is to love sin less and love Jesus more. As we do, He will pour out His blessing on us!

1. How to Change Your Life and Your Nation in Six Months
John Avant
In order to experience true change in our lives, we need to choose to be examples of God’s power. When we choose to allow His power instead of idols to fill our lives, oth- ers will see His example of love, faith, and hope in us. Change must begin in us. When our churches and lives are characterized by unceasing prayer, and by more concern for advancing the gospel of Christ than our own agendas, the world will step back and see that there’s a new King in town! During these difficult days, we must choose to walk in the joy of Jesus despite the suffering we are experiencing.

3. God Trusts You with the Most Important Assignment!
John Avant
God loves us! He approves of us and has entrusted His grace and peace to us to share with the lost world. But He will allow testing in our lives in order to refine us and remove all impurities out of our hearts. He wants us to be able to say no to the Safe Life. The cross is not a safe place. He also wants us to say no to the Cynical Life and to the Self Life. When we choose to say no in these three areas, we will fall in love with lost people. We will join Him in His mission. It is time to stop slow dancing to the demonic lullaby and choose to say yes to Him.
