Igniting Revival In You Life by Doug Addison

Igniting Revival in Your Life God is bringing a new movement to the earth and many prophets, including myself, are saying this is going to be the biggest revival in history! But before we can see a revival of this magnitude in the world, we need to experience a personal revival in our own lives. It starts by overcoming the things that have overcome us. If you have felt held down or held back, it's time for breakthrough in your own life! 1. Transform Your Thoughts to Transform Your Life Negative forces want you to believe bad things about yourself, such as: "I'm depressed. I'm worthless. I can't change. I'm stupid. I'm ugly. I'm such a failure"...the list could go on and on. But your negative thoughts are not who you really are. It is important to realize that your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are situational and can be changed. "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he..." (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV) Many of the thoughts and behaviors we battle daily have a root cause—something we have done, knowingly or unknowingly, or things that were done to us. Healing these emotional wounds can be a process, but there are new approaches that can dramatically cut down your healing and recovery time. If you commit yourself to the process, you can overcome them. It is part of your destiny to find healing and live a life of fullness. 2. Move from Judging Others into Blessing Others Sometimes judging others can hold us back from experiencing the breakthrough and personal revival we need in our lives. As we move from judging into blessing, we open the heavens over our lives to receive a full measure of revelation. This lifestyle enables you to hear God accurately and consistently. It is a strategy God has given me, and over the years I have lived this lifestyle of blessing and love. Check your own words as you go about your day. If you mess up, recognize it quickly and move on. We get lots of chances to start over and do it right the next time. Ask God to bless your mouth and to help you speak only life-giving words. Here's a prayer that I use: "If my tongue has cursed me, knowingly or unknowingly, I ask forgiveness." 3. Believe God Wants to Bless You with More than You can Imagine God has called you to something, even if it seems like your life has been exactly the opposite. In order for you to understand what God has called you to, you first have to believe that God wants to visit you. He wants to bring His loving presence and He wants to encourage you. The key to all of this is to not get disappointed or feel like you're less thanbecause God didn't move in your life the way you expected Him to. 4. Don't Get Discouraged! Release any expectations of what might happen or should happen. It would be good to renounce anything in the past that has wounded you. It's so important to clear the air right now. 5. Repent of any Unforgiveness You Have Towards Others If you do this, you're going to clear the spiritual atmosphere and be more able to hear God's voice clearly. We're going to see great things happen over the next few months. Get your hopes up! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.) Doug Addison InLight Connection
