Jesus: He Who is Holy and True
These things says He who is holy, He who is true.
Jesus is called “He who is holy” (Revelation 3:7). Great revivals in past centuries began when believers saw God’s holiness. It was then that believers saw their sinfulness and cried out in repentance, seeking God’s forgiveness. Revival is when God visits His people. It happens because God said, “I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh” (Acts 2:17). Revival starts with God’s holiness and grows when people experience His presence in their lives. Do you want revival?
Lord, I yearn for Your presence in my life. I want to feel Your atmospheric presence in the Church. Do for me what you did in the Early Church.
Jesus is also called “He who is true” (Revelation 3:7). True revival begins when you look at your life through God’s truthfulness. No one is holy in comparison with God; everything pales in comparison to His truth. Jesus is He Who Is Holy and True. Jesus said to the Church, “See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it” (Revelation 3:8). The door of opportunity is always open to God’s people. We must look through the door to see the Lord’s holiness, which is the first step of revival. Then we must act on the truthfulness of His promise. That’s when His presence is poured out on us.
Lord, I want true godliness in my life; keep me from false spirituality. I want to serve You effectively; don’t let my ignorant sin hold back Your blessings. Lord, send revival to Your Church, starting with me. Amen.
Jesus wants us to be holy and truthful.
