A few weeks ago, I think it was around three weeks ago, I sent out a letter to some friends asking them to pray for me and my family as we are making some changes in our lives that we know would send satan into frenzy and he would do all that he could to make our life, well..not fun.  Well I was right.  These last couple of weeks have has some very fun moments and yet we can see where satan is trying to push our buttons.  Since I have done so many studies on satan attacking those week spots in my life I am really learning to keep watch over those areas and calling for help when I see those areas being breached.  Although this is true, I still find myself "in a rut".  So about two days ago, I resolved to do another time of fasting and praying..of personal revival, to repent and seek the face of God and rest in His mighty presence.  Today I did a google search to find my usual resource for personal revivals and found this one.  It is a quote by Larry Lundstrom is his January 1998 newsletter...whoever that may be.  LOL...but it is part of an article or something from A. W. Tozer.  Anyway here is the link and here is what it say:

1) Get thoroughly dissatisfied with yourself. Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is a stagnant soul.

2) Set your face like a flint toward a sweeping transformation of your life.  Timid experiments are tagged for failure before they start. We must throw our whole soul into our desire for God.

3) Put yourself in the way of blessing. It’s a mistake to expect God’s help to come as a windfall apart from conditions known and met.  To desire revival, and at the same time to neglect prayer and devotion, is to wish one way and walk another.

4) Do a thorough job of repenting. Hasty repentance means a shallow spiritual experience. Let godly sorrow do her healing work. It is our wretched habit of toleration sin that keeps us in our half-dead condition.

5) Make restitution wherever possible. If you owe a debt pay it. If you have quarreled with anyone, go as far as you can to achieve reconciliation. As fully as possible, make the crooked straight.

6) Bring your life into accord with the Sermon on the Mount and other such New Testament Scriptures as are designed to instruct in the way of righteousness. An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what’s wrong with him quickly.

7) Be serious minded. The people of the world used to go to the movies to escape serious thinking about God and religion. There must be a radical change in  your habits, or there will not be any permanent improvement in your interior life.

8) Deliberately narrow your interests. Too many projects use up time and energy without bringing us nearer to God.  The mansions of the heart will become larger when the doors are thrown open to Christ and closed against the world and sin.

9) Begin to witness. Find something to do for God, and your fellowman. Make yourself available. Do anything you are asked to do. Learn to obey.

10) Have faith in God. Begin to expect. Look up toward the throne. All heaven is on your side. God will not disappoint you.

These suggestions constitute a formula for personal revival. When personal revival is experienced, there is no knowing how far it may spread. The Church is in desperate need of a spiritual resurrection and it can only come through the revived individual.
