The Psalmist cries out in Psalm 85:6 “Will you not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?” Habakkuk prays, “Ó Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.” From Bible times to now, […]
Life is a continual movement, always progressing. The law of all created life is growth and increase. Consequently, when we are saved, that new creation within us is destined to increase, always by becoming stronger in God.
