When we look at the world's declining morality, escalating violence, economic trouble, decrease in popularity of the church, and increasing evil; do we wonder if God can fix it?
We who believe the Bible should stand up and cry out, "Jesus Can!", and He will when He comes again and sets up His Kingdom on earth.
God's Word predicts this end time chaos. My hope is in the Lord.
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled, rest with us; when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels.
Do you have that blessed hope? You can if you believe in Jesus. Ask Him to come into your heart and save you.

A Genuine Revival
As long as there have been people serving the Lord, people have been backsliding and then experiencing revival. If the Lord was to send us a genuine revival, how would we recognize it?
REDEDICATION: A return to the Word of God as the "final authority" -- God's people rededicating themselves to keep and honor its words.
REPENTANCE: Is there a disconnect between the way we live and what the Bible says? When we come clean, we can be made clean.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
REFORMATON: Genuine revival will move us toward holiness and godly living.
Return to the place where the Word of God is the rule and standard of our lives. Repent of our sins and make wrongs right. Now God will use us and bless us.

Have Faith In God
Biblical faith is a powerful weapon. Mountains yield to its power. Sin, Satan, and sorrow must bow before its authority. Faith is among the greatest of God's gifts to His children.
Faith has the remarkable ability to enable us to hold in our hands things that have yet to be seen, to hold in our hearts things that have yet to appear.
Answers to prayer come when we pray according to the will of God.
1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
When we pray "in Jesus' name" we are praying for His purpose and will to be fulfilled. Selfish prayers will not be answered.
God can strengthen your faith if you ask.
Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Seeing The Risen Savior
Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not afrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth which was crucified: he is risen: he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him as he said unto you.
Those women came to the tomb that morning expecting to see a dead body. They left with the promise from the angel that they would see Jesus alive.
We weren't there to see the Risen Lord in Galilee, but we have a promise that one day we'll see His face in all His glory.. We'll see Him in the clouds, and we'll see and worship Him around the throne. We'll see Him ruling this earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
When we see Him, we'll forever be reminded of the awful price He paid for us at Calvary, a Lamb as it had been slain, bearing the marks of His love for us.
