John 11:1–5 (CSB)
Now a man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, and it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.
So the sisters sent a message to him: “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
When Jesus heard it, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister, and Lazarus.
Tell Story of movie scene
Fight club clerk close to death When he realized he was dead, he wanted to live again.
In his heart he was thoroughly convinced, he was going to die right there.
When he was given a peek at death.
When he felt the cold touch of death.
When he smelt the stench of death he wanted nothing more but to live
(Evidence of minds changed at last minutes) Tire marks, etc…
When most people are faced with death
they want life.
Not long ago I had the privilege of seeing another person I prayed for receive the Lord.
I received a call from his sister thanking me for helping her brother receive life in Christ.
(I didn’t do anything it was the example her and her sister showed because he smelled the fragrance of life in them).
2 Corinthians 2:16 (CSB)
To some we are an aroma of death leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life leading to life.
Who is adequate for these things?
He could simply tell that he smelled different than they did and he wanted to live Amen
Explain why character did this to the clerk.
From now on (flowers & pancakes etc.)
It’s true, isn’t it?
If I convinced you, you were going to die.
Then I gave you life, you’d be ecstatic.
Thats how Jesus wants you to live everyday, “Ecstatic.”
Knowing that you were dead in your sins, but now through Him, You Live!
I knew a pastor who confided in me
He had hepatitis C. So, he had made all his plans to die early.
After being healed by Holy Spirit, he told me
“Lupé now I have to make plans for my future.”
Praise God.
So, what’s this got to do with us Pastor?
Well, we were all dead in here.
But, now we are alive in Christ Jesus, so let’s start making plans for our future.
Not only us in here but our city, state, and country as well, We are all in need of a revival of our faith.
In Christian circles, we have all heard this word thrown around a time or two.
“Revival”
What is a Revival
if not to revive something that has died or stagnated is someway?
Its like defibrillator.
When a heart stops, they give it a jolt of electricity to start it up again.
So, you may hear some shocking things tonight designed to shock you back into life Amen!
If not, they wouldn’t call these events Revivals.
Why Do we need a Revival?
Because, we have forgotten the one who formed us from the dust of the ground, and from His nostrils breathed into us, Our first breath of life!
Now, in the past we have heard the gospel from many fine pastors and men of God pleading with those who haven’t yet received Jesus.
Tonight, I am talking to YOU, the “believers,” As well as anyone here who has not yet been washed by His blood.
Every one of you here tonight are believers because someone, somewhere prayed for you.
You didn’t do this on your own.
It’s not yours to glory over.
This life belongs to Jesus Amen!
This life is not your own but was bought with a price
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (CSB)
...
You are not your own, for you were bought at a price.
So glorify God with your body.
We not only need to Revive our hearts
but Re-ignite the fire in us that naturally wants burn for Jesus
What do we do Pastor, Where do we start?
The same way we all got here.
You start by praying for someone who is still dead in sin.
We all know people who aren’t saved.
Start praying for them.
Invite them to church.
Uncles, cousins, brothers sisters Etc.
Even your enemies.
Let’s leave the new life part to Jesus.
He’ll do the same for them as He did for us.
We find that in John 11:8-10
John 11:8–10 (CSB)
“Rabbi,” the disciples told him, “just now the Jews tried to stone you, and you’re going there again?”
“Aren’t there twelve hours in a day?” Jesus answered.
“If anyone walks during the day, he doesn’t stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
But if anyone walks during the night, he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
We see here that Jesus expects us to go back even for our enemies, or people that have wronged you.
They did you wrong because they are walking in darkness.
Invite them to learn from the light.
We get this lesson because of the request
Mary made to Jesus to come because her brother was sick and dying.
Let’s read from verses 11:35-11:44
But we read earlier that Jesus purposely waited until Lazarus her brother was dead.
Why?
Because Jesus wanted to show everyone, including us, that through Him, that which was dead, can live again.
But, when Jesus arrived to the tomb where they had laid Lazarus, dead.
We find the shortest verse in the Bible
John 11:35 (CSB)
Jesus wept.
There are several steps I want to point out to you here.
1. Moved with compassion, He wept because Lazarus was without life.
When you pray for people who are dead, Jesus weeps with you for them.
He wants them to have life too
He died for them as well
2.
John 11:39 (CSB)
“Remove the stone,” Jesus said.
Martha, the dead man’s sister, told him, “Lord, there is already a stench because he has been dead four days.”
Next he said remove the stone,
You see before a person can come out from their tomb, he has to remove the stumbling blocks from before them, so that they can get to Him,
Whatever the stone is that is blocking the path to salvation.
