Today we are taking the next step to it which is receiving personal revival through joy. This is the version of obtaining Personal Awakening through Joy. It is an improvement in a present condition. How do you always become awakened by been happy. The message is divided into two subheadings: Why do we need personal revival, it is to keep us going. 1st Kings 19:1-8.

(1). Good treasure in every life event: Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, who are the called according to his purpose". 2nd Timothy1:9 ... "God hath called us not according to our works but his own purpose which was given us in Christ Jesus." There is a good treasure in all that happens to a believer who walks according to God's purpose. We have a high calling and apostle Paul emphasize.1st Timothy 1:1 "Paul an apostle by the will of God" Hebrews 3:1. 1st Corinthians 1:1 "Paul called to be apostle". Do you understand your calling in all tribulation?

(2) Giving thanks the hallmark of personal revival: 1 Thessalonians 5:18, In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Psalms 34:1, I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Paul recognized this and to every church or individual he wrote his epistle to, he will share his portion of thanks fellowship.

Romans 1:8 "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world". Here, Paul is giving thanks for their faith being spoken of. 1 Corinthians 1:4; "I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ";

2 Corinthians 3:1-12 says "Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech".
