What This Sermon Covers
From Psalm 85:1–13, the message presents a clear revival prayer pattern. First, it teaches believers to look back and plead, “Lord, do it again,” remembering God’s favor, forgiveness, and mercy. Second, it calls the church to ask, “Lord, speak to our hearts,” because revival starts inside, not on the surface. Third, it urges God’s people to pray for burdens that match God’s heart, for truth, for mercy, and for lost souls. The sermon also presses the need to draw near to God through faithful devotion, then to pray, “Lord, go before me,” trusting the Lord to prepare hearts and make a way for Gospel work. The message closes with a direct invitation for the lost to come to Christ, and a call for believers to respond in prayer and obedience so the Lord might revive His people again.
