Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Throughout the Bible we find that revival never came to a nation or an individual until they were broken. When a person is broken and contrite they are deeply conscious of the majesty of God. It is important to accept His sovereignty. He is God, we are not. He is the creator and we are the creation. He is right and if we are in contradiction to Him, we are wrong.
Many today are openly embracing lifestyles that the Bible, God's word says are sinful yet they want to enjoy the fellowship of the church and claim the blessings of God. It doesn't matter how popular or culturally accepted a practice is, that doesn't change what God's word says about it.
To try and mold God's attitude toward sin to conform to mans attitude is idolatry. We are trying to re-create the Creator in our image. There is no record of God reviving a nation that refused to turn from idolatry back to the True and living God. We must believe that He is God and that He is right.
