Romans 8:11 (KJV) ~ “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
The journey of revival doesn’t end with seeing something come back to life, it continues with the bold decision to walk in the newness of life. On Tuesday you were asked to remember that God is the Reviver of all dead things, even when the situation seems final. And on yesterday, you were reminded that it’s never too late when God is the One speaking to the bones. Now, today, God is calling you to live again, not just breathe, but to walk fully in the power of resurrection life that is available to every believer through the Holy Spirit!
There’s a difference between being revived and actually living again. Many have moments of refreshing but never step into their next assignment, because they fear returning to what once hurt them or feel unworthy to carry what God is resurrecting. But Paul reminds us in Romans 8:11 that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us. That means revival is not a one-time event, it is a lifestyle sustained by resurrection power.
After Elijah revived the widow’s son (1 Kings 17), the boy wasn’t meant to just return to the same routines, he was meant to live differently as evidence of God’s power. The same happened with the Shunammite woman’s son (2 Kings 4). These were not only personal miracles, but they also became generational markers of what God could do. The story didn’t end with the child sneezing, it began there.
Revival is not only for your benefit but also for those who will hear your testimony. When God revived the dry bones in Ezekiel 37, it wasn’t just about animation, it was about mobilization. Verse 10 says, “and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.” God’s plan was not just to give the bones breath, but to equip and raise up an army. Revival must move you into position. It demands action on your part!
God didn’t breathe into you for you to sit still, He breathed so you could stand, move, speak, build, serve, restore, and conquer. Stepping into revival also means shedding the garments of your past. Lazarus came out of the tomb alive but still bound in grave clothes. Jesus said, “Loose him, and let him go” (John 11:44). You can be breathing but still bound. You can be revived but not yet released. On this day, your invitation is to not only rise from what buried you, but to shed what used to define you. The grave is no longer your home, and mourning is no longer your mantle!
Isaiah 60:1 commands: “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” That’s what revival looks like, rising and shining in the glory that now dwells upon you. This is your “live again” moment. It is not enough to just remember what God said or feel His breath once, you must now rise, speak, and walk in the fullness of who He has called you to be.
Every miracle up to this point, every revival in the widow’s home, in the upper room, in the valley of dry bones, was pointing you toward this moment. Not just to tell you God can do it again, but to remind you that He already has. You are standing in the evidence of answered prayer! You are breathing because God declared you shall live! So walk boldly! Hope fiercely! Love deeply! Live again!
Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You for the breath that has returned, the strength that is rising, and the Spirit that now dwells within me. I’ve walked through seasons of dryness, death, and delay, but You have proven Yourself faithful. You revived me when I didn’t think I would recover. You spoke life to places I gave up on. And now, Lord, I surrender to the call to live again, not just exist, but to walk with purpose, power, and passion. Father, breathe on me again today, not just to sustain me, but to send me. Let me walk in resurrection power. Help me to shed the grave clothes of yesterday, fear, shame, regret, and silence. Break every chain that still lingers from my tomb. Let Your Spirit quicken every place that still hesitates to move. I declare that I am not the same. The old is gone. The breath of heaven has marked me. Father, I receive the assignment that comes with revival. Like the bones that became an army, raise me up to stand, to serve, and to speak Your word. Let my testimony awaken others. Let my walk reflect Your glory. Let revival not be a moment I remember, but a mantle I carry. I will live again. I will love again. I will believe again. I will rise and shine, because Your glory is upon me. Thank You, Jesus, for calling me out of the tomb. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for dwelling in me with power. Thank You, Father, for loving me back to life. I declare today that this is not the end, it’s a new beginning. I will never be the same. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Blessings…
Love, Dr. Jean
