We have an Aspiration to be Revived and How We can Enter into a New Revival Today

Among God’s elect there has always been an aspiration to be revived; we can enter into the new revival by arriving at the highest peak of the divine revelation, the revelation of God’s eternal economy, that is, by God becoming man for man to become God in life and nature for God to be the divine-human Husband and we the human-divine wife as one couple – a great God-man! Wow!

Lord Jesus, revive us. We open to You to be revived. Revive Your works among the generations. We want to be revived today. Grant us a new beginning. May we enter into a new revival today by arriving at the highest peak of the divine revelation given to us by God! Amen, Lord, we open to You divine dispensing: work Yourself into us to make us the same as You are! May You gain the human-divine corporate bride to match You as the divine-human Husband to be a great God-man! Amen!

This week we come to a new book in our morning revival, based on the 2026 Memorial Day Blending Conference on the general subject of: The Great Need for a New Revival. This first week we want to see how we can be Cooperating with the Lord to Bring In a New Revival that will End this Age.

There is a great need for a new revival. This doesn’t mean that we need to have another great revival like the Welsh revival or some great move of God to save many and bring them to repentance; what God wants to gain today is a new revival, the reality of a new revival.

According to the divine revelation, the three main aspects of a new revival are arriving at the highest peak of the divine revelation, living a God-man life, and entering into the Lord’s shepherding through the vital groups in the God-ordained way to build up the Body of Christ in reality.

May we be those who live and serve according to the heavenly vision of the highest peak of God’s eternal economy today.

For us to be kept intrinsically in the Lord’s up-to-date recovery, we need to consecrate all that we are and have to the Lord for His present advance in His recovery.

We all need to be brought into a new revival that will change this age and bring the Lord back. May we open to the Lord regarding this.

May we open to Him and let Him revive us, not only morning by morning in our personal time with Him but even more, that we may enter into a new revival that will close this age and bring the Lord back.

Among God’s Elect there has Always been an Aspiration to be Revived: Lord, Revive us!

Throughout the generations among the elect of God, there has always been an aspiration to be revived (Hab. 3:2; Hosea 6:2; Rom. 8:20-22; Psa. 119:25, 50, 107, 154; John 6:57, 63; 2 Cor. 3:3, 6).

The matter of revival and being revived has very much been spoiled by degraded Christianity, so much so that, when someone thinks of being revived, they expect a great move of God outwardly with signs and wonders, etc. But within every seeker of God there is this aspiration.

In Habakkuk 3:2 the prayer of the prophet was, O Jehovah, revive Your work / In the midst of the years. Also, in Hosea 6:2, the prophet said, He will enliven us after two days; / On the third day He will raise us up, / And we will live in His presence.

Many times this is the prayer that rises up in us also, Lord, revive us! Lord, revive Your work! Lord, raise us up! Lord, we want to live in Your presence!

As long as we are saved ones, there is an aspiration in us for newness; there is an aspiration for revival in us regardless of our condition. When we are first regenerated, when we are saved, we become a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17).

The old things have passed away: behold, they have become new. We start with newness. Amen!

But many of us have to testify that, in our Christian journey, sometimes not long after that beginning, things happen; we go through certain experiences, and our freshness and newness are no longer present.

We may do something for the Lord, we may serve in the church life with zeal, we may preach the gospel, and we may read the Bible and have a time with the Lord in the morning.

But we may find at a later time that these things seem to be stale. How can this be? We may even be condemned that we do not keep the things as before and we do not exercise as we once we used to.

We may be faithful to the Lord for thirty years, but then we just grow cold and may even stop meeting with the saints. But within us, no matter where we are and what we do, there is an aspiration for revival.

We may know cases like these around us; some really good brothers and sisters who were so promising, but then they cooled down and even stopped meeting.

But within them there is an aspiration to be revived, and at one point they came back full of freshness and newness. Since the fall of man, there has been in all creation an aspiration to be revived.

There’s a groaning in all creation for revival. Even the unbelievers want revival. This is what everyone wants: something new, a change in things.

We may think that changing our environment will solve this or maybe moving to a different locality to meet with a different church will cause us to be revived.

Not sure if this will work, but we all have the aspiration to be revived. Christ is the reality of the third day, the reality of the new revival. The universal need for revival and restoration can be met only by Christ and in Christ.

Only Christ, who was resurrected on the third day, has the renewing power for the whole universe and for all mankind to be revived.

He is the reality of revival; with Him there’s the element of the revival for which all creation aspires. The corruption and desolation can be swallowed up only by Christ’s resurrection.

The way for us to experience revival is to contact Christ by repenting and confessing our sins, failures, and darkness, thereby entering into Him as the resurrection.

When we fall out of the freshness with the Lord, it is very possible that we are living just for our education, our career, our marriage, our family, a nice house, or things. Christ is the reality of revival.

May the Lord save us from walking in the vanity of our mind as the Gentiles do. May we open to Him and ask Him to revive us.

May we claim the third day; we may be in two days of desolation, but we can receive and enjoy the pneumatic Christ in resurrection, thus being revived.

Lord Jesus, we aspire to be revived. Thank You for regenerating us with Your new, living, fresh, divine life to make us a new creation. Hallelujah, all the things of the past are gone, and now we are a new creation in Christ! Praise the Lord, Christ is the source of newness! Amen, Lord, we turn to You. We come to You. We aspire to be revived. Revive us, Lord! Revive Your work in us. Revive the church. Grant us to have a new revival. Don’t allow us to continue in the way of desolation and staleness. We no longer want to remain in degradation. Oh Lord, revive us! We do not want to walk in the vanity of the mind as the people around us do; we aspire to be revived! We exercise our spirit to touch You. We want to enjoy and partake of Christ as the element of revival! Hallelujah, all corruption and desolation can be swallowed up by Christ’s resurrection! Amen, Lord, revive us and swallow up all staleness, degradation, and desolation! We repent and come to You. We confess our sins and our darkness. We turn to You. Revive us!

Enter into a New Revival by Arriving at the Highest Peak of the Divine Revelation: God becoming Man to make man God in Life and Nature for the Building up of the Body of Christ

The first way we can enter into a new revival is by arriving at the highest peak of the divine revelation given to us by God, which is the revelation of the eternal economy of God (1 Tim. 1:3-4; 1 Cor. 9:17; Acts 26:19, 22).

This is the great answer to the great question concerning God’s purpose in His creation of man and in His dealing with His chosen people (Gen. 1:26; Job 10:13; cf. Eph. 3:9).

Everything begins with a vision, a revelation; if we have the vision, we will be changed and our experience will follow.

We need to see a clear vision of God’s eternal economy and allow this vision to control our daily living.

May we be like little children, poor in spirit and pure in heart, freshly opening to the Lord with an aspiration to be revived, so that we may see the mystery hidden in God’s heart, His eternal economy (Eph. 1:10; 3:9; 1 Tim. 1:4).

God’s eternal economy is God’s eternal intention with His heart’s desire to dispense Himself in His Divine Trinity as the Father in the Son by the Spirit into His chosen people to be their life and nature that they may be the same as He is as His duplication (Rom. 8:29; 1 John 3:2) to become an organism, the Body of Christ as the new man (Eph. 2:15-16), for God’s fullness, God’s expression (1:22-23; 3:19), which will consummate in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2— 22:5).

He does this by means of His divine dispensing; His only goal in time is to dispense Himself into us to obtain a corporate expression of Himself.

God is not punishing us, nor does He desire that we suffer aimlessly and endlessly; He wants to work Himself into us. He wants to further His plan with us.

God becoming man that man might become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead for the producing and building up of the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem is the essence of the entire Bible, the “diamond” in the “box” of the Bible, the eternal economy of God (Gen. 1:26; John 12:24; Rom. 8:29).

We need to see this diamond, appreciate it, and be governed by a vision of God’s economy.

Christ came as the one grain of wheat, fell into the ground and died, and produced many grains who are exactly the same as Him, and these are ground and blended together to be the one bread, one Body of Christ.

He was broken for us, and He became a life-giving Spirit to come into us. We can eat Him, we can drink Him, and we can partake of Him.

He wants to make us the same as He is, so that when He is manifested, we will be like Him, for we will see Him even as He is (1 John 3:2).

We are sons of God; just as sheep beget sheep, men beget men, and dogs beget dogs, God begets God-men, men who are of God and who are becoming God. We will never have the status of the Father, but we will have His life and nature.

When we are at home or at work, we need to remember that we are God-men.

Would a God-man speak in this way to their spouse? Would a God-man treat the children in that way? Would a God-man speak that way at the store to the clerk just because they got something wrong?

May we never forget that we are God-men, men who are born of God and who are becoming God. God became man to partake of the human nature; He made Himself the same as we are to be the divine-human Saviour.

God became man through incarnation by participating in man’s humanity, and man becomes God in life and nature but not in the Godhead through transformation by participating in God’s divinity (John 1:14; 2 Cor. 3:18; Col. 3:4; 2 Pet. 1:4; Phil. 2:5; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 2:10; Eph. 1:5; Rom. 8:19; 1 John 3:2; John 1:12-13).

He became a lowly man with the intention to bring His humanity up to the level of His divinity.

Through the divine power in the Spirit of holiness, Jesus’ humanity was uplifted into the divine sonship, into divinity (Rom. 1:3-4). He was born of God as the firstborn Son of God (8:29), indicating that many sons would follow.

Now our Christ is God in the divine sense and man in the human sense – He is a God-man, even the Bridegroom in the divine, universal romance (John 3:29).

We still do not match Him, so we are also going through a process to be transformed and conformed to His image.

He first regenerates us to put divinity into us and then uplifts humanity to the standard of divinity. Then, He transforms us; the transformation of our soul takes time.

This divine-human romance is the subject of the entire Bible, the content of God’s economy, and the secret of the entire universe (S. S. 1:1; 6:13; cf. Hab. 1:1; 2:4; Rom. 1:17).

There is no higher calling than to be made God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. May we open to God’s dispensing today so that, just as Christ is divine and human, so we may be made human and divine to match Him in every possible way.

Christ is divine and human, and His transformed lover is human and divine; they are the same in life and nature, perfectly matching each other.

The Triune God consummated to be the Husband and the tripartite man transformed to be the bride are to be one couple, a corporate, great God-man (Rev. 21:2, 9; 22:17a).

Lord Jesus, we are here: dispense Yourself into us! We just open to You. We love You. Thank You for regenerating us with Your life to make us God-men, men who are born of God to have God’s life and nature and who are becoming God in life and nature but not in the Godhead. Dispense Yourself into us every step of the way today. We love You. Transform us into Your image. Make us the same as You are so that we may match You for our marriage life together! Thank You for loving us so much that You became a man to contact us in the way of romance. Hallelujah, God became a lowly man and brought His humanity up to the level of His divinity. Praise the Lord, Christ as a man was begotten by God to be the firstborn Son of God, and we as the many sons follow Him! Amen, Lord, keep us in the process of becoming God in life and nature but not in the Godhead, through transformation by participating in God’s divinity! Amen for this divine-human romance which is the content of God’s economy and the secret of the entire universe! We love You, Lord!
