đź“– Habakkuk 3:2 (NKJV)
“O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy.”
Has Christianity become a badge more than a burden, a label more than a lifestyle? In this message, Pastor Andrew Eldridge calls the Church to return to holy hunger—from spectating to participating, from routine to encounter, from lukewarm to revived.
This isn’t a plea for a new program. It’s the prophetic prayer of Habakkuk: “Lord, revive Your work.” Not something new—breathe on what already belongs to You. Revive Your people. Revive Your Church. Make Yourself known again in the midst of these years.
What You’ll Hear
Why revival starts in the sanctuary of the heart (Psalm 63:1–2) — not just attending, but encountering.
The danger of lukewarm religion and the call to be doers of the Word, not hearers only.
Context of Habakkuk 3: a nation grown cold, a prophet gripped with reverence, a prayer for mercy.
Three Calls of Revival:
Reawaken Our Ears — Tremble at His Word again (Prov. 1:7; Isa. 66:2; Rev. 2:7).
Recenter Our Priorities — “Make it known” in our generation (Matt. 6:33; Jas. 4:8).
Remember His Mercy — Judgment is real, but mercy bridges us back (Lam. 3:22–23; Ps. 85:6–7; Ezek. 37).
Faith that God remembers — He rewards those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6).
A pastoral, heartfelt charge: true appreciation isn’t applause or events—it’s a life on fire for God.
Key Scriptures (NKJV)
Habakkuk 3:2; Psalm 63:1–11; Psalm 34:3; James 1:22; Revelation 3:2; Haggai 1:5; Ephesians 2:10; Proverbs 1:7; Isaiah 66:2; Revelation 2:7; Matthew 6:33; James 4:8; Lamentations 3:22–23; Psalm 85:6–7; Ezekiel 37:10; Hebrews 11:6.
Big Idea
We’re not asking God to start something new—we’re asking Him to breathe again on what’s already His: our hearts, our homes, our habits, and His house. When He makes Himself known again, the weary are refreshed, the divided are united, and what was lifeless lives again.
