The Blueprint for Revival

June 29, 2025

King Josiah’s story in 2 Chronicles 34 demonstrates how personal repentance can ignite widespread revival. Despite becoming king at just eight years old and inheriting a nation steeped in idolatry, Josiah chose to follow God wholeheartedly. By age 16, he was personally pursuing the Lord, and by 20, he was implementing nationwide reforms. His example teaches us that revival always begins internally before manifesting externally, and that obstacles like age, family background, cultural bitterness, or focus on immediate results shouldn’t prevent us from seeking God. To cultivate hearts ready for revival, we must prioritize God’s purposes, stand firm on His unchanging principles, and approach our broken world with genuine humility.
