TeaTime Devotional May 7th, 2025

Written By: Jean Johnson

Scripture:   2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Testimony:

I am here today feeling a mighty revival in my soul! Happy Birthday to me! I humble myself daily, praising and honoring God in every part of my life. During trials, I hold onto a scripture reminding me to avoid anything unaligned with Christ's teachings. I made sacrifices, leaving behind paths that led me away from His righteousness. By seeking God wholeheartedly, I found new strength and purpose. I can testify that God hears and responds incredibly when I pray. I've seen Him heal and restore what was broken in me. His grace and mercy are truly boundless. My journey shows that humility and prayer can transform anyone's life, bringing healing and peace to our souls.

Edify:

I want to share a message of hope and revival with you today in 2 Chronicles 7:14; this promise calls for revival and a renewal of our hearts and spirits. Revival starts within us when we choose to humble ourselves, seek God earnestly, and turn away from things that lead us astray. It's about finding new life and purpose and aligning ourselves with His teachings. When we do this, we invite God to work powerfully in our lives, healing our wounds and restoring our joy. Know that as you seek revival, God is listening. He hears every prayer and sees every effort you make to draw closer to Him. Trust that His grace and mercy is endless, and He is ready to bring healing and transformation into your life.

Apply:

Acknowledging our limitations and imperfections can spark a personal revival, opening our hearts to welcome God's powerful presence. Commit to daily prayer and reflection as a sacred ritual to seek God’s guidance, share your gratitude, and bring your concerns to Him. Assess the areas in your life that may deviate from Christ’s teachings and consciously turn away from them, pursuing a path that fosters spiritual growth and peace. Engaging with a community of others on a spiritual journey can enrich this revival. Exercise patience with yourself, valuing progress over perfection, and trust that God guides your revival journey, even when gradual transformations seem distant. Always remember, God is eager to guide you and revive your spirit when approached with sincere faith and humility.
