My 1 Year Revival 🔥 Lesson 3
Lesson 3 — Be Listening (Hearing God in His Word)
Texts: 2 Timothy 3:14–17; Psalm 119; James 1:21–25; Hebrews 4:12
Principle: The Bible is God’s breathed-out Word—sufficient, living, and authoritative.
Precept: Read, meditate, memorize, and obey Scripture daily.
Cohesive Overview:
Many voices compete for our attention—the world, the flesh, the devil (Eph. 2:1–3). Revival people train their ears to the voice of Scripture. The Word is profitable for doctrine (what is right), reproof (what is not right), correction (how to get right), and training in righteousness (how to stay right). It searches motives, exposes lies, and supplies wisdom; it is living and active (Heb. 4:12).
Listening involves more than scanning lines. It means receiving the Word with meekness, retaining it through meditation and memorization, and responding with faith and obedience. Build a rhythm: Read (a portion daily), Speak (pray it back), Listen (what is God saying?), Hide (memorize a verse), Study (ask who/what/why/how), Apply (one step today). As prayer is talking to God, Scripture is God talking to you; together they braid a strong cord.
The enemy will try to substitute familiarity for obedience or emotion for endurance. Resist by doing the next right thing you read. Small daily obediences shape large lifelong outcomes. Your aim is not to master the text but to be mastered by the Author. When Scripture saturates mind and mouth, your counsel, comfort, and conduct align with Christ.
Keys of Submission:
Meekness — a yielded heart.
Meditation — slow down; turn truth over.
Memorization — keep it near for battle.
Moment-by-Moment Obedience — do what you know now.
Mutual Edification — share what God said with someone today.
Practice This Week:
Read Psalm 119:1–16 daily; memorize vv. 9–11.
Use the S.O.A.P. method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer) on one passage.
Text one verse each day to encourage someone.
Declaration: “I receive, retain, and respond to God’s Word; I am a doer, not a hearer only.”
