Allow me to share my personal perspective on what renewal means to me. I understand deeply that our human efforts alone cannot bring about true rebirth or spiritual revival. The Spirit holds ultimate authority over us; we are not in control of His actions or timing, but rather we are subject to His divine will. This realization highlights the humility we must maintain in our pursuit of renewal. Yet, it’s important to acknowledge that there are many different ways people interpret revival or spiritual awakening. These interpretations can vary widely based on individual beliefs, traditions, and experiences. Despite these differences, we must recognize that whenever we experience a true revival, it is ultimately rooted in the recognition of God's magnificence. It’s about gazing upon the radiant light of God's glory that shines throughout the universe, illuminating all creation. This divine light of His splendor reflects in our faces through the face of Jesus Christ, filling us with a profound sense of awe and a kind of certainty that surpasses mere understanding. This sense of wonder is an inexplicable feeling—a certainty that cannot be fully articulated rationally—like being led along a path by something so divine and beautiful that it awakens our spirits and frees us from doubt and fear. Throughout my life, I have encountered this experience repeatedly. Personally, I find that praising God through the chanting of the Psalms is a powerful way to connect with Him. It’s not just an act of worship; it’s a continuous dialogue that I engage in throughout the day. This practice brings with it a tangible aftermath—an inner sense of my heart expanding as God’s love is poured into me through these sacred words. I also experience a profound sense of power descending upon me, a divine strength that sustains and energizes my spirit. Alongside this, there is a feeling of assurance—an unshakable confidence that I find difficult to put into words. These spiritual encounters have occurred in both times of hardship and times when blessings from God have overwhelmed me beyond what I could have expected or imagined. Interestingly, the experiences themselves do not change based on circumstances; rather, they are strengthened by a heightened desire and fervor to receive more of God's blessings. I believe that God encourages my pursuit of Him by baptizing me with a sense of wonder—an awe that can last for hours or even stretch across multiple days. This divine wonder acts as a catalyst, compelling me to seek Him more intensely. During moments of renewal, I often feel an urgent, almost desperate longing—an intensity that cannot be fully described in words. It’s as if I am driven by a compelling vision of a special blessing that I am both yearning for and believing will be delivered to me. Amidst this flux of experiences, there remains a constant feeling of being immersed in awe and adoration—an overwhelming sense of divine presence that surrounds and sustains me. This ongoing immersion in wonder fuels my faith, keeps my heart open, and continually draws me closer to the divine mystery that is God's renewing power.
