A “Feeling of Revival”

Rosa’s Story

I have struggled so hard with my faith over the past year or more. I disconnected from friends and family for the past month or so, in that time I was able to realize what I was missing—God.

I've started to open my Bible a little more these past 2 weeks or so. I downloaded the bible app and have started a plan with my amazing friend, and one with my husband. I can feel the hunger for His word starting to take over. I just didn't realize how much until Sunday came along.

Yesterday was the most awakening day I have ever felt. I felt the message speaking to me loud and clear.  During prayer, I bowed my head, lifted my hands and prayed hard. As tears streamed down my face I prayed He would pour into my heart like never before. I prayed that He would pour into my marriage and my family. I prayed that He would help me heal from all the pain that my heart has been dealing with. As my prayer went on I could feel like my soul was draining, but not in a bad way. My arms got heavy and my legs felt weak. I felt him in that moment telling me, reminding me, "My daughter, I have never left you." “Wow,” is all I could say. I was in complete awe that for the first time in my life I could feel his warm fatherly embrace and reminder. No matter how hard I fell or tried to push Him away he, never left me.

After church I felt like I was in desperate need of sleep with just how draining (in a good way) it was on me. This morning (the next day) I woke up with such peace, a feeling of REVIVAL.
