JOSIAH’S CORPORATE REVIVAL

2 KINGS 23                                         

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

Last week we saw Josiah’s personal revival. One of the evidences of personal revival is a desire to share that blessedness with others. Josiah has the evidence.

 

I. THE INGREDIENTS OF CORPORATE REVIVAL [v. 1-3]

 

1. Congregating with the People [v. 1-2a, Heb. 10:24-25]

 

2. Concentration on the Word [v. 2b]

 

3. Commitment to the Lord [v. 3]

 

II. THE PRACTICE OF REVIVAL [v. 4-23]

 

1. An Abandonment of Spiritual Deviation [v. 4-16, 19-20, 24]

 

2. An Acknowledgement of Spiritual Messages [v. 17-18, 1 Kings 13:31-32]

 

3. An Acceptance of Spiritual Worship [v. 21-23]

 

III. THE LIMITATIONS OF REVIVAL [v. 24-37]

 

1. God Honors His Man [v. 24-25, Ezekiel 14:14, 20]

 

2. God Holds to His Word [v. 26-30, 22:19-20] it does no good to sow wild oats and then pray for crop failure
