FAITH CAPSULE: Jacob received the testimony to become revived.

1Kings 17

Regardless of age, status, or title, there will always be ups and downs. 
In the place of ups or downs, situations will demand to be revived, not become a failure, or experience untimely termination. 
To become revived is to experience renewal with strength, to become energized, to be active, and not be denied to live life to the glory of God.
In life, to become revived by God will enhance one physically, spiritually, and emotionally. 
With the desire to become revived, the psalmist asked God, “Revive me according to Your lovingkindness, So that I may keep the testimony of Your mouth.” (Psalm 119:88) 
With the desire, ask God to revive you just as the psalmist did.
The lovingkindness of God is His considerate, caring love and mercy that endures forever.
The desire to keep the testimony of God testifies to the understanding that one knows the blessing of keeping the testimony of God. Psalm 119:2 informs, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!” 
The testimony of God is His proof, His demonstrations, His evidence encased in His word. 
One who seeks the word of God will excel to the glory of God. 
The key to it all is to become REVIVED by GOD. 
Is it your desire to be revived by God?
One that is revived by God (not by determination) will be able to keep the
testimony of God and be blessed. 
With the testimony of God, the blessing will become revived to RECOVERED, RESTORED, REPAIRED, REGAIN, AND BE REJOICED.
ASK FROM GOD TO REVIVE YOU TO BE RECOVERED. 
Jacob received the testimony to become revived by the report that Joseph was alive. As a result, Jacob recovered and went to meet with Joseph. (Genesis 46)
Pray that God will provoke a means to revive you, that you will recover to gain all the goodness of God separated from you by the wickedness of this world.
ASK FROM GOD TO REVIVE YOU TO BE RESTORED. 
Samson became revived to restore the position of miracle, not of mockery over his enemies. (Judges 16)
Pray that God will strengthen you to become restored in a position of increase to deny every mockery over your life.
ASK FROM GOD TO REVIVE YOU, TO BE REPAIRED. 
Desire to become repaired, answering as a temple of God.
Pray that God will revive you to become repaired in every area of life, as His temple. 
ASK FROM GOD TO REVIVE YOU, TO HAVE REJOICED IN THE LORD CONTINUALLY.
PRAY that God will revive you to live life with the joy of God as your strength.
ASK FROM GOD TO REVIVE YOU TO BECOME REGAINED.
Pray that God will give heed to your calling on Him at all times.
God is kind.
