Where Am I Drinking From? (Jeremiah 2:13)
In this message Pete explores what true revival really looks like—not an emotion experience, not a church event, and not a moment of spiritual hype, but a deep return to God as our Source. Revival is the restoration of spiritual life where apathy, distraction, and dryness have quietly settled in. Through Psalm 27, Ezekiel 47, and Jeremiah 2:13, we trace the journey from self‑sufficiency back to the spring of living water.
We look at how the church has experienced major shifts every 500 years, each one exposing where God’s people have been drinking from. Today’s cultural moment is no different. Revival begins when we stop relying on our own “cisterns”—our routines, our control, our comfort—and turn again to the One Thing David longed for: the presence of God.
Ezekiel’s vision of the deepening river shows us how God invites us out of the shallows and into the fullness of His Spirit. Revival is not paddling at the edge; it is surrendering to the current of God’s life-giving presence. And Jeremiah reminds us that revival starts with honesty: recognising that our broken cisterns cannot hold water and returning to the spring that never runs dry.
So we must seek God’s presence intentionally, letting go of the things that drain us, asking Him for living water, and stepping deeper into the river of the Spirit. Move away from broken cisterns and into the life‑giving river of God’s presence.
