Remember Who You Are

Q: What is revival?
A: It's when you and I remember who we are, whose we are.

Preach it Rafiki and Mufasa! =)

There's so much to unpack from this clip!This is what spoke to me the most (re-enacted):

Me: Who am I?!

God: You are MINE.


Me: Where am I going?!!!


God: I will be with you.

A->There is great peace, joy and security in finding your identity in your Creator, “whose you are.” And there’s lots of hope and rest in knowing that you don’t have to know all the answers because all that matters is that He is with you; the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, ever-loving, ever-giving and forgiving, Creator of the universe and of you and I is with you =) And the more you seek Him, the more you find out. It's all about relationship. Everything else flows out of that.

B->Let's listen to God and believe who He says we are and that His Spirit lives inside of us from the moment we believe in Jesus and give our life to Him (confess our sins, lay all our burdens down at His feet).

-> That may be hard to do, so let's be like Rafiki to each other (Rafiki means friend in Swahili) and show each other the way to the truth. Let's encourage, correct and rebuke in love. Sometimes the truth hurts, and it may seem like conflict (against flesh and blood) but its actually love (against sin)-> e.g. when Rafiki smacked Simba.

"Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses." (Proverbs 27:6)

Simba:Looks like the winds are changing (revival)

Rafiki: Change is good.

Simba: Yeah, but it's not easy.

Be encouraged. Press on with His strength! =)

"Forget the former things;

do not dwell on the past.

Behold, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the desert

and streams in the wasteland."

(Isaiah 43: 18-19)
