Toward Recovery

Helping someone toward a revival (a recovery or a refreshing) when he has been down and depressed, does not come by telling him to not give up and try harder—“You can do it”—but by telling him about what God did for him through the cross and resurrection in making him new and free, with a whole new way to live; by faith in Jesus and that—“He did it.”  That’s the gospel, and that’s where the power of God is.
