The Church was never meant to be stagnant, divided, or distracted. In this urgent and inspiring devotional, Victoria Riollano shares her perspective as a pastor’s wife and spiritual leader, reminding us that revival doesn’t begin in a building—it begins in the hearts of believers. Too often, churches are caught in petty divisions or cultural debates, losing sight of the Great Commission.

Drawing from Matthew 28:19-20, Victoria calls the Church back to its original mission: to go, make disciples, and teach the truth of the Gospel. True revival demands action, humility, and a renewed commitment to live and proclaim the good news of Jesus. Revival is possible—but it starts with us.

📝 Main Takeaways

• The Church is in desperate need of spiritual revival—not programs, but people fully surrendered to Christ.

• Jesus' Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20) isn’t a suggestion—it’s a command to go, teach, and disciple.

• Revival begins with the individual believer who is willing to boldly live out and share their faith.

• Our focus must shift from preferences and performance to presence and purpose in Christ.

📖 Bible Verses Referenced

• Matthew 28:19-20 – “Go and make disciples of all nations…”

• Psalm 85:6 – “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?”
