Trusting in the Lord Completely (2 of 6)
Series: Pathways to Revival

2 Kings 18:5-6, 17-25; 19:14-19,32-37
INTRO: If the first step on the pathway to revival is repentance, the second step is complete trust in God! It is not enough to simply turn away from something like sin, we must also turn toward something like God!
One of the characteristics of true revival is an almost fanatical trust in God. Absolute trust in God was characteristic of the great champions of God. Often the failure of others in the Bible was due to the lack of trust they had in God or His Word.
The quality of our spiritual life can be directly connected to the quality of our trust in God.
