Curated from Apostle Dan Henley

A heartfelt call to begin revival through humble repentance and personal renewal, trusting God to heal Memphis from the inside out.

At the One Memphis Prayer Summit, a stirring call echoed throughout the gathering—revival and transformation for the city must begin within each person’s heart. The powerful message emphasized that before any lasting change can touch the streets of Memphis, it must first ignite a fire of renewal and surrender in individual lives.

The speaker reminded everyone that true revival begins with humility and repentance, echoing the timeless truth found in scripture: “Change begins with me.” Drawing from Psalms 51 and Romans 12, the message pointed to the necessity of opening one’s heart fully to God, offering oneself as a living sacrifice—holy and pleasing in His sight.

A key focus was on the healing and restoration available when we seek God sincerely, turn away from ways that harm, and invite the Holy Spirit to do deep work within. The prayer woven into this message called for the cleansing of hearts, renewal of spirits, and restoration of the joy of salvation. It was a calling to not merely pray for the city in abstract, but to commit to personal transformation that reflects God’s glory visibly to others.

The speaker encouraged the community to shun worldly patterns and instead be transformed by the renewing of the mind—a renewal that enables believers to live changed lives that impact their families, neighborhoods, and the city at large. This inward revival acts as fertile ground for God’s kingdom to expand throughout Memphis.

Closing with a prayer of surrender, the message invited every individual to begin their revival wherever they are—letting God’s Spirit cleanse, empower, and lead with divine purpose. The simple yet profound plea was for revival to start with oneself, fully trusting God to bring healing to the city through the faithful lives of those who choose to be renewed.

Summary:
This article highlights the foundational truth that city-wide revival must start with personal renewal. Genuine transformation flows from humble repentance, wholehearted surrender, and openness to the Holy Spirit’s work. Memphis’ hope is rekindled as individuals commit to living holy, changed lives that reflect God’s glory and invite the restoration of the entire community. Revival truly begins within.
