'A Real Fire in My Heart': Phil Wickham on Revival He Hopes Will Trample 'Wickedness'

Worship leader Phil Wickham is on a mission to "light people's hearts up for Jesus" and to witness a revival in the church that ignites a true and legitimate passion for the Lord. The singer, who recently spoke with CBN News at the KLOVE Fan Awards red carpet, explained what motivates him to continue sharing his faith through music.
"The Lord has put a real fire in my heart to absolutely love creating songs that light people's hearts up for Jesus, and, specifically, our new prayers that we can sing together as worship songs," Wickham said. "It's a calling, and sometimes it takes some sacrifice, being away from home, all that." The singer said making worship music people can sing to glorify God is an incredible "gift and responsibility" - one for which he's immeasurably grateful.
"I don't take one moment of that lightly," Wickham said. "My heart burns for those opportunities, and so I'm so thankful I can do it." The singer said he has no plans to stop anytime soon. "I'll be doing [it] as long as people want to sing them," Wickham added. He hopes to see the church ignite into massive revival, drawing people back to the Lord in a way that changes their hearts and minds to be more like Him.
"My prayer would [be for] amazing revival in the church that would light a fire in people's hearts to turn from wickedness, and turn from stuff that's just not of Jesus, and turn from the selfishness, and stop being judgmental, and start just showing the love of Jesus in a pure, and simple, and sweet way to the world," he said. "Just a new revival in the church, because the church here is huge - just sometimes it can get a little sleepy, and I'm speaking from my own experience." Watch the powerful conversation.

Why is 'wickedness' in quotes?

[@dianeenvy4194]

Phil, be careful with lyrics and composition of songs. We are allowed to judge, but to judge a certain way is another thing.

[@kgneo]

His intentions may be good - but, in 2024 it seems shocking that so many people still believe in fairy tales.

[@dianeenvy4194]

Bible isn't full of fairy tales. Besides even in fairy tales there are some truth to it like in everything else.
