Revive: brought back to life, recover, experience again, breathe life into, restore, awaken


When my son, Alex, was about 10 months old, he suddenly went limp and turned blue only feet away from me in the family room. While another son called 911, and not yet knowing what was wrong, I desperately cried out to Jesus to save my son. Suddenly a supernatural force pulled back my arm and then pushed my hand down his throat. I pulled out something he had swallowed and had obstructed his breathing. Immediately he revived.


After emergency services determined that he was okay, I went into shock. Without divine intervention, Alex would have died. I cried out to God and asked Him to make sense of it all for me. He spoke to my heart: Just as you fought for your son’s life, that is how I fight for you.


What a picture of God’s love! He is fighting for us! No matter what shape we are in, He can breathe new life into us.


Scripture:  Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. O LORD God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved (Psalm 80:18b-19 NASV).


Prayer: Abba Daddy, thank you for sending your Son to set us free. Thank you for fighting for us. And Father, thank you for breathing new life into me. Amen.

About Gael

gaelpix.png

Dr. Gael B. Hogan is a writer, artist, speaker and teacher. She is known for her refreshing transparency and expressive personality as she shares the journey of faith and God’s love for His people. Her heart’s desire is for people to know how truly real God is and to see lives healed and changed through an intimate relationship with Christ.  One aspect of her ministry is to see people fulfill their potential and to walk in the path and destiny God has created specifically for them.   

  

Born and raised in the Spring-Ford area near Valley Forge, PA, Gael graduated from Cameron University with a B.A. in English, received her Master’s Degree in Humanities from the University of Oklahoma, and continued her education with a Ph.D. in Religion from Christian Bible College.  

  

Gael’s first book, “Would You Do It For Me?”  is about living your faith honestly with a living God. As a fingerpainter, her art expresses the simplicity of childlike faith and joy. Locally, she is an ambassador for the Senior Games/Silver Arts of Lee County, and was inducted into their Hall of Fame. Gael was also the ambassador of the Sanford Brush & Palette Art Club as well as past president. She started the local pickleball program and was a former USAPA ambassador. But her greatest accomplishment and her greatest joy is being a wife, mother of six, mother-in-law to three, grandmother of fourteen, and spiritual mother to many. She and her husband, Mike, are senior ordained chaplains with International Fellowship of Chaplains and live in Sanford, N.C.
