What Does Revival look like to you?

[BroChuck]

Hello Brothers & Sisters, I'm curious on how other brothers and sisters in Christ view Revival, What does it looks like?, What does it take for Revival to come? What can we do to spark a Revival? and so on ....

Over the past few months a few our local church body have been having cottage prayer meetings , Praying for Revival .. The Prayer meetings started out in Humility .. falling on our faces before a Holy God .. Crying out in Repentance, individually and Praying for The Church as a Whole, in these days we call good what God calls sin. I Believe we must Humble ourselves and let go of pride and allow The Almighty to work in our lives .For me over thepast few months The Lord laid it on my heart that we are a 21st Century Church .. not preaching The 1st century Gospel .. Reaching out unconditionally .. Boldly to Those that are lost .. But first we must come to His Throne Room of Grace Cleansed . In 2 Chronicles 7:14 The Lord Speaks to us...

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I Believe That "if" we do this His Promise That He will heal our land will happen, Backslidders will rededicate their lives,The Lost will see such Joy in our Hearts that they will seek and find, Bars will close down, crime will go down, jails will empty,There is a Lost world out there looking for something real and we are theones to take this to them I Believe with all my heart that if we focus completely at all costs Gods will for our lives He will Deliver .. This may mean getting out of our comfort zone .. Maybe even possibly sending us where we may not want to go , Giving up our jobs, giving up material things .. and go where He leads .

Are we as A Church willling to do This? Or is Our Pride in the way?

Love to hear yur Comments .....

Love in Christ,

Your Bro......... Chuck

Revival to me, triggers a picture of people standing with hands raised, and Holy Fire among them.

I know this sounds unusual to many....but that picture is what is in my mind when someone says "revival".

Pretty much the same way to me!

[Gerioke]

To me revival is when there is preaching in the streets, in the airwaves and people are praising God in public and God's power is evident every where you look

Revival to me is born out of necessity.

It will be given birth to by the Spirit of God.

It comes in a sweeping motion.

It will be evidenced by a great many acknowledging the Lord.

I feel a revival will be two fold.

First has a Fire quenching and garnering the flock.

Second has a latter rain, washing the spirit of un-belief away and covering us in a mighty gush of Spiritual revival.

One sentence always comes to me in mentioning the word Revival.

To many it may not makes sense.

Genesis 1: 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

I feel that that is how God moves in a Revival.

He moves across the Churches.

Acts 2:2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Acts 2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Ahh yes I like the verses you posted almost feels like a yoking for revival does it not.

I also noticed something, everything in a revival I mean everything good or bad works out to glorify God.

That is also one of the attributes that a revival is sweeping in

Sounds about right to me. People falling before God, and allowing Him to free them from all binding sin. Seeing families, marriages restored. I pray for such a revival.

[Avodah]

I agree with all, but I really think revival starts in OUR hearts. So when I hear the word revival, I think of it on a personal level, and as I begin to be revived it spreads, kind of like a fire.

Psalm 119:18 - Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law.

" ":40b - Revive me in Your righteousness

" ":88 - Revive me according to Your lovingkindness

" ":154 - Revive me according to Your word

" ":156 - Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments

I beleive revival begins with Fear of the Lord, Love for his word, humility and a GOD given desire to see people saved, healed, delivered and walking in wholeness.

This is a great topic, thanks

Amen!! Thats What I'm Talkin About!

Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
