What is Revival?

 

Evan Roberts:

“Revival is the Spirit’s work in the hearts of people.”

 

J.I. Packer:

“Revival is God touching minds and hearts in an overwhelming way.”

 

Jonathan Edwards:

“Revival is a glorious and wonderful working of God when He pours out His Spirit upon the people.”

​

​

Joel 2:28

I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy.  Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.

​​

 

Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭41‬-‭44‬ ‭ 

But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.”

Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ 

Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps, but the other five were wise enough to take along extra oil. When the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
