Short Exhortation About Revival
What is revival? Revival means restoration, rejuvenation, or renewal of interest after spiritual neglect. It is a heartfelt return to God and His commandment. Whenever there is a genuine revival, lost people will be saved, the church will be awakened from apathy and stagnation, individual Christians will be renewed, families will be healed in their relationships, the unity in the body of Christ will improve, believers will be sanctified and those who have strayed can return to the Lord.
True revival will lead to an increase in love for brethren, there will be an increase in the intensity of prayer and people will be lovers of God more than ever before. Those who have been weak before in the place of prayer will receive new energy and family altars will be reinvigorated. Isaiah 57:15 says, “For this is what the high and exalted One says, he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.” God is still interested in reviving the spirit of the lowly and the heart of the contrite.
Revival is the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon all flesh. Acts 2:17 says “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” So, revival is the promise of the Father to all flesh. When there is a great revival in the land, God is invariably fulfilling His promise to us.
