There are different types of revival. When you think of a spiritual revival, most people picture hundreds gathering and being totally changed. Some of that is true, but I want to focus on a personal spiritual revival that starts with you, me, and our relationship with God. Here is a short list of five characteristics if you plan to begin a spiritual revival. Do you need a spiritual revival?
  1. Prayer. With consistency, every genuine move of the Holy Spirit is preceded by earnest prayer. 
  2. Heart searching accompanied by confession of sin and genuine repentance.
  3. Changes in conduct and behavior, a turning from evil. 
  4. Acts of the Holy Spirit. “Like what?” you may be asking.  In some cases, revival has been accompanied by weeping, joy, and spirited singing and rejoicing. 
  5. Churches grow as people want to worship and hear the Word.  The attraction isn’t great music, a program, or the building, but the desire to fellowship with redeemed men and women and to hear the Word of God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lord, start a spiritual revival within me!

 

Point The Finger Towards Yourself…

I hear from people who are disappointed with their church. It’s too dry. “Boring.” “A social club.” “They only want my money” is one of their comments.  I think they are really saying their church needs new life, a spiritual awakening, a return to the purpose for which it was born.  Should you feel that way, why not start praying for your church?  

Invite a close friend to join you.  Instead of talking about how bad things are, pray and ask God to send a spiritual awakening.  Realize that when God revives your soul, revival is on its way to your church. ~ Bill Greguska

Do You Need A Spiritual Revival? 

In my life, I have had several so-called mini revivals, and many of you who are Christian can relate to what I am saying. Revival is a spiritual reawakening from dormancy or stagnation in a believer’s life. It involves a passion for God’s Word and His church, a convicting awareness of personal sin, humility, and a desire to repent and grow in God’s righteousness.

A revival sometimes deepens a believer’s faith, opening their eyes to the truth in a fresh, new way. It generally involves a fresh start, a clean slate, and a new beginning of a life lived in obedience to God. It generates both the will and power to live in the world, but not of the world. The First Great Awakening sparked a surge of devotion among Protestants in the 1730s and 1740s. By breaking away from dry ritual and rote church ceremony, the Great Awakening made Christianity intensely personal for the average person, as it should be, creating a deep emotional need for a relationship with Christ.

Begin A Spiritual Revival, Like When We First Accepted Jesus!

Revival, in a way, replicates the believer’s experience of being saved. The Holy Spirit initiates it by prompting the believer to recognize something missing or wrong in their life that only God can right.

Through His Holy Spirit, God calls us to revival in various situations. Christ’s letters to the seven churches reveal some circumstances that may necessitate revival.

The Greatest Spiritual Revival In History

 

Have You Forsaken Your First Love?

In the letter to Ephesus, Christ praised the church for its perseverance and discernment, but He said they had forsaken their first love (Revelation 2:4-5). Often, as the excitement of accepting Christ grows cold, we lose the zeal we had at first. We become bogged down in the ritual, going through the motions, but we no longer experience the joy of serving Christ.

Revival helps restore that first love and passion for Christ. Revival can lift us to new hope and faith and help resuscitate our spiritual life. In Revelation 3:11, we are further warned against complacency, a life that does not bear fruit. All of these scenarios call for revival. The evidence of revival is changed lives. Great movements toward righteousness, evangelism, and social justice occur. Believers once again spend time praying, reading, and obeying God’s Word.
