Revival by William Dupley
Christians talk about revival all the time. They pray for it and conduct revival meetings, but what is it? I came across a great definition of revival, which sums it up best.
“Revival is God bringing His people back to spiritual health. Put another way. Revival is God bringing His people to a level of submission and faith where He can bless them the way He promised.[i]” “During a spiritual revival, God supernaturally transforms believers and nonbelievers in a church, locale, region, nation, or the world through sudden, intense enthusiasm for Christianity[ii]
The word “revival” is sometimes called awakening, outpouring, or renewal. These words all describe the same thing, God intervenes in normal church life and radically shakes it up. I have lived through two revivals, and in this blog, I will describe some insights I have extracted from those experiences.
