Revival is...

[John of Japan]

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (Jer. 33:3).

Believers can call upon God--praying!--and see great things happen--revival!--in His name!

 

[John of Japan]

"Emptiness and willingness." Lee Roberson, pastor of the famous Highland Park Baptist Church, telling what is needed for the Spirit's power and revival.

I understand winning the lost to be a result of revival. People can actually proclaim the Gospel when they are bitter or sinning in some other way. For God's true power to come down, His people need to be right with Him. And the verses about revival I've posted so far have been aimed at believers.

But we're not that far off.

What passage are we referring to?

A poster since banned opined that American Christianity is declining, and I agreed, saying that America needs revival. In this thread I'd like to see single words, short phrases, quotes, and Bible verses telling what you think revival is, how it comes, etc.

"Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." Revelation 2:4-5

^^ revival

Maybe, maybe not. I understand revival to be winning the lost.

You can't win the lost when you're lost and wandering yourself. Jesus called it blind guides I believe.

You have to be in right relationship.
