REVIVAL: derived from Latin root words ‘re’ and ‘vivere’; together, interpreted as ‘to live again’, ‘to receive again a life which has almost expired’ or ‘to rekindle the flame which was nearly extinguished’.  

​

• Revival can only be applied to a living soul, or to that which once lived.  

• Revival is a blessing which can be enjoyed by those who have some degree of life.  

• Although revival in its true essence belongs to God’s people, it always brings with it a blessing for those who have not given their lives to Christ.  

  

By revival, we mean an across-the-board movement of the Holy Spirit as He touches hearts, changes minds, melts pride, and transforms sinners. In a revival, three things happen; 

​

• The hearts of God’s people are broken in repentance and humility  

• The Lord’s people come together in love and service.  

• The Lord’s work of ministry, giving, witnessing and missions is propelled speedily.   

  

A revival is a restoration to vigorous health. It relates to the living, not to the dead. Thus, spiritual revival is the restoration of ailing Christians to vigorous spiritual health. Revival is not just an emotional touch; it’s a complete take over!
