Understanding the Meaning of Real Revival
Jesus Christ, the Lord of revival has given me, through the power of the Holy Spirit, three definitions of what revival is. In order to talk about the Lord of revival, in order to deal with the quest for spiritual renewal, we must understand what revival is. The Lord of revival, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, gave me the following definitions by laying them on my heart.
Firstly, revival is a spiritual quest. It is a constant journey to resurrect a dead, dormant and dull church into an organized group of captivating, committed, and creative believers in Jesus Christ, whose vibrant lives make a real difference in a real world that is full of real problems. Now, of course, this applies to the church at large, and this applies to people individually as well as collectively.
Secondly, the Lord of revival gave me this definition, through the leading of the Holy Spirit. Revival is a divinely orchestrated and wondrous work of the Holy Spirit that convicts the church to rekindle the red-hot flames of spiritual renewal and Godly integrity. This impacts the social, political and economic structures of society for the glory of God, even in the midst of great Christian persecution.
And thirdly, the prompting of the Holy Spirit laid this last definition on my heart to share with you. Real revival is an awesome move of God that clearly calls the church to complete repentance, more responsibility and renewed relationships with God. Thereby, bringing the fear of God Almighty back into the center of secular society.
