Also where is the new testament context for the idea of "revival"? I am open to scriptural correction.

It's also puzzled me why ministers will use revival as a term referring to church growth or bringing in new folks. That's not what it's about.
As for a NT context for revival, not sure there is one. Understand that the church was new at that time, so perhaps revival wasn't needed. Or maybe another Bible scholar can help with that. I'd like to know too.
