What Does Revival Look Like?
Just curious as to what the diversity that is here on AFF see's as revival.
In your own words, how would you describe revival?
What takes place?
What does Revival look like from your point of view?

Revival is when those who are twice dead and plucked up by the roots are replanted, watered, and grow into a healthy crop.

First, a spiritual awaking and opening of eyes... It doesn't have to be a single new person walking into the building.... THAT happens next.

When the passion for Christ, discipleship, and the moving of the Spirit rises in the hearts of people---new and old.

In one word: LOVE.
God is LOVE.
When the LOVE of God is present, shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, Sin is purged, convictions toward righteousness set in, the LOVE is shown to one another, proving that we are His disciples. Since we have his Love, we keep his commandments as he also said, "if ye love me, you will keep my commandments." Love is manifested toward each other as CHARITY, by which we are matured and gown up into the image of Christ who love us all supremely. When that element of LOVE is present, there is also peace and order that is reflected in comfort in the hearts and homes of the saints, order is reflected by the casting down of hell shown in healings and miracles, showing that the kingdom of God is nigh unto us.

People are praying at all times of the day and night with a hunger for God, to become more like Jesus and to see His kingdom at work in unbelievers to be saved and believers to be strengthened and healed. There is more fasting going on. People are more passionate for souls. They come to church meetings and prayer meetings because they want to be a part of something. Even if there are not many souls being added just yet, revival comes from revive and those that were never alive don't need to be revived. It's the church

Revival is as follows:
Sinners are turning to Christ in heart rending repentance.
People are being converted and filled with the Holy Ghost.
The saints are being renewed in the Holy Ghost.
Everyone is drawing closer to God. Their is a distinct presence of
God manifested in the services.
