9 Characteristics of Revival

The Earth is Being Prepared For The Last Great Revival

Repent therefore and turn back that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord and that He may send the Christ, appointed for you, Jesus. Acts 3:19-20 ESV.

A Sovereign God acts sovereignly. Notice that nothing can be done against the truth, but that all things work together for His truth. He raises up Kings and brings down Kings. He raises up nations and brings down nations. YES, the earth has been in preparation for a great season of revival before the end of times and the second return of Jesus Christ.

History past assists in understanding history future. When we look back and study great revivals we notice general characteristics of those moves of God. Dr. Carolyn Tenant in a lecture (June 9, 2015) at the Theological Seminary for the Assembly of God in Springfield, Missouri gave nine characteristics of revivals past. They are listed below.

Occurred in times of moral decline

Began in the heart of a consecrated servant

Rested on the Word of God

Resulted in a return to worship of God

Witnessed the destruction of idols

Recorded separation from sin

Had people returning to obey God’s laws

Experienced a restoration of joy and gladness

Was followed by a period of national prosperity

We are witnessing a level of moral decay that we have not experienced in this generation. There is a spiritual restlessness that is stirring in the hearts of worshippers. This will drive a new sound of worship coupled with a manifest presence of God that has not been heard since the late 1960’s.

The earth is being prepared – the real question, are you being prepared?
