The Difference between Evangelism and Revival
"A revival is a community saturated with God." - Duncan CampbellThe difference in evangelism, and revival is this: In evangelism, the two, the three, the ten, the twenty, and possibly the hundred make confessions of Jesus Christ,and at the end of the year you are thankful if half of them are standing. But the community remains untouched. The pubs and clubs are crowded, the dances, concert halls, packed. The theatres are patronized by the hundreds and thousands.
No change in the community! But in
REVIVAL, when God the Holy Spirit comes, when the winds of heaven blow, suddenly the community becomes God-conscious! A God-realization takes hold of young, middle-aged and old. So that, as in the case of the Hebrides Revival, 75% of those saved one night were saved before they came near a meeting!
I am NOT satisfied to just evangelise and not see God's Power at work.
God is the God of revival, but we are the human agents through which revival is possible.Are we not affected to see our community in such a state? If we are, then are we willing to be part of God's Revival?
Yes, I am. You?
The key of it is in the fervent prayer of a repentance heart. A broken and contrite spirit.
The vision of Revival is burning brighter in my life, I pray that God will renew the vision in your life and that you may Catch the
Fire!!!"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
