JESUS promised:
John 14:18
King James Version
18 I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.
What comes to mind when you hear the word "revival"?
Surely, it means bringing back to life something.
Or someone.
SPIRIT gave me these key words:
REVIVE
REVITALIZE
RESTORE
RESUSCITATE
RESURRECT
RENEW
REGENERATE
REBUILD
REPLENISH
RECONSTRUCT

Amazing how they're all pretty much the same.
Such is SPIRIT.
Always so pure, perfect, powerful, and precise.
Now, let's turn to what Wikipedia says about "Christian revival".
I like this definition best, for it accurately defines the purpose of this blog:
"restoration of the church itself
to a vital and fervent relationship with God
after a period of moral decline"
-- Wikipedia
Are you born again?
Is your church in decline?
Can't find a church to go to?
