How to know if you are in Revival
Remember - global revival is possible… it is predetermined as part of God’s plan. The conditional aspect of it is your participation! Are you in revival? How can you know?
I like Kathy Gray’s definition of revival, “vigorous life coming to the half-dead!” (Steve and Kathy Gray pastor World Revival Church. See Friends/Resources above.) You may be a Christian, but if you’ve been in the religious system for long, I can almost guarantee that YOU NEED REVIVAL!
Revival means seeing God for who He is and being absolutely, fiercely devoted to Him. It also means seeing yourself for WHO YOU REALLY ARE. None of this feel-good, seeker-sensitive, we’re all good people theology… but really allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work in your life… letting Him convict you of sin, righteousness, and judgement.
In other words, take a good hard look at yourself through the Holy Spirit and through the Spirit-inspired Word of God. Once you get a good look at yourself, you’ll be desperate for God’s “vigorous life” coming to you!
With hearts for the nations, we must be people of revival. The world has had enough of half-hearted, man-pleasing ineffective religion. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE - check out what’s happening in revival at World Revival Church. The articles and brief video clips will help you experience God’s reviving power for yourself.
Also, I’ve added a new book to my Friends/Resource page. Available October 28th, “My Absurd Religion” is a must-read for anyone who really wants to bring the powerful presence of God to the nations. (Click on this link and you can preview the first chapter of this by Steve Gray!) The World is waiting for some good news… I hope you will make every effort to be an effective minister of the gospel. -Laura Woodworth
