Revival GenerationSample

REVIVAL is the awakening of God’s people to their true purpose. Revival occurs when the Holy Spirit empowers and inspires people to get serious about knowing Jesus and obeying the Scriptures.

Many people think that revival is a feeling, your emotions are stirred up with lots of crying and “Holy Spirit goosebumps.” Of course, tears may be involved, but true revival is God’s people getting serious about worshiping Him above all and living out their true purpose of knowing Him and making Him known.

Revival is more than a feeling; it’s an awakening.

The last thing Jesus told His followers before He ascended back to heaven was a beautiful promise, but it’s also a guiding statement for what they were supposed to do with their lives from that point forward.

Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

The promise of the Holy Spirit is a beautiful promise. Here is the Son of God promising the Spirit of God to be given to all believers. When you receive His Spirit, you will also receive His power, and this power will launch you to live differently everywhere you go.

In Acts 2, you see the promise is fulfilled. The Spirit of God came to dwell and remain inside of Jesus’s disciples, and He changed everything. Acts 2:41 says, "So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them." That is a lot of men, women, boys, and girls who were filled with the Holy Spirit and began a new way of life. Those changed lives went on to change their communities. This is what revival looks like!
