@bearmasterAnd those are some good thoughts at that.and @BrothertomI heartily agree with everything you've stated.
Revival is the preaching of the cross. The message of the cross is encapsulated in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The response to the message is turning to God in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Evidence if such heart conversions will flow forth in deeds f repentance.So called outward manifestations are irrelevant or at best secondary to the gospel message. And the heart change that message brings.

"Revival is when Heaven kisses d earth." @Brother Tom: what a practical definition. Wish I saw this 3hours ago when I sent a mail to a Brother in Kampala Uganda, who'd askd 4 my definition of d term "Revival." Told him am more interested in havin a Revival than its definition. Told him that d half-hour spent prayin for Revival is of far greater Eternal consequence than the half-hour spent on a theological debate on d subject. Told him that one lesson I learnt from d Psalmist (Psm85:6) and d Prophet Habakkuk (Hab3:2) is that these two heroes of Faith askd God for Revival without stopping to offer us a balanced Theological definition of d word they employed. Wish I'd simply told him that "Revival is when Heaven kisses d Earth"
