Revival Freaked Us Out in College, But We Embrace It Today // What Revival Is and Why We Need It
Manage episode 357029307 series 3432436
Ah, yes! We did indeed reject revival in our college and post college days, because we were put off by the package it came in. What we witnessed in 1994 seemed so darn messy and out of control. But now, many years later, we truly embrace revival and view it as not only desirable, but NECESSARY in our Christian lives. We now consider revivals as "God's Rolling Refreshment Throughout World History." How did we get here?
Join us as we share our awkward (and even wacky!) first experiences of revival, and the reasons why we initially rejected it. We explain how the Holy Spirit led us on a life-long spiritual adventure of discovering all the ways God moves in His people. A handful of historic revivals are touched on in this episode, including the Welsh Revival, the Azusa Street Revival, the Hebrides Revival, the Toronto Revival, and even the more low key revival that took place during Henrietta Mears' college ministry in Hollywood during the 1930s/1940s/1950s. (As well as revival experiences in California during the last ten or so years.)
Finally, we discuss the purpose of personal and corporate revival, how to discern which moves are "of God" and which aren't, and how to pray for revival.
We encourage YOU to embrace true revival today, in whatever package it comes! Don't be a spectator, but a participant!
