[revival-fire] Fwd: WHAT IS REVIVAL? 

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******
Hi from Oklahoma City:

   I am going to quote Steve Gray's definition of revival, I found on his blog. Wow. This might seem flippant or way too simple for some, yet I think he hit at the essence of revival that we are looking for (however shockingly). What he describes is something that actually happened to him, so to speak (it doesn't have to always be a "powerball" or a "fireball"). God zapped him in one Sunday night in 1996 (at about 6:07 pm, was it?), and he has been a different person since. In my early days of ministry (a campus minister guy--wild eyed and mystified), we believed this. So simple. So great. Here is the quote:

So, shouldn't revival be defined by someone who has actually, definitely, no doubt about it been revived?
What would Paul of the Bible say revival is? How would he say it happens. Wouldn't his description of revival be the one he told three times in the book of Acts. "I was walking along and suddenly a power ball from heaven struck me and I have been a different person ever since." It makes sense to me.


YES!

Revival is about the presence of God doing what God wants to do with people. Hunger, openness. Going after Him with all our hearts.
 
Some of you all on Revival Fire are on the All Nations verse by verse book by book email Bible study list. If you are not, just get on by emailing DonKeesee@aol.com. It has really been a great thing studying the Bible this way from a Spirit-filled, revivalistic perspective.
