There are 7 waves of revival in the Book of Acts, and we can identify them by their summary statements (Acts 2:42-47; 6:3-7; 9:31; 12:24; 16:4-5; 19:20; 28:30-31). One constant in all these revivals was the believers’ focus on the 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗚𝗢𝗗. The earliest Christians gave themselves to the apostles’ 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗘. The spread of God’s Word resulted in the number of disciples greatly multiplying. In spite of the many hardships and crises, wave after wave of revival broke forth.

Only when this is done will the congregation be “strengthened in the faith” and “prevail” in every crisis and difficulty.
