Contending for the Word

True Revival vs. False Revival: Biblical Discernment from Scripture


Listen Later

The word revival is used constantly today—to describe emotional gatherings, cultural movements, and spiritual excitement. But Scripture never calls believers to accept every spiritual surge without testing it. In this episode of Weekly Watch, part of the Contending for the Word podcast, Dave Jenkins examines the biblical difference between true revival and false revival. Drawing from Scripture and church history, this episode addresses: • What the Bible actually means by revival • Why true revival is always produced by the Word of God • Common marks of false revival that elevate experience over Scripture • How repentance, obedience, and Christ-centered worship mark genuine revival • How Christians should respond with discernment rather than cynicism True revival does not revolve around personalities, platforms, or emotional intensity. It restores reverence for God's Word, produces repentance, strengthens the local church, and magnifies the glory of Christ. Believers are called not to panic or follow hype, but to test the spirits, remain anchored in Scripture, and walk faithfully in the ordinary means of God's grace.
