When people hear the word revival, they often think of a series of special services with an evangelistic emphasis. By definition, however, revival is something different. It is the reviving of God’s people: a renewal of spiritual life and fervor for the Lord. When a believer is genuinely revived, he or she will sincerely repent of sin, rededicate him-or herself to the Lord, they will strive for holiness, and walk more closely with Him than before.
