Revival Culture

What would it look like to live in a perpetual mode of revival? What does that mean? As revivals have come and gone, many have asked this question and longed for a way to answer it. Can we move beyond great moves of God, to just one continual wave of Godly experience?

Before going any further, let me provide some baseline definitions so you fully understand what I mean.

Revival – A supernatural phenomenon where the awareness of God’s presence is greatly heightened among receptive believers. This phenomenon is many times followed (thought not always) by massive conversions, great repentance, physical and miraculous manifestations.

Culture – A way of living that encompasses not just spiritual life but all aspects of our short passage on this Earth. Examples of that would be: how we relate to others, how we contribute to society and how we spend our time.

Please note that this is not a theological analysis of what revivals are or are not. Instead, this is a personal reflection of what it means to experience revival. So before moving forward, let’s leave aside any questions around what manifestations or signs constitute a true revival and which biblical references apply to it. The last thing I want is to create a theological debate on this blog. We have wasted too much talking about God rather than experiencing Him directly. If you have questions about the movements mentioned in this blog, go seek God for yourself and let him lead you into all truth.

With this foundation established, let’s dive into this life-changing topic not only as an intellectual pursuit but with all our beings. A living God longs for His children to be more aware of who He is. He longs for deeply passionate relationship with them which includes not only our minds but also our hearts and souls.
