02/27/12 REVIVAL BENEFITS AND STEPS
BENEFITS (4)
As well as evangelism, revival services produce various blessings for those who have been saved, including:
1- Backsliders are restored to a right relationship with God and others:
2- Believers make total commitment and become entirely sanctified;
3- Vision is renewed and enlarged;
4- Believers are called to the ministry (domestic and foreign).
True revival comes when parishioners focus on God in an exceptional way. Remember, "revival" implies a need to re-focus and re-commit. These 4 things should be happening during regular services. But in any case, "Keep On Keeping On."
STEPS (3)
Here are three easy to remember steps to Revival (renewal, restoration). These three steps are found in Christ's words to the churches in Revelation (chapters 2-3).
1- Remember.
