As long as there have been people serving the Lord, people have been backsliding and then experiencing revival. If the Lord was to send us a genuine revival, how would we recognize it?
REDEDICATION: A return to the Word of God as the "final authority" -- God's people rededicating themselves to keep and honor its words.
REPENTANCE: Is there a disconnect between the way we live and what the Bible says? When we come clean, we can be made clean.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
REFORMATON: Genuine revival will move us toward holiness and godly living.
Return to the place where the Word of God is the rule and standard of our lives. Repent of our sins and make wrongs right. Now God will use us and bless us.
