How do we know that God initiates revival?

Answered in 1 source

God initiates revival as seen in Josiah's reign, which was prophesied 500 years before his birth, showing that true revival begins with His purpose.

The revival during Josiah's reign exemplifies the principle that revival originates from God's sovereign will. It was not a product of human initiative but a fulfillment of divine prophecy. As stated in Ezekiel 36, God promises to give His people a new heart and spirit, indicating that revival is a work of God's grace rather than a human effort. Josiah's reforms highlight how genuine revival can only occur when God acts in the hearts of His people, leading them back to Him and sparking a response of obedience and reverence for His Word.
