The Bible indicates that true revival is a work of God's sovereign mercy, stirring His people towards a renewed desire for His presence.
True revival, as delineated in the Scriptures, is not merely a series of meetings or emotional experiences, but rather a profound work of God in the hearts of His people. It begins with the sovereign mercy of God, causing His followers to see their coldness and indifference towards Him. As Habakkuk prayed for revival, believers today recognize their need for God's intervention to reignite their passion for Him. According to Psalm 85:6, 'Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?' this illustrates the necessity for God to breathe life into our worship which can often grow cold.
