After having studied and written on over 282 revivals, it has been made clear that there are similar elements to be found leading up to every revival that has ever occurred. Some people assume that God never does the same thing twice, and that we cannot duplicate things of the past and expect similar results today. We do not find that to be an accurate statement, because as we study revivals, we find that there are always patterns to be found.
When people state that we cannot duplicate what occurred in the past and expect a revival to come when we do them, they are most likely saying we shouldn’t duplicate “methods of the past”, not that we shouldn’t attempt to duplicate “principles of the past”.
Methods are many.
Principles are few.
Methods may change.
But principles never do.
PRINCIPLES OF REVIVAL
Since principles never change, we have briefly written about those principles, and you can access them here:
► Revival Principle #1: All it Takes is 1 Spark
► Revival Principle #2: The Pastor Pursues God for Revival
► Revival Principle #3: Extraordinary Prayer
► Revival Principle #4: Faith to Believe Revival is Possible
► Revival Principle #5: Planned “Revival Services”
► Revival Principle #6: Humble Yourself and Confess
► Revival Principle #7: Deal Thoroughly with Sin
► Revival Principle #8: Attacks will Come
► Revival Principle #9: Revivals Fade
