There has never been a greater need in the church for revival than right now. The second coming of Christ is nearer than ever before. Prophecies are being fulfilled every day. There is a growing urgency for a spiritual awakening.

According to Charles G. Finney there are seven indicators that will be present when a church is on the verge of a spiritual awakening.

l. When the sovereignty of God indicates that revival is near.

2. When wickedness grieves and humbles Christians.

3. When there is a spirit of prayer for revival.

4.When Christians are willing to make sacrifices to carry out the new movement of God’s Spirit.

5. When Christians confess their sins…

6. When the attention of ministers is dedicated toward revival and spiritual awakening.

7. When ministers and laity are willing for God to promote spiritual awakening by whatever instrument He pleases…then revival comes.

The Scriptural formula for revival is very clear in Second Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” It is time for each of us to look into our hearts and examine where we are in light of the second coming of Christ.

Let us pray the prayer of the hymn writer, William P. Mackay, “Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love. May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.” Prayer remains the key to power through the Holy Spirit.
