The 5 W's of Revival

What -  What is true revival?  The answer to this question I hope is accurately explained in my book, "You Are Revival."  I don't disagree with many common definitions of true revival, however, I make a valiant effort to point out that this revival is not just sovereign but requires the Church's prayers and cooperation.

Where -  The "where" of revival is very much misunderstood in the body of Christ.  We think revival is relegated to a certain location if it is "anointed" enough or has a certain "blessing," or "Open portal in heaven" over the land.  Christians also many times think God can and only will move within the four walls of a church building.  All of these assumptions are greatly incomplete.  God's "where" is wherever you are!

When - Many people mess up the "when" of revival.  Many Christians honor the revivals of the past but fail to truly grasp that God wants revival NOW.  There's no formula you must follow and complete for you to finally obtain revival.  It is a gift that can be received whenever you're open to receiving it and committed to stewarding (taking care of) it.

Why -  Many believe why God would want to bring revival and why it's needed.  God's Church needs to repent of her sins and be washed clean and refreshed so she can reach a world with the purity of the power of the full gospel of Jesus Christ!  However, many still don't understand why He will do it today.  This isn't just for an endtime agenda of His for the harvest.  Revival completely aligns with His eternal will for a variety of things, including His desire to pour out His Spirit on all flesh, that none should perish, and that we come into the fullness of our blessings and inheritance in Christ Jesus.

Who - Most agree that the "who" when it comes to true revival is obviously God; The Father's will, the Son's prayers and commandments, and the Holy Spirit's power.  Plus His persona, presence, and perfection manifested on earth to give us a glimpse and taste of what we're in for in heaven.  However, most Christians don't realize the other extremely necessary and relevant "who" in revival... YOU!
