Foreword
I will pour out my Spirit
Joel 2:28-29, Acts 2:17-18
Revivals bring thousands into God’s kingdom as his Spirit moves powerfully in the earth. All revivals carry some or most of the characteristics of Pentecost, the prototype and forerunner of revivals. Peter, preaching then, explained what was happening from Joel’s famous prophecy (Acts 2:17-21):
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.
And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved.
This book provides a summary overview of many revivals since the first Great Awakening in the eighteenth century including some current revivals now transforming communities. I give more details in my book Flashpoints of Revival, and still further details including footnotes in Revival Fires (see Appendix).
This book gives a brief glimpse of revival in summaries. These are compiled from my articles in the Renewal Journal, available on the web at http://www.renewaljournal.com, especially the Blogs:
Revival Fire (from Issue 1: Revival)
Spirit Impacts in Revival (from Issue 13: Ministry)
Revivals into 2000 (from Issue 14: Anointing)
Revival in the 21st Century (from Issue 11: Discipleship & Transforming Revivals)
The companion book to this one, Renewal, also contains chapters drawn from my Renewal Journal articles, namely:
Renewal Ministry (Issue 7: Blessing)
Revival Worship (Issue 6: Worship)
New Wineskins to Develop Ministry (Issue 15: Wineskins)
Vision for Ministry (Issue 16: Vision)
Community Transformation (Issue 20: Life)
Astounding Church Growth (Issue 2: Church Growth)
Our Lord and God still pours out his Spirit, affecting untold millions of people, churches, communities and even nations. I hope these books both inform and inspire you.
