When God Makes Streams in the Desert: Revival Blessings in the Bible
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
What is biblical revival? Many Christians associate revival with special meetings that used to take place once or twice a year. Guest preachers and singers would be brought in, and special evening services were designed to encourage believers to get closer to the Lord and to convince unbelievers to accept him as their Savior. But that is not revival. Biblical revival is about God bringing his people back to spiritual vitality. Only Christians can be revived because only they have spiritual life, having been regenerated by the Spirit of God on the basis of the redeeming work of Christ. Learn what the Bible teaches about revival, and be inspired to pray that, even in our day, God will make streams flow in the desert.
