Top Highlights
“In its classic sense, revival can be defined as a season of unusual divine visitation resulting in deep repentance, supernatural renewal, and sweeping reformation in the Church, along with the radical conversion of sinners in the world, often producing moral, social, and even economic change in the local or national communities. But is such a concept biblical? And is the term ‘revival’ even found in the Scriptures?” (Page ix)
“For both Law and Whyte, Adam began to lose his first perfection before Eve was developed” (Page 7)
“Following the death of Abel, Eve conceived another son and named him Seth. Seth’s name means ‘a substitute’ or ‘replacement.’ Eve’s statement concerning the child indicates that she believed that Seth was to replace Abel’s life and possibly his prophetic role. Seth represents a prophetic revival and signifies that when the prophets are revived, worship will emerge again, hence Enosh the son of Seth was born. After the birth of Enosh, men began to invite the presence of God again. Perhaps Eve hoped that Abel and then Seth were the seed that God had promised would bruise the serpent’s head. Then possibly, they could return to Eden once again.” (Page 12)
“Genuine revival requires discerning recognition as to how the enemy seduces individuals away from God and entices man to love knowledge more fervently than the Creator of all things. Idolatry begins when intimacy with God takes second place.” (Page 8)
“Genuine revival is ‘born, not of the blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God’ (John 1:13). By its very nature, revival is upsetting to the normal order of things, and almost without exception, those involved challenged both the Church and the culture by their lives and ministries. Like all ordinary men and women who loved God and people in both Scripture and history, they sometimes had real faults and failings, both loyal supporters and angry detractors, companions in the radicality of their calling or outspoken objectors with their own critical cohorts.” (Page xiv)
