The Need of Personal Revival - Richard Baxter
I know not what others think, but for my own part I am ashamed of my stupidity, and wonder at myself that I deal not with my own and others souls as one that looks for the great day of the Lord. - More

The Real Reason for Revival - D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Before we continue with our study of this great chapter from Exodus, let me remind you of what we have learned from it up to this point. Moses has prayed for a personal assurance as far as he himself is concerned; he has asked for power, power for himself and for the people and, thirdly, he has asked for some exceptional authentication of the Church and his message. And now we must go on to consider why he prayed for these things. - More

The Worship Service: A Hindrance Or A Highway For Revival - Ron Owens
The uniting of God's people in corporate worship is of crucial importance to the life of the church. What takes place during this time should prepare the way for God to visit His people in revival. It is possible, however, for what occurs in the "worship service" of the church to actually be a hindrance to revival. - More

Preaching That Hinders Revival - Richard Owen Roberts
Repentance must always begin in the house of God. Doubtless the best place for it to start is with those of us who preach. Let us examine some errors of preaching that stand in the way of revival. - More

Corporate Hindrances to Revival - G. Richard Blackaby
Today's churches are praying for revival in unprecedented numbers. They are holding "revival meetings" and "renewal conferences" in the hope that these will hasten the coming of God's Spirit in power. Yet, despite these sincere efforts, many churches have allowed unbiblical theology, as well as secular practices, to become entrenched into their corporate lives. - More

Concerts of Prayer - Thomas J. Nettles
Our dependence on God for all things fills the believer most especially in times of prayer; the recognition of such dependence is always fitting in the creature's relation to the creator, but more especially in the sinner's relation to the Savior. - More

The Effectual Revival Prayer of Moses - Richard Owen Roberts
Have you ever made a careful, systematic study of all the prayers in the Bible and of all the teaching on prayer that the Scriptures contain? - More

A Call to Extraordinary Prayer for Revival - Erroll Hulse
Concerning fervent, persevering prayer, the prophet Isaiah writes, "I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest, until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise of the earth." (Isa. 62:6-7) - More

America's Spiritual Crisis - Erwin W. Lutzer
Despite its foundational Christian heritage, America is rapidly degenerating into a godless society. The church in America, although highly visible and active, appears powerless to redirect the rushing secular currents. - More

The Necessity of the Revival of Religion - John MacNaughtan
I will illustrate the necessity for a revival of religion in the present condition of the church, pointing to facts and circumstances humiliating to the believer and condemnatory of the church. - More

Revival Was the Church's Only Hope - Donald S. Whitney
How many thousands ... never saw, much less read, or ever heard a chapter of the Bible! How many Ten thousands who never were baptized or heard a Sermon! And thrice Ten thousand, who never heard of the name of Christ, save in Curses...! Lamentable! Lamentable is the situation of these people." - More

Cycles of Revival - Richard Owen Roberts
A very helpful way to come to grips with the Biblical teaching on revival is to approach it from the standpoint of the cycles of history. - More

Marks of Revival - J. I. Packer
The features of revival movements on the surface vary widely, perhaps as a result of different settings, yet indeed God appears to delight in variety. Nevertheless, at the level of deeper analysis, there are constant factors recognizable in all biblical and post-biblical revivals, whatever their historical, racial, and cultural settings. They number five, and are described below. - More

Revival's Source - John Sale
Not long ago, I visited the site of the church building in Northampton, Massachusetts, where the renown pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards once served... - More

Revival Terminology in History - Richard Owen Roberts
A number of years ago in a book entitled Revival, I gave the following definition of that term: "Revival is an extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit producing extraordinary results." While that phrase conveys the fundamental concept of revival, over the intervening years I have come to the conviction that one single word describes revival better than any other — that word is "GOD." - More

What is Revival? - Martin Lloyd-Jones
We can define it as a period of unusual blessing and activity in the life of the Christian Church. Revival means awakening, stimulating the life, bringing it to the surface again. It happens primarily in the Church of God, and amongst believing people, and it is only secondly something that affects those that are outside also. - More

Essential Characteristics of Genuine Revival - Erroll Hulse
We need to preserve a very clear view of what genuine revival is and in so doing to appreciate afresh just how marvelous such a work of grace is. Those who have themselves witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit in revival hardly need written descriptions and definitions to help them. However, those who have never known the reality of revival are more prone to settle for something less. - More

Directions for Judging of Persons' Experiences - Jonathan Edwards
Also from, Selections From The Unpublished Writings of Jonathan Edwards, this short work is evidently Edwards guide for testing conversions with questions during the Great Awakening. - More

Great Effusions of the Holy Spirit - The Advocacy of True Revival - Michael A.G. Haykin, Gary W. McHale - Edited
Jonathan Edwards' writings on revival are of especial importance, because he is, as Martyn Lloyd-Jones once described him, "preeminently the theologian of Revival." (1) His writings on revival possess ongoing value, because, first of all, they are rooted in a personal and intimate acquaintance with revival. - More

Jonathan Edwards on Corporate Prayer For Revival - Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards and the Crucial Importance of Revival - Martyn Lloyd-Jones
An address delivered at the Puritan and Westminster Conference of 1976, and published in The Puritans: Their Origins and Successors, by Banner of Truth Trust. - More

Revivals that Stay - E.M. Bounds
Revivals are among the charter rights of the church. They are the evidences of its divinity, the tokens of God’s presence, the witness of his power. The frequency and power of these extraordinary seasons of grace are the tests and preservers of the vital force in the church. The church which is not visited by these seasons is as sterile in all spiritual products as a desert, and is not and cannot meet the designs of God’s church. Such churches may have all the show and parade of life, but it is only a painted life. - More

The Kind of Revival We Need - Charles H. Spurgeon
We need a work of the Holy Spirit of a supernatural kind, putting power into the preaching of the Word, inspiring all believers with heavenly energy, and solemnly affecting the hearts of the careless, so that they turn to God and live. - More

Pray for the Spirit - J.W. Alexander
In order to have mighty and unexampled revival, what we especially need is for the whole Church to be down on its knees before God. - More
