The twin volume with this, Revival – a people saturated with God, answered the question: What is 'revival' in the history of the Christian church and how can we distinguish a genuine work of God's Spirit from the false claims that often distract us? The hallmarks of God's special occasions across the centuries and across the continents were gathered together to present a thrilling account of God's great work in spiritual revival.
However, some questions remained:
- Is revival an experience taught throughout the Bible?
- If it is, can we confidently expect revival at any time?
- Will there be a final great revival of gospel success before Jesus returns?
- What hinders our prayer for revival?
- How can we maintain effective prayer for revival?
These are some of the issues discussed in Praying for Revival. It steers us through the minefield of misunderstanding and provides a theological framework to support praying for revival.
