CHARACTERISTICS OF A REVIVAL by Kay Daniels

Acts 1:8 (KJV)  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

When the power of the Holy Ghost comes upon you and me, something changes. 

The power of the Holy Ghost is a game changer. 

The manifestation of the Holy Ghost is evident in what is changing in you. 

When the anointing of God comes upon you, something drastic changes in you. 

When the outpouring of the Holy Spirit comes on you, you move from something physical into a supernatural experience. 

It is the changes that happen in us that characterise a revival in us. 

Revival happen in certain areas of our lives but does not happen in other areas we are yet yielded. 

Here is one crucial thing that must happen in our lives for us to walk in true revival. 

Acts 2:2-3 (KJV)  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

What really is a revival? This is the result of the manifestation of the Spirit of God that creates changes in us. 

If God touched you or the fire of revival touched you, what changed in you? 

There has to be a revival of souls. 

This is one of the things that happens in a revival. 

You can have the move of the Spirit, but when there is revival of souls, then you are in a revival. 

If souls are not coming to Jesus, there is no revival in that congregation. 

Multiplication of souls is what characterise a revival. 

When you are in a revival, wherever you go, souls are been won to Christ. 

When you are in a revival, you would constantly crave to win souls into the kingdom. You would always win souls for Christ on a daily basis. 

Every unbeliever you meet would be an empty vessel that needs to be filled when you are in a revival. 

When you are in a revival, everyone that comes in contact with you must experience a change in their spirit man and their soul. 

In a revival, there is change in the imagination, memory, intellect, will and emotion of everyone we come in contact with. 

The church must be engulfed with the fire of the holy ghost for it to experience a true revival that draws souls into the kingdom. 

In a revival, you do not go out to envangelize because of what you can get, but because you cannot control the fire that is burning in your soul - the revival fire.
