Desiring Revival, God‘s way

Is Faith something we work up, or is Faith supernatural, a gift from God? When one finds their heart cold, how does Faith come when calling upon God to revive their hearts?

One man or woman with God is a majority, and God uses vessels to fulfill His work. Our reliance upon historic methods that the people of the past have used has been the bane of today's Christianity. Revival is God's work done God's way, unique to every generation.

God chooses the weak things to confound the mighty. Resting in God is not passive disobedience; instead, it is active confidence in God, knowing what He can do and what He has promised, and stepping out by faith into the realm of the Supernatural.

Are revivals that we read of in the past isolated to a time period that cannot be repeated? We read of the great works of God in times such as the Evangelical Awakening in England, the Revival at Hebrides, or the move of God during the time of the Waldensians. Are we so different that we cannot expect God to work the same way today? What was their secret? 

A heaven-sent Revival can undo years of the works of the flesh and the devil. One of the key areas is in the matter of Evangelism. It is a spontaneous outburst of people set on fire, who don't just pray but also put legs to their prayer through obedience and go out into the highways and hedges to compel them to come in, that Christ might be made known and be glorified.

One of the grave dangers in times of Awakening is the ability of Satan, who as an angel of light" can deceive those who are affected by Revival, to see for some emotional high instead of grounding themselves in the word of God, the Bible. There is a grave danger when we allow the superficial moves of our day to be called "revival" when it is nothing more than the unity of devils.
