Christian revival refers to a spiritual reawakening or restoration in a believer's relationship with God after a period of dormancy or stagnation. It deepens one's faith and opens their eyes to truth in a fresh way, marking a new beginning of obedience to God. Revival replicates the believer's conversion experience by prompting awareness through the Holy Spirit of something missing that can only be restored by God. It responds to situations like losing one's first love for Christ, enduring persecution, or tolerating false teachings, helping resuscitate spiritual life and bear fruit. The evidence of revival includes an outpouring of the Holy Spirit changing lives, and believers spending more time in prayer, God's word, confession, and using spiritual gifts.
