Welcome back to The Good, The Bad and Jesus In-Between.
What is Revival? Well, it’s a profound and often collective awakening of the human spirit… a period in which individuals, communities, or even entire societies experience renewed faith, deepened devotion, and a transformative sense of connection to the divine. It is not merely a return to religious practice, but a re-ignition of the heart and soul…
What happens during a revival? Well, spiritual awareness intensifies; people feel a heightened sensitivity to truth, compassion, and purpose. Old habits of apathy or moral indifference give way to conviction, humility, and a yearning for purity and peace. Revivals have swept through churches, towns, and nations, leaving behind a lasting impact on culture and conscience. They often emerge in times of moral decline, social unrest, or spiritual dryness; when the human heart collectively hungers for meaning beyond material life. Preachers, prophets, or ordinary believers may serve as catalysts, but the true power of revival is understood to come from a divine source: a movement of spirit that awakens what lies dormant within the soul.
What is the atmosphere like during a revival? Well, it’s charged with emotion and energy. People pray fervently, confess wrongdoings, and seek forgiveness. Music, worship, and communal gatherings often play a key role, creating spaces where hearts open and lives change. For many, this renewal is deeply personal; a moment of clarity when they encounter the divine presence in a way that reshapes their understanding of themselves and the world. For communities, it can bring reconciliation, social healing, and a rekindled sense of moral direction.
Ultimately, a spiritual revival is both an inward journey and an outward transformation. It revives faith, reawakens love, and restores hope. It calls people to live with greater authenticity, compassion, and alignment with sacred truth. And though revivals may wane with time, the seeds they plant; of devotion, unity, and spiritual consciousness continue to bear fruit long after the fervor fades!! It’s a powerful and sacred movement in which the Spirit of God breathes new life into His people, stirring hearts, renewing faith, and calling the Church back to its first love; Jesus Christ. It is not simply a series of emotional meetings or religious excitement, but a divine visitation; a season when heaven touches earth and believers experience a deep, undeniable awareness of God’s presence. Revival rekindles what has grown cold, revives what was dying, and restores what was lost, leading individuals and entire communities to repentance, holiness, and a fresh zeal for the Gospel. Hearts are broken before Him; tears of repentance flow; the Word of God comes alive with authority; and people are compelled to make peace with God and with one another. Sins once ignored are confessed, relationships are restored, and a passion for prayer, worship, and evangelism is reborn. It is a reminder that God’s presence is not a distant memory but a living reality, and that when His people humble themselves, seek His face, and turn from their ways, He is faithful to heal and restore.
We thank the whole Revival & Youth Montreal team for being our special guests on this Spirit filled, Jesus loving episode… It was a pleasure to have such wonderful people with the fire & hearts towards Our Lord & Saviour; just doing what they’re called to do and bringing many lives to the kingdom of heaven. It’s with their obedient hearts that they choose to walk the way that The Father has set for them, and with that, comes salvation & revival to our cities!!!
