Revivals, the changing of the heart of the masses, has occured in our history time and time again.
It comes unexpectedly, yet with anticipation.
A heaviness weighs over the people, as the glory of God falls into a place and onto those around
You become terrorized over your sin and you repent deeply
Your schedule goes out the window.
You called on God to sic’ em, and He will, but He will require your help
For a period of time, it will wreck your day, night, week.
You won’t be able to leave the sanctuary and when you do, all you can think about is returning to the presence of God
When true revival breaks out it is really because of one simple truth: someone repented of their sin in a real, deep, confessional way
Elmer Towns reports: when revival came to Liberty University and Thomas Road Baptist Church in the fall of 1973, glory flooded the church auditorium . . . it was atmospheric revival.
All normal activities in our lives shut down.
Students and business people didn’t want to leave the sanctuary because when they left the building, they were leaving the presence of God.
They didn’t want to miss anything that God was doing.

The Ten Greatest Revivals Ever 3
Introduction
Most of the ushers and pastors had gone home.
One student went to the pulpit—weeping—to confess sins.
The microphone and pulpit lights were off, but God was there.
The student’s passionate repentance captured those who were still in the auditorium.
Someone began singing.

A pianist ran to play the piano.
People dropped to their knees beside the altar and front pews.
The piano was playing softly, not interrupting the sacred sound of tears.
Shortly, another broken person approached the pulpit to confess sins.
After two hours, frantic phone calls went out to the pastor and deacons, “Revival’s hit the church!”

Church members were awakened in the middle of the night, hurriedly dressed, and drove through the dark streets of Lynchburg.
All came back to the church building expecting to experience God.
No ties . . .
no Sunday morning dresses . . .
just believers eager for the touch of God.
