How to achieve it? You think it comes by the will and work of man?
How about we start with own selves? :)

are you aware of what happens after a revival?

I am having a problem with your questions honestly

what do mean how do you achieve it?

do you think it is a spiritual high? that never lasts

a person can have 'revival' in their life every day...by aligning themselves with the word of God and growing in Him

do you see revival as some kind of 'fix' for a poor spiritual life?

I'm asking cause I am not sure where you are coming from

It can be achieved, but not in the way of a big, nationwide kinda thing, at least not in these last days. A single christian can experience it.

2 Chronicles 7:12-15 (KJV)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. [SUP]13 [/SUP]If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

[SUP]14 [/SUP]If my people, which are called by my name,
(1) shall humble themselves,
(2)and pray,
(3)and seek my face,
(4)and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

Go to biblehub.com & check the commentaries on that verse for more info.

Hey now Stephen63... we can see it happening on a national level in the bible! Look at Ninevah.
Is it likely to occur today on a national level? One can hope... but not on a grand scale.

To the OP.
The bible speaks of a revival after the start of the Great Tribulation, which leads to martyrdom for faith and standing/abiding in God.
The bible also says that before the Great Tribulation, there will be a great apostasy, people turning from the truth of God to anything else. (1 Timothy 4:1-3)

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 4:17 RSV

Back online with a new laptop ... So now I can report we had 32 people at our first revival meeting We had a great speaker in Jaquie Maguire and some great songs with the band also coming to help inspire all in worship and praise.
In our 32 we had a retired Pastor plus Pastors from 3 other local churches, May this be the start of another great Welsh revival.

Read the Book of Acts---Revival is usually God ordained---- we can start revival through prayer---- when a church is in unity for revival it can occur----ask the Holy Spirit-------He will show you places of revival...
