when God brings revival.

I am reminded of three necessities to be in place for a revival:

1. the preaching of the Word of God
2. the regeneration by the Spirit of God
3. the evangelization by the regenerate of God

If one studies Church history he finds that God has often brought revivals at certain points of history when His Word was faithfully and fearlessly proclaimed. Through the preaching of His Word, then, He saved and regenerated sinners so that they then take that gospel message and faithfully evangelize and share the gospel with others.

Oh how we need a revival today. But we can't expect revival until these three key elements are in place.
