Revival through seeking God
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Revival comes through divine intervention from God. To be granted revival calls for us to seek God in faith and with prayers that are saturated with the Word of God.
Revival is a time when heaven comes closer to earth. It is when the glory of God again becomes visible in our lives.
