Difference Between Revival and Awakening

|
| Now I have a question. | |
| What's the difference between revival and awakening? | |
| They're totally different. | |
| They're totally different. | |
| And there are many definitions for both of them. | |
| The easiest way to recognize the difference is that a revival can be and usually is begun in an individual heart. | |
| Glory, you can have revival. | |
| You can live in perpetual revival. | |
| I can have revival. | |
| My family can have revival. | |
| My local church can have revival. | |
| Right? | |
| Awakening is much broader. | |
| Awakening comes when God Almighty sovereignly decides as a result of prayer to visit with his presence outside the church, in the store. | |
| People get born again without anyone witnessing to them. | |
| They receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. | |
| They get out of their automobiles, or in many cases, off their wagons back in the day, and fall out under the power of God and wake up repentant. | |
| That is a divine visitation of the Spirit of God in response to prayer. | |
| Revival comes if my people call by my name, my people, my people, call by my name. | |
| That's now. | |
| We need now. | |
| We need that now. | |
| Yes. | |
| If my people call by my name, first prerequisite to revival, humility. | |

Never Satisfied Hunger

|
| Not, what is humility? | |
| Not thinking you know it all. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's right. | |
| So what develops, Jim, what you talked about, a hunger for this book. | |
| Yes. | |
| It's your meat. | |
| It's your bread. | |
| It's your sustenance. | |
| It's your water. | |
| It's your life. | |
| You don't have to try to read the Bible. | |
| You have to try to stop reading the Bible. | |
| That's right. | |
| Right? | |
| So there's that incessant passion, that hunger born of the humility of, I don't know it all. | |
| I don't have it all. | |
| I need more. | |
| Your Bible says that the earth crying out for water is never satisfied. | |
| The empty womb desiring to conceive is never satisfied. | |
| A fire consuming fuel is never satisfied. | |
| We must develop a heart that is never satisfied. | |
| A humble heart that says, teach me, Lord. | |
| Make me become what you want me to become. | |
| Give me the want to, to want to. | |
| Humble themselves and then pray and then repent. | |
| Turn from their wicked ways. | |
| Seek my face. | |
| Then I will hear from heaven. | |
| First, I will forgive their sin. | |
