“THE REALITY OF REVIVAL”
PSALM 85:1-13

INTRO: REVIVAL is a term that is known to most of us who have been associated with a Bible-believing and preaching church for any period of time.

In the United States, many are familiar with the revival called THE GREAT AWAKENING that took place under the preaching of William Tennet, Gilbert Tennet, Jonathan Edwards, and George Whitefield between 1740 and 1742. The preaching of THE GREAT AWAKENING emphasized the essential reality of biblical doctrine, and it is estimated that out of the total of 3 million people who lived in the American colonies at that time, over 250,000 people, including some preachers, were converted to Christ. In fact, in some communities, over 20% of the population were converted to Christ. In addition, many more were challenged to new dedication and service unto the Lord in personal revival. Because many people were converted to Christ and Christians got spiritually revived God wrought great spiritual things:
