It is to revive the ones that have fallen from God. I honestly believe that revival is also for those that have not known God on earth. If we are all created by Him and for Him then we at one time were ALIVE in Him. He thought us up then spoke us into existance. Revival CAN NOT be only for those that have fallen away from God.

To me there is two types of revival. First is renewal unto God by fallen saints. Second is reaching the lost. Maybe revival is not the best word to be used, but you are arguing over symantics. I am pretty sure you knew what I meant about the original question of this post. The world revival is used by default cause it is easy. Every revival I have EVER been in we had more new converts than renewed fallen saints. When a Revival is happening often times the focus is on reaching new people. I think that is VERY safe to say. So please do not try and argue over verbage when you know good and well what I meant by the original post.

wow...thats all you got out of my post was offended?..sorry.....like I said....it was JMO...to bad you couldn't see what little good words may have been there through your determined rebuttle.....I will pray you find revival....tic
