I heard a preacher today who was quoting a study that was conducted. I thought it was interesting as it relates to God and money.
The study was conducted looking at all major revivals that took place between the late 1700's and the late 1900's. I don't have the info in front of me now, so my percentages will be off slightly, but I am real close.
- Just over 2% of all revivals took place during economic conditions that were considered a depression.
- Just over 4% of all revivals took place during economic conditions that were considered a recession.
- About 18% of all revivals took place during economic conditions that were considered in recovery - uptrending.
- And about 75% of all revivals took place during times considered as prosperous.
Making the assumption that this study was accurate do you think there is any correlation between economic times and the power of the Spirit being poured out?
