Regional Impact of Revival
Acts 19:11-20
During the revival period in the 1730’s, Rev Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield played contrasting roles the Kingdom of God. God will choose the man or the woman as His voice piece (Judges 6). But, we also see dramatic signs and wonders in the region when an awakening rises. You can be sure of this: God is the Author of it, doing His work in the hearts of the young and old. People gathered and conversed to speak about spiritual things, there was an attention to the Word of God, prayer and fasting. Imagine the reduction of “tavern-haunting” (bar hopping and carousing in these type of establishments). There is also an impact on the youth where even lewd songs and revelry (partying) diminish. Profoundly, there is much greater charitable giving to the poor (Gal 2:10). Imagine what the regional impact would be like today.
