"This is Revival"

     I read this quote, and thought that it was worth sharing. This is the kind of revival that we need today.

     “This is revival! When men in the streets are afraid to open their mouths and utter godless words lest the judgment of God should fall; when sinners, overawed by the presence of God, tremble in the street and cry for mercy; when, without special meetings and sensational advertising the Holy Ghost sweeps across cities and towns in supernatural power and holds men in the grip of terrifying conviction; when every shop becomes a pulpit; every heart an altar; every home a sanctuary and people walk softly before God—this is revival.” —Quote from Rev. Owen Murphy (When God Stepped down from Heaven)
Walters, Kathie (2000-06-12). Bright and Shining Revival: An account of the Hebrides Revival 1948-52 (Kindle Locations 878-919). Good News Fellowship Ministries, Inc. Kindle Edition.

     There have been recent activities called "revival" in churches today, that come no where near to this. You can drum up emotions and excitement, you can get all kind of signs and manifestations, but at the end of the day, if people are not returning to Christ in true repentance and faith, if no lives are transformed, was it revival?
