WHY AND WHAT
There have been moments in the history of The Salvation Army when the Holy Spirit was given so much space in the hearts and lives of God´s people, releasing such an extraordinary and powerful movement of the Spirit that whole communities responded to the message of Jesus.
The recurring factors of revival are prayer, evangelism and God´s people making Jesus visible in their local communities by making a difference in the lives of the marginalised.
It is my absolute conviction that The Salvation Army desperately needs revival.
If we´re really serious about revival in The Salvation Army, we must pray for it, teach it, preach it, talk about it and sing about it!
“Revival evolves when God´s people wakeup for the mission he has given them, to which they dedicate themselves, fuelled by an inner fire. These come together as Kingdom passion, resulting in new life, new initiatives, more people getting saved and becoming disciples of Jesus Christ.” (Major Jostein Nielsen - Norway)
SONG INFORMATION
´Start your revival in me´ is a lively, upbeat song in Gospel style. The song can be used in SATB or in unison for small or large choir or singing group. The song can also serve well for congregational singing. For whatever use, the song needs a capable pianist who is not only able to play the notes, but who can play the gospel feel.
