A few thoughts:
A revival is a deepening of personal communion with God according to the Scriptures.
It is not merely a reanimation of the church’s corporate life.
Do we have a correct view of God?
Do we have a correct understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Do we have criteria for evaluating whether we would be in a revival or not?
We want to pursue God further, even if we are mistaken about a revival or a claim to one. We want to seek God with deeper personal communion according to the Scriptures and trust God for the results.
For a helpful reflection, see JI Packer’s talk:
