Same source as below – here are (according to Jim Packer) some defining signs of an authentic revival:
- God comes down.
- God’s Word pierces.
- Man’s sin is seen.
- Christ’s cross is valued.
- Change goes deep.
- Love breaks out.
- Joy fills hearts.
- Each church becomes itself—becomes, that is, the people of the divine presence in an experiential, as distinct from merely notional, sense.
- The lost are found.
- Satan keeps pace.
Not really liking the phrasing of the first one – creates too much of a ‘distant God above’ theology that flies in the face of His omnipresence and immanence.
Not quite sure what he meant at number 8?
