Revival is Here

What if revival isn’t something we’re waiting on, but something God is already doing?

That thought has been stirring in my heart again after being reminded of a dream I had back in 2020. Like so many others during the global pandemic, I found myself in a season of stillness, lockdown, uncertainty, and long stretches of time alone with the Lord. I spent much of those days praying earnestly for revival in our nation, crying out for God to move, to heal, and to awaken hearts.

Yet, looking back now, I realize something humbling: my prayers were shaped by my own assumptions of what revival should look like, not recognizing that He was already at work. In His kindness, the Lord answered my prayers, not in the way I expected, but in the way I needed. He spoke to me through a dream.

Throughout Scripture, God often uses dreams as a means of communication, especially in moments of transition, uncertainty, or divine redirection. In the Old Testament, Daniel received prophetic visions and later sought the Lord for their interpretation, demonstrating a posture of humility and dependence on God’s wisdom (Daniel 7). In the New Testament, Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was guided through dreams at pivotal moments. It was through a dream that he was instructed to take Mary as his wife, despite the confusion and risk it carried, and later warned to flee to Egypt to protect the Christ child (Matthew 1:20–23; 2:13).

These accounts remind us that dreams are not foreign to God’s voice. They are one of the many ways He chooses to speak, offering warning, instruction, encouragement, or direction. While not every dream carries spiritual significance, Scripture shows us that God is able to use them when and how He desires, always in alignment with His Word and His character.

Within the dream, I was sitting in a classroom, being taught the same lesson over and over again. I knew the material so well that I began to tune out the instructor, assuming I had already grasped what was being taught. Suddenly, he stopped and pointed directly at me and said, “You, you’ve caught the wind before everyone else. Revival is not coming. REVIVAL IS NOW.”

The moment those words were spoken, something shifted. It was like a domino effect. One by one, others in the classroom began to catch the wind as well, awakening to the same truth, being stirred by the same movement of revival that had already begun.

As I reflect on that season, and the dream God gave me, I’m reminded that revival does not always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it begins quietly, in homes, in prayer closets, in repentant and surrendered hearts. Revival isn’t merely an event to attend or a movement to anticipate; it is the life of Christ being awakened and lived out in His people. As He transforms us, we become a light in a dark world and, by His grace, a catalyst for the very change we long to see around us.

Perhaps the question is not when revival will come, but whether we have eyes to see what God is already doing, and hearts willing to respond.

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7)

Revival may not be on the horizon. It may be right here, right now, inviting us to awaken, align, and walk faithfully with Him.

As always live in Him and for Him
