Are we ready for revival?

Yesterday I wrote about Robert Evans and his preparation for revival (see below). Brian H. Edwards rightly points out that revival must begin with the church and God's people...

"We often have a tinted view of revival as a time of glory and joy and swelling numbers queuing to enter the churches. That is only part of the story. Before the glory and joy, there is conviction; and that begins with the people of God. There are tears of godly sorrow. There are wrongs to put right, secret things...to be thrown out, and bad relationships, hidden for years, to be repaired openly. If we are not prepared for this, we had better not pray for revival."
