and answering the big three questions that we've asked. Number one, what is Revival? Number

of false Revival? To start, I want to highlight an important truth for you to consider,

and then we'll jump into the marks of false Revival. Here's the important truth. If

the church would be faithful, false Revival stands no chance. The reason that false

Revival has a foothold at all in the church now and in church history is because the

war. Because Satan does seek to undermine the church and infiltrate leadership, he takes

a divide and conquer strategy. So we need to think deeply and critically about true and

false Revival. We need to think critically about these topics and we should never be cynical
