Over the past few years I have been researching revivals and movements of God throughout history. I am always looking to find characteristics that are present in each movement regardless of location, ethnicity, era, or religious affiliation. Below is my current list of those characteristics. As I write this I am thanking God for what He is doing in Kansas City. May the fruit of revival grow.



10 Characteristics of a Move of God




1 God's Word is proclaimed through preaching and teaching


2 His ways are demonstrated with power that delivers people from bondage


3 The recognizable presence of The Holy Spirit


4 People are transformed internally (identity, behavior, etc)


5 People are transformed externally (reach out to lost, hurting, poor, etc)


6 A large sense of awe – (inc. praise & worship)


7 A truth is restored or expressed in a new way (i.e. The Father's love)


8 Biblical fellowship and disenculturation (unity, mission, prayer, etc.)


9 Resistance & persecution to what God is doing


10 A greater devotion to God in prayer both corporately and privately
