Same here. Last Friday’s devotional was on revival as well and addressed that very issue, the starting it.
I too have seen lots of people long for and pray for revival, but don’t see it starting.
You are correct, instead of waiting for it to happen and joining it, we should be it ( so to speak) and go on whether anyone else joins us or not.
I will agree with you on that in prayer.
I’ve been carrying what I feel is a command from God to start a revival for about a year, even before I knew that “revival” means something different than “tent meeting”. I didn’t even know to call it “revival” until a few months ago. I just knew what I was called to do. Last week, I started something to let us begin to move in that direction by just telling the church that we have to do it. Judging from the response, I think others have been waiting for someone to step forward to lead us.
Can you give me a link to last Friday’s devotional?
