    The Author:

    Mathew Backholer is the author of much of the ByFaith website, he films and presents ByFaith TV and is the author of ‘Mission Preparation Training’.

    The author has also travelled to places of revivals (past and present) and spoken to those who witnessed or participated in revival, (or whose parents or friends have). The author has studied indepth over one hundred books on revivals and awakenings as well as listening (and watching on video) numerous sermons on revivals, some by revivalists themselves.

    The author, after years of diligent study and prayer for revival is convinced that across the globe, God is always doing a work amongst His people and the nations of the world. God does not slumber nor sleep and His fires of revival are continually scorching the land and setting hearts ablaze- many of these fires are known only to Him and those who were blessed to witness and partake of such a Holy Spirit phenomena.

    Written history only records certain revivals and no book or library could ever contain such a complete volume of accounts. The author hopes that by reading the book ‘Revival Fires and Awakenings’, the selection of thirty moves of the Holy Spirit and understanding the Holy Scriptures, God’s covenant promises, you to will be stirred to cry mightily unto God. Giving Him no rest, that He would come and heal your land and pour out His Spirit from on high. Turning the hearts of the children to their Father, and that the desert will blossom and the wilderness will become a fruitful bough.

    ‘And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; and also on My menservants and on My maidservant, I will pour out My Spirit in those days’ Joel 2:28-29.
