How do you start revival at a college campus? And experience the manifestation of the Holy Spirit?

Every true Revival came when a few people determined that they would pray and not relent until God answered and sent revival. Such prayer is not known in this generation because we want everything now. It is intense prayer accompanied with deep personal sorrow for ones own sin and weeping for the souls of those in and out of Christ who are not obedient and willing servants of the Lord.
It takes a rare individual indeed who is willing to sacrifice all that revival may come in his or her generation no matter what the location. I will guarantee you that you will be judged wrong and misunderstood by many because of your zeal for the cause of Christ and the salvation of souls if you decide to seek God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength until He rains down revival on you and those around you. If you keep your focus on God and prevail no cost will be too great!

What do you define a revival to be? First begin a revival within yourself and live the life Christ taught. Be open to enlightenment and don't look down on others because they don't believe what you believe. Don't be so narrow minded that you think science and philosophers don't know what they are talking about. Live seeking God, live in the light of the Holy Spirit, and live the life even when you feel empty. Pick up your cross and follow Jesus. Outside of that you are seeking nothing else but self gratification.

Manifestation of Holy Spirit? There IS no God, spirit or soul, anywhere! Those stories just got started when we were cave-men, when the Elders had bad mushroom-trips or endured near-death experiences and claimed they saw things with their oxygen-deprived brains. "You GOTTA believe what I saw, *I'm* an Elder!"
Can we just save college for learning about the real? U.S. colleges are in danger anyway, they don't put out enough scientists or doctors or engineers that people really need, colleges have become a Wal-Mart churning out Philo students with a 60-average who think they are being educated. Believing in invisible spirits only distracts you and prevents you from developing USEFULNESS.
I find it particularly amusing when they do the Speaking in Tongues routine -- but no sounds come out except as can be produced in the English language by Americans. Since I speak one or two extra languages I find this hilarious, never hearing an ü or a hard German ch sound, as if God thinks the world ends in Orange County.

Revive in yourself what you have forgotten. When you experience the Holy Spirit in yourself, there will be no confusion or questioning- What to do! What you possess you can share. What you do not have cannot be shared.

I don't even know what a revival is and don't understand what you're talking about. Manifestation of what?
Go drink some vodka and be merry! Life is ****** short!

Just stand on a wall and start preaching the Word of God. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you, that way you do not place your own words in to what you speak and let God do His thing. Have faith and always let Him guide you.

Times are getting dark, and it is unlikely these days...
If the people are not willing to change nor hear the truth.... well - they do have a free will, even if that means they are on a fast track to the abyss...
Look at the comments youre getting here, unbelief is all over.
scoffers...
Restoration or revival?

Why not just live and let live?
You should have enough to do just studying and being involved in campus life without trying to convert others.
Have a little prayer group or Bible study if you feel the need for like minded people but stop the need to convert.

PRAY and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.
HE will manifest HIMSELF as HE wills and where HE wills.
God Bless You.
