Yes the holy spirit draws sinners to repent and many have converted, and become preachers.
There is no specific holy book for revivalism since it is a broad term that encompasses various religious movements and practices aimed at reviving spiritual beliefs and practices. Different revivalist movements may draw inspiration from a range of religious texts or teachings depending on their specific beliefs and traditions.
Pentecost was the day that God poured out his Holy Spirit on the Believers(later referred to as Christians). In Book of Acts, Chapter 1, Jesus appeared to his disciples after his Resurrection and told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came. The events in Jesus life was fulfilled on the days of the Jewish religious calendar. He was crucified on Passover Day. He was resurrected on Day of First Fruits. Pentecost was a Jewish religious Day that was scheduled exactly 50 days after Passover---thus the meaning of the word; Pentecost means "50". The Disciples were gathered together on Pentecost and praying when the Holy Spirit fell on them and they began talking in various tongues and languages. This was a tremendous event, because in the Old Testament part of the Bible only the High Priest or a few special leaders such as King David were said to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Of interest, in Book of Genesis, Chapter 11, man was trying to build a tower to the heavens. God saw this as man trying to reach god on their own means. God sent confusion to Man so they all began to speak in different languages and no one understood each other. This dispersed the people into different clans and nations. At Pentecost, God reversed this by giving all Christians the ablity to speak and understand each other.

The Rastafarian movement does not have a specific holy book. Instead, adherents draw inspiration from the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, and incorporate teachings from Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I. Rastafarians believe Selassie is a messianic figure and the embodiment of God on Earth.
The Holy Ghost - aka Holy Spirit The gift of the Holy Spirit has become the topic of much discussion in our day. Men and women of all persuasions and from all walks of life have become interested enough to search for greater understanding of this phenomenal spiritual experience. Capturing headlines, dominating the content of many religious periodicals, and generally creating excitement, this canon of apostolic faith deserves a sincere appraisal. The Facts The Holy Spirit is God. "God is a Spirit" (John 4:24). "There is . . . one Spirit" (Ephesians 4:4). To become a subject in the kingdom of God, Jesus said a person must be "born again," or "born of water and of the Spirit" (John 3:3-5). The birth of the Spirit and the baptism of the Spirit are synonymous terms. The Apostle Peter understood this truth as he spoke. to the multitude in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2:38). This experience was received by the Jews on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), the Samaritans (Acts 8:15-17), and the Gentiles (Acts 10:44-48), plainly indicating that it was meant for all people, regardless of race, creed, color, or station in life. The new birth, consisting of water and Spirit, was never set forth as being optional or unessential. "Ye must be born again" are the words of Jesus in John 3:7. Until a person is born of the Spirit, he cannot be called a "son" of God. The Privilege But why concentrate only on the absoluteness of the command? It is a blessed privilege to experience a release of spirit, finding freedom of soul and expression in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is no other experience similar to it. "Incomparable" is the only adequate description of this filling. The transition is to an entirely new realm and way of life. A complete transformation takes place. The soul has an empty place "in the shape of God" that nothing else will fit or satisfy. The baptism of the Spirit completely satisfies every longing of the soul. In this experience is fulfillment. The Evidence There are two major evidences of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The initial, outward evidence is speaking with tongues, which means speaking miraculously in languages the speaker does not know. Speaking with other tongues has been connected with Spirit baptism since the beginning of the church age. On the birthday of the New Testament church, the Day of Pentecost after Christ's ascension, approximately 120 disciples of Christ were inundated by the Spirit of God and "began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:1-4). The household of an Italian centurion received the same spiritual experience, which the Jewish Christian onlookers readily identified, "for they heard them speak with tongues" (Acts 10:44-48). In Acts 19:1-6, a group of John the Baptist's disciples heard about the Holy Ghost from the Apostle Paul; they too were filled with the Spirit, "and they spake with tongues." We cannot adequately express with our own words the ecstasy experienced in the baptism of the Spirit. Only through unaccustomed words of heavenly coherence can we utter what our souls would express. There are perhaps several other reasons why God chose speaking in tongues as the initial evidence of this spiritual baptism. It is an objective, external evidence that recipients and onlookers can both identify with certainty (Acts 10:46). It is a uniform evidence-all the disciples on Pentecost, all the household of Cornelius, and all the believers in Ephesus spoke in tongues. "So is everyone that is born of the Spirit" are the words of Jesus in His description of this spiritual new birth (John 3:8). Speaking in tongues also indicates the complete control of the Spirit over our human wills. The tongue is the most unruly member of the body (James 3:8), and its being tamed by God is evidence of His complete control. Further evidence of the Spirit's abiding presence in our lives is the fruit of the Spirit, which Paul mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." The Promise Was the baptism of the Holy Spirit for the apostles or early disciples only? Is it today available to only a select few who are "superspiritual"? The obvious answer to these questions is no. The Apostle Peter made it very plain in his message on the Day of Pentecost that the gift of the Holy Ghost is for everyone: "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call" (Acts 2:39). (See Luke 11:13.) Our faith, obedience, and submission to the Lord Jesus and His gospel qualify us for this most joyous of all experiences. (See Acts 5:32; 11:15-17.) As Isaiah 12:3 states, "With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." Seek Him today, for "he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters" (Isaiah 55:1). This means you! Taken from the Word Aflame Press tract "The Gift of the Holy Ghost" - #156722072X
The Holy Spirit has never been absent. In the beginning, the Spirit moved over the waters. The Holy Spirit has moved the hearts of man to draw closer to God since then and has spoken through the Prophets. The Hebrew word Ruah (Roo-ahh, roll that "r") means simultaniously breath, wind and spirit. Anywhere you read in English one of those words in the New Testament (if not the Bible), you could just as well use either of the other two.

To draw it, draw a regular bear. DO NOT COLOR IT. Remember, spirit bears are white. If you don't know how to draw a regular bear, consult a drawing manual or the internet. If you still don't understand, find a picture of a black bear and PRACTICE. I used to stink at drawing, but now I'm fairly good. NO ART LESSONS ARE NEEDED.Clarification: Spirit bears and not actually white but usually a very light shade of tan.
Noah's ark is a symbol of God's salvation. The way of salvation is provided by God. The ark is a picture of Christ. In the story we see God's wrath against sinners but also His grace and patience in seeking to draw all men to repentance. God's sovereignty are shown in His control over creation. In God's instructions to Noah about how to build the ark we see His precise communication regarding His one way of salvation.

fiveImportant Observation:The Apostle Paul is called the apostle to the Gentiles as this was his special calling. The more pertinent question to me seems to be why would Paul, in each of his opening verses of the Epistles (Letters) attributed to him, never mention the Holy Spirit or anything even approaching a third person Godhead commonly referred to as the 'trinity?'. Not once does Paul's greetings link the Holy Spirit with the Father and Christ as a separate and distinct personality. Isn't this a bit strange to believers whose central or core belief states a trinity?The question then is would Paul ever dishonor or neglect the Person of God? IMO, it is highly improbable when reflecting upon Scripture. Yet, all can read each opening greeting and take note that Paul did not address the Holy Spirit vital to 'Christian life' as a person like Jesus or the Father. Each must draw their own opinion as this is just food for thought.
No. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is a fictional weapon from the comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It bears a striking resemblance to the Sovereign's Orb of the United Kingdom, and seems to draw some inspiration from the Holy Spear of Antioch.
