Acts 2:46-47 KJV
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

The early church's revival and progress was connected to the unity and consistency in their midst.
They were in fellowship together, they met daily in the temple, and we're happy and satisfied with what God gave them.
Revival makes everyone's heart to desire and please God, and will bring some certain result.
"Proverbs 16:7 KJV
When a man's ways please the Lord , he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."
From our text, we can see they were praising God and having favour with all the people. Most revival movements gets to the of general acceptance before general persecutions and oppositions.
What makes the revival survive is how the period of general acceptance was handled. The Apostles did this with unity and they made great progress, they turned the world upside down before, during and after persecutions.
"Acts 14:1-2 KJV
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. [2] But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren."
The great outcome of unity and consistency in the revival, is that God adds to the church daily such as should be saved.
The wind of such revival is blowing now and the Lord will multiply His church completely, the church will no longer be filled e people who would not be saved.
