Revival. ( Acts 1 v 8 )

I  recently read about the revival that happened in 1949 in the Hebrides under the ministry of Duncan Campbell, but the one place it did not effect was the capital Stornoway. Why?, well there were doctrinal differences, some Christians ,opposed it, one of the reasons some ministers used  to undermine it was, that the preacher wore brown boots. black boots were the norm. It seems comical that anyone would take that serious, but they did, if this is true, it is tragic .I know God is sovereign so I wonder how  this fits into this, only God knows. The   country I come from Northern Ireland, in the past experienced revival, and left its mark to this day on the Provence of Ulster. Unfortunately  revival  in western countries is non existence, why?, I am sure there are many reason, that go further than brown boots. Revival often came as result of people praying earnestly ,pleading with God with tears, we cannot force revival but we are told , that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man can achieve wonderful things CP James 5  v 16..
