It believes in the power of salvation and to turn away from sin and other desires, and to fear God and his punishment to those who provoke him. The "Great Awakening" begin around the 1730s, followed by the second one during 1800-1840 and the third one during 18890-1910 before the strong fervor calmed and was soon diminished. This holy period change the face of America's history forever and are embedded into their hearts for generation to come.
