Prayers for Revival


Before God comes in Revival the people of God are found praying.  When God brought revival to Wales, God’s people had been praying.  When God came in Revival to Brownwood Texas in a spiritual wave that touched more than 100 college campuses it was the confession of the students that they had a lack of prayer in their life.  They began to pray and confess sin and God showed up. 

Before Charles Finney went to a city to preach, he would send Father Nash ahead of him to pray for the upcoming meetings.  Charles Spurgeon was known to have large groups of people who prayed during every service he preached.    The testimony is clear:  Churches who have witnessed the mighty working of God are engaging prayer.  Prayer plays a key role in the foundational component of Revival.

Jesus Himself declared that His Father’s house was to be a house of prayer.  (See Matthew 21:13)

Here is the reality today that we must face and accept:  A church that pleases God is a church that routinely and sincerely bombards heavens doors.
