REVIVAL PRAYER
SERVE OTHERS IN LOVE
SERVE OTHERS IN LOVE
IS A PRAYER INITIATIVE WHERE WE LEARN TO INTERCEDE AND PRAY TO SEE BREAKTHROUGHS OVER IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS.
If we sincerely love and care for people, we would never forget to pray for their blessing and breakthrough. Our true love for people is often reflected in our prayers. Our God is epitome of love. He's given us His nature when we became His followers. We encourage you to pray for others with this understanding that we are His own. Let our prayers be generous and sincere toward others just as He intended it to be.
God begins His work when we pray such prayers. So let's put Him at work.
GLOBAL REVIVAL
"LET THE GLORY OF THE LORD COVER THE EARTH AS THE WATERS COVERS THE SEA"
Understanding Revival
We are born for Revival
REVIVAL CHANGES OUR VALUE SYSTEM AND THE WAY WE DO LIFE.
Revival in Latin means "live again" or "re-awaken". The scripture clearly emphasizes this truth: we are called to represent Him in all that we do, and this can only be achieved by submitting to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. There is no other way to walk in this truth. The birth of the Church occurred through the outpouring of God's Spirit, and it is fundamentally designed to operate under His direction. The only place where an individual can find meaning and purpose in life is in God, for He is the author of it. This is why we need revival. Its ultimate objective is to return us to the original purpose for which we were created, and that is the very reason we are alive.
IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES
AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS
THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND
INTERCESSION
A KEY TO DIVINE BREAKTHROUGHS
The primary calling of every believer is to stand in the gap and intercede for the manifestation of God's Kingdom in every aspect of their lives. The clearest depiction of intercession can be found in various biblical descriptions of heavenly beings. In Romans 8, Paul writes that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. In 1 John 2, John states that Jesus, our advocate, intercedes on our behalf. In Revelation chapter 5, we witness the worship and intercessory ministry performed by heavenly beings. These scriptural accounts demonstrate that intercessory prayer is central to our relationship with God. Therefore, we are called and encouraged to join the heavenly intercessory army to see His will accomplished on earth as it is in heaven.
HERE ARE SOME POINTS TO FOCUS WHILE PRAYING FOR REVIVAL
-
Eyes to see and ears to hear what the Lord is doing in our midst. (Is 43:19; Matt 13:15). Pray for eyes to see what the Holy Spirit is inviting us into as a family, community, and for the church at large. Pray for ears to hear what God is saying to and over us as individuals and as a community. We ask God to awaken us to rightly perceive what He is saying and doing in this new season, and we pray for grace to follow Him with great wisdom and faith.
-
Pray for the Gospel to go far and wide and for the Lord to raise up and send laborers to minister in the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for the Lord to fill us with His Spirit and give us courage to boldly proclaim the Good News. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives…” Is 61:1
-
Pray for our families as we step into this new season. Where war has been waged on our family structure, let the Lord shine His light and shower His mercy over us. Pray for our children to have hearts that seek the Lord, and a longing to walk in truth and know His love. Pray for leaders to rise in this generation who will live in righteousness and Godly character. Pray for marriages to be strengthened and upheld by the Holy Spirit. Pray for restoration of relationship and reconciliation where there has been offense. Pray for healthy Christ-like communities of believers to be raised up amongst us that minister in reconciliation and the grace and mercy of Jesus to restore people—body, soul, and spirit. (Psalm 68:4-6; 2 Cor 5: 14-21)
-
Pray for a Gift of Faith in order to apprehend what we perceive He is doing. “Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, ‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!’” (Mark 9:23 - 24). In this new year, we are praying for both the faith that grows by perseverance and faithfulness and for the faith of God to be greatly deposited in our hearts. When faith unites with the Word of God, we are able to receive the courage, tenacity, and focus we need to acquire and possess that which has been promised. (Hebrews 4)
-
Pray for the grace to let go of things that are weights and encumbrances, in order to apprehend all that He is inviting us into. (Hebrews 12:1) Pray for the humility to allow the Holy Spirit to show us anything that we cannot take into the next season, and the strength to lay those things down at His feet. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
-
Pray for the Church for a Great Awakening. Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon every household and for the Church to arise in the power of the Holy Spirit, for such a time as this. Pray for the world to come into the knowledge of Christ Jesus crucified and for the power of the Gospel to be living and active in our lives. (Joel 2:28; Psalm 57:8; Romans 13:1; Hebrew 4:12)
-
Pray for provision, resources and wisdom as we carry out the mandate we have been given for this new year. Pray for wisdom to receive the new wineskin the Lord has and to build and encourage one another. Pray for discernment to identify and tear down the lies of the enemy and give us wisdom and courage to bulid our lives upon the truths of God. (Psalm 127:1)
