Agenda
Word, Worship and Prayer - Welcoming the presence of the lord.
God waits for a cry! He waits for the sound of distinction to penetrate the deepest realms of His Glory.
God waits to hear the voice of the hungry and thirsty.
God waits — but who will cry out?
Our generation must recognize the necessity of Prayer and be willing to go back to The Altar if we desire true Revival.
Without Prayer, there is a danger of a whole generation passing without the transformative power of God.
Revival is not achieved through preaching alone, but through the fervent and dedicated prayers of believers….
It is a call for our generation to recognize the significance of prayer and to make it a priority in our lives.
Prayer is not an easy task, but it requires sacrifice, labor, and humility.
Just as the saints of old understood the power of prayer, we must also understand that our prayers are not just mere words, but a demonstration of our commitment to God and His will.
When we come before God in Prayer, He sees our sacrifice and the labor we put into seeking Him. He acknowledges our willingness to humble ourselves and depend on Him for guidance and direction.
Prayer is not just a religious duty, but an act of deep love and devotion to God.
In The Realm of God, Prayer is considered a significant Sacrifice: But who will cry out?
What is Christian Revival?
Christian revival refers to a spiritual reawakening from a state of dormancy or stagnation in the life of a believer. It encompasses the resurfacing of a love for God, an appreciation of God’s holiness, a passion for His Word and His church, a convicting awareness of personal and corporate sin, a spirit of humility, and a desire for repentance and growth in righteousness.
Revival invigorates and sometimes deepens a believer’s faith, opening his or her eyes to the truth in a fresh, new way. It generally involves the connotation of a fresh start with a clean slate, marking a new beginning of a life lived in obedience to God. Revival breaks the charm and power of the world, which blinds the eyes of men, and generates both the will and power to live in the world but not of the world.
God, through His Holy Spirit, calls us to revival in a number of situations. Christ’s letters to the seven churches reveal some circumstances that may necessitate revival. In the letter to Ephesus, Christ praised the church for their perseverance and discernment, but He stated that they had forsaken their first love (Revelation 2:4-5).
Many times as the excitement of acceptance to Christ grows cold, we lose the zeal that we had at first. We become bogged down in the ritual, going through the motions, but we no longer experience the joy of serving Christ.
Revival helps restore that first love and passion for Christ. Revelation 2:10-11 refers to the church at Smyrna, which was suffering intense persecution. The cares and worries of life can beat us down, leaving us emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausted. Revival can lift us up to new hope and faith.
Revelation 2:14-16 talks about the problem of compromise with the world and incorporating worldly values into our belief systems. Revival helps us to rightly discern what values we should hold. Revelation 2:20-23 discusses the problem of tolerating false teaching in our churches. We need to examine the messages that we hear and compare them to the message of the Bible.
Revival helps us to find the truth. Revelation 3:1-6 describes a dead church, a church that goes through the motions outwardly, but there is nothing underneath. Here is a picture of nominal Christianity, outwardly prosperous, busy with the externals of religious activity, but devoid of spiritual life and power. Revival helps to resuscitate spiritual life.
In Revelation 3:11, we are further warned against complacency, a life that does not bear fruit. All of these scenarios call for revival.
The evidence of revival is changed lives. Great movements toward righteousness, evangelism, and social justice occur. Believers are once again spending time in prayer and reading and obeying God’s Word. Believers begin to powerfully use their spiritual gifts. There is confession of sin and repentance.
