“There is no question in my mind that prayer was as central to the revival itself as it was to the preparation of it.”(Kilpatrick, 1995:72)
Dr A. T. Pierson once said,
‘There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer.”(Orr, 199)
Revival won’t come by teaching, great worship music or beautiful buildings. It is scripturally and experientially linked to prayer.
Isaiah 64:1 (NKJV) “Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence– 2 As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil-To make Your name known to Your adversaries, [That] the nations may tremble at Your presence!”
2Chr 7:14 (NKJV) “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.”
