Our God loves us deeply and longs to be in a relationship in which we receive the spiritual and physical blessings he wants to give us. We, as individuals and as churches, suffer great loss when we fail to ask God for these blessings. These blessings can change our lives, invigorate our churches, transform our communities, and even alter the course of history! Best of all, they are available to every believer and every church if we will only pray for them in faith and obedience. I want to help God's people engage in serious prayer and become a living display of what God can can accomplish here on earth. I don't want any of us to suffer the tragedy of a life summed up by these words from Scripture: "You do not have, because you do not ask God"(James 4:2.)

HOW WILL REVIVAL COME?
HOW WILL REVIVAL COME?
Revival will not come through promotions.
Revival will not come through hot dog suppers.
Revival will not come through bringing in a special guest
or a group of evangelists.
Revival will come when God's people
begin to pray, pray, pray and pray.

A Call to Anguish - David Wilkerson
"A Call to Anguish!"
by David Wilkerson
This is a passionate message by David Wilkerson calling on a return to Biblical Christianity, the Faith of our Fathers. That faith was based upon the people of God involved in desperate prayer, calling out to God in anguish for lost loved ones, a country going to hell and a church gone astray. Oh that we return quickly to that place of anguish!!

Taking Prayer to the Streets
TAKING PRAYER TO THE STREETS!!
Christians met in public in Liverpool, UK, to meet and pray for the economy, those who lost their jobs, and for those in need. This Christan group, called Guerrilla Worship (Guerrilla warfare), took the Gospel to the streets!! It is time Christians arise and go on the offense against the kingdom of Satan! As Second Chronicles 7:14 declares, "If MY people will humble themselves and pray!

Persistent Prayer

Revivals Come Because of Persistent Prayer
by R. A. Torrey
We find right here why it is that many prayers fail to accomplish that which we seek from God. We pray and pray and pray, and are almost up to the verge of the attainment of that for which we are praying, and right then, when God is just about to answer the prayer, we stop and miss the blessing. by R. A. Torrey
For example, in many churches and communities there are those who are praying for a revival. The revival does not come at once, it does not come for some time, but they keep on praying. They have nearly prayed through. They are right on the verge of attaining what they sought, and if they would pray a little longer, the revival would break upon them. But they get discouraged, throw up their hands and quit. They are just on the border of the blessing, but they do not cross into the Promised Land.
In January 1900 or 1901, the faculty of the Bible Institute of Chicago instituted a late prayer meeting Saturday nights from nine to ten o’clock, to pray for a worldwide revival.
After we had been praying for some time, a thing happened that I knew would happen. People came to me, or to my colleague who was most closely identified with me in the conduct of these meetings, and they would say, "Has the revival come?"
"No, not as far as we can see."
"When is it coming?"
"We don’t know."
"How long are you going to pray?"
"Until it comes."
And come it did—a revival that began there in that prayer meeting room of the Bible Institute in Chicago, then broke out in far-away China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, India, and swept around the world, with most marvelous manifestations of God’s saving power—not merely through Mr. Charles Alexander and myself, but through a multitude of others in India, Wales and elsewhere. In Wales, for example, under Evan Roberts and others, it resulted in one hundred thousand professed conversions in twelve months.
I believe that God is looking to us today to pray through again.
Saved After Fifteen Years of Daily Prayer
My first winter in Chicago, after fifteen years of praying, never missing a single day, one morning God said to me as I knelt, "I have heard your prayer. You need not pray anymore; your brother is going to be converted."
Within two weeks he was in my home, shut in with sickness which made it impossible for him to leave my home for two weeks. Then the day he left he accepted Christ over in the Bible Institute in Mr. Moody’s office, where he and I went to talk and pray together.
I told this incident when holding meetings in a certain city. An elderly woman came at the close of the meeting and said, "I have been praying for the conversion of my brother, who is sixty-three years old, for many years; but a short time ago I gave up and stopped praying." She added, "I am going to begin my prayers again." Within two weeks of that time she came and said, "I have heard from my brother, and he has accepted Christ."
Oh, men and women, pray through; pray through; pray through! Do not just begin to pray and pray a little while and throw up your hands and quit; but pray and pray and pray until God bends the heavens and comes down!
