Our opening scripture shows us that our prayers have a vital role in ensuring that the will of God is done on the earth, or even in the lives of others. This is why much of God's work has been delayed because of lack of prayer.
For instance, before the healing revival came in 1947, in 1942 and 1943, the Spirit of God began to stir the heart of Kenneth E. Hagin the desire to pray, and he will wake up everyday at 3am or 4am and pray for two hours or more. Then, one day he prayed for five hours and forty-five minutes and God spoke to him that there is coming a healing revival to America after the second world war, and it did come.
Therefore, in my study of the healing move of the Spirit in America, I noticed that many people were in prayer. God will wake them up in the night to pray. Why? It is because God's work on earth requires human collaboration.
Revival doesn't come just by you saying, “O Lord send revival.” You would have to take out time to pray by the help of the Holy Spirit for it. This is why the Bible tells us in Zechariah 10:1, “Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.” The rain of God's Spirit is what will bring about the revival we desire.
INSTRUCTION
Please I will encourage you to pray the prayer in Zechariah 10:1; today, for an outpouring of the Spirit upon our nation, our states and our cities.
For further study read:
Ephesians 6:18, Romans 12:12, 2 Timothy 1:3, Hosea 6:3, Joel 2:23-24, James 5:7.
DOING THE WORD
Pray for the rain of God's Spirit in our church services today, leading to the salvation of souls and healings.
