PRAYER
AND REVIVAL

The prayer that sparks revival begins long before the countryside seems to awaken from its slumber in sin. It starts when men fall on their knees and cry out to God. That’s where true intimacy with God takes place and we begin the journey of being transformed into the image of Christ. And as men are transformed, the course of a nation can be changed.

Wellington Boone

When God has something very great to accomplish for his church it is his will that there should precede it, the extraordinary prayers of his people. When God is about to accomplish great things for his church, he begins with as remarkable outpouring of his spirit of grace and a desire to pray. If we are not to expect that the devil should go out of a particular person, who is in the grip of bodily possession, without extraordinary prayer, or prayer and fasting; how much less should we expect to have him cast out of the land without it.

Jonathan Edwards

Workers that are strangers to knee work may work up a temporary excitement, but never will be able to secure the copious outpourings of genuine revival power.

Martin Wells Knapp

Why should anybody pray for revival? Out of a concern for the glory of God.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
