How far do your prayers carry revival?
So… you’ve got a heart to see the nations worshiping God in revival… but you’re stuck in some hick town in the good ol’ US… or the bush of Africa… or el distrito federal in Mexico….
We like to say there’s no distance in the Spirit, which I believe is true, but the question is - can our prayers for revival in a nation across the world from us REALLY have effect? I think this is a challenge for us as Christians who really believe we’ll see the glory of God cover the whole earth.
Do we have to be the ones to carry the message, OR do we have enough faith - enough of the Spirit’s power - working in our lives to send revival through our prayers? AND to trust that when we pray the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers… that He will? Whether it be us, or whether it be someone else that He positions in that nation?
There’s the challenge. Any believers out there? As I mentioned before, I am in the middle of a 100-day prayer saturation of Mexico, and I am taking this challenge seriously. Can I really make a dent in the spiritual condition of that nation - from Kansas City?
Here’s a great resource that will help your prayers (your life!) become more and more effective. It’s the message shared by Pastor Steve Gray, Saturday, September 20, 2008. Go to World Revival Church and check out the sermon archives or call 816-763-0708 to request this sermon. Cost is only $5.00 plus S&H. Well worth the investment if you really want to reach the nations with revival. -Laura Woodworth
