HOW TO PRAY FOR REVIVAL
We
have the solution to the world's need in
our hands. The Lord has promised that if
we meet the requirements, He will send the
answer. Let us pray for revival.
With
famine, disease, wars, natural disasters,
and chaos stalking the earth, the world is
in desperate need. However, the world's
greatest need is spiritual. The world
needs Holy Ghost revival.
Years ago the writer of Chronicles
recorded, "If my people, which are
called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; then will
I hear from heaven, and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land" (II
Chronicles 7:14). We have the solution to
the world's need in our hands. The Lord
has promised that if we meet the
requirements, He will send the answer. Let
us pray for revival.
