A Call to Humility and Prayer
Friday, September 05, 2014
Andrew Murray said, "God must give, we must ask." The only solution to the problems we face today is revival and spiritual awakening. In seeking revival God has given the prescription in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14. Here are some thoughts to guide you in praying through this Scripture:
- Pray that God would show His mercy toward His people during times of judgment when the church needs revival (v.13). When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people,
- Pray for believers to return to the Lord in a prayer-centered relationship (v.14a). ...if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray,
- Pray for a spirit of sincere and genuine repentance and confession among God’s people (v.14b). ...if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face,
- Pray for revival and renewal to take place among God’s people as they repent and return from their sin (v.14c). ...if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
- Pray for God’s redemptive purposes among the lost multitudes to be accomplished as revival comes to His people and they are sent into the world (v.14d). ...if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
