Praying for Revival — An Urgent Need in Today's Church.

Here are a number of articles that I've written in leading up to my sermon this week at Christ Fellowship Bible Church on revival.

Psalm 85:6-7  — Will You not Yourself revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You? Show us Your lovingkindness, O LORD, And grant us Your salvation.

1. Why Do We Not Pray for Revival?

2. Why Should We Pray for Revival?  Some Motivations.

3. Praying for Revival Through the Triune God and His Sovereign Work

4. Praying for Revival in the Church

5. Praying for Revival in the World

Isaiah 64:1-4 —  Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, That the mountains might quake at Your presence--   As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil-- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence!   When You did awesome things which we did not expect, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.  For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, Nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.
