WHEN should I pray for Revival?
When we know something must be done.
For the disciples, the storm was a wake-up call.
Before that moment they were going through their daily lives.
They were doing something that was second nature to them.
Riding the sea was nothing new.
But that day, these fishermen found themselves faced with something all their experience, all their days at sea could not prepare them for: The Storm.
When we realize we can’t do anything about it.
Desperation is the key to revival.
We noted this last week.
When we cry out to God in worship and prayer, our desperation can draw us closer to Him.
The gift of desperation is God’s presence.
When I’m Desperate, I cry out for help.
When we believe God is the only one who can.
HOW should I pray for Revival?
Be INTENSE
The disciples were intent in their praying.
There was not time for niceties or rambling speech.
They were desperate and they came to him
“TEACHER!
Do you not care we are perishing?”
That’s not a lackadaisical question.
It’s not a prayer of apathy.
Like Nehemiah in Nehemiah 1, it’s a prayer of intensity.
Be TRANSPARENT
Often in the psalms and in the prayer of the disciples here, we find this questioning.
An entreating.
Over and over we see the questioning.
Why do you stand far away?
Why do you hide yourself when evil abounds?
Why do the wicked renounce you?
Do you not care that we’re perishing?
Yes the disciples were rebuked and encouraged by Christ to have faith, but our faith if grown as we question God, and we see in the Psalm, prove himself in the midst of the questions.
So pray in your weakness.
Pray in the midst of your doubts like the man who said, “I believe, forgive my unbelief.”
Be GOD-GLORIFYING
We should not only pray with intensity and transparency, we must pray scripture based, God-glorifying prayers.
All prayer is agreeing with the glorious will of God the Father.
When we pray, we are agreeing with God.
That’s why we say Amen.
Amen is a Hebrew word that means, As You Say, or So Be what you say.
When we say Amen we are saying, “God, What you have said, you do.”
That’s why the model prayer say, “YOUR kingdom come, and YOUR will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
Be PERSISTENT
