Revival and the Prayer of Power (1 of 3)
Series: Foretaste of Revival

Psalm 127:1
OPEN: A woman told of their family moving into a new house in town after years of living on a farm. Early the next morning, their 3 year old boy ran into the bedroom to wake them. ''I dressed him and told him to play in the yard and to quit bothering us.''
About 20 minutes later, he came running back. ''Mommy, Mommy! Everybody has doorbells and they all work!''
Starting April 1st (NO FOOLING) we'll be having our 1st Revival Meeting in nearly 30 years. When the Elders started talking about this (several months ago) I decided to ask several Revival speakers what to do to make this Revival successful.

We need to... pray, pray and pray some more.
Psalm 127:1 says ''Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.''
Unless the Lord is in this revival, all our efforts will be in vain.
So we need to pray, and we need to pray seriously for this!
But... what is it exactly that we should be praying for?
I had a wise old preacher once tell me that when you pray, you need to be specific. You need to tell God exactly what you want His help with. If you are not specific in your prayers, how will you know if God has answered ...
