Prayer Pattern For Revival Coming Against the Enemy part 6 of 8

Loving Heavenly Father, You are the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?  I worship You and love You for being omnipotent, almighty and absolute in Your transcendent greatness and unequaled power.  Thank You that, no matter how formidable and threatening the forces of darkness become, those who are with us are always "more" than those who are with them.  I affirm that Your almightiness is unapproachable by any challenger and that Your power is full of glory.

I worship You, Heavenly Father, in the worthy merit of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I affirm that He is Lord to the glory of God the Father.  I hold all of His person and work directly upon my life as my protection during this time of prayer.  I choose to abide in His incarnation, His cross, His resurrection, His ascension and His glorification.

I come in humble obedience to use the weapons of my warfare against the darkness that is seeking to rule the people of my city, country and world.  I affirm that the weapons You have given to me to use are filled with divine power that is sufficient to demolish every stronghold Satan has built to hold back Your will and plan.

I confess the awful wickedness and sins that I, my family, me fellow believers and my culture have committed.  Wash me afresh in the blood of my lord Jesus Christ that there may be no hindrance to Your fellowship and blessing upon me.  I apologize to You for the offense against You represented in the wicked sins characterizing our culture.  I recognize that when people abandon themselves in such sinful rebellion, much ground is being given to Satan to rule in our culture.  My only hope is knowing that the finished work of my Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient payment for even these.  I ask You to bring about all that is necessary to grant us the gift of repentance and a broken humility before You.  I invite You to draw near to the people of our day until we are humbled and broken before You in a revival awakening greater than any that has ever been.

In the mighty name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I use the weapons of my warfare to demolish and weaken every throne, dominion, princely ruler, authority, power of darkness and wicked spirit in the heavenly realm that is organized and strategized to hinder revival.  I ask the Holy Spirit to hold the mighty power of the shed blood and finished work of my Lord Jesus Christ constantly against these strongholds to cause their destruction and defeat.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of his blood, I pull down all levels of the stronghold of _______.  (Choose items from the following list of areas of Satan's strongholds that you desire to pull down and smash.  You may think of other things.  The list is suggestive, not exhaustive.)

1.    Pornography
2.    Perverted sexual practices
3.    Adultery and prostitution
4.    Drug use and promotion
5.    Drug suppliers' protection
6.    Alcohol addiction
7.    Abortion practices and promotion
8.    Cursing and vile language
9.    Unbelief and humanism
10.    New Age teaching
11.    Occult promotion and activity
12.   Satan worship
13.    Television and media disgtortions
14.    Religious cults and isms (name those you know)
15.    Liberal theology promotion and false doctrines
16.    Divisive influences in the body of Christ
17.    Violence and crime
18.    Child abuse inall its forms
19.    divorces and family disunity
20.    Materialism and greed

29.    Promotion of hate, rage and violent anger
30.    Hindrance of the recruitment and funding of missionaries
31.    Pride, spiritual haughtiness and indifference
32.    Neglect of Bible study and prayer

I pull down these strongholds in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ and I  pray their wicked work back upon themselves.  I ask my loving Father in heaven to assign His holy angels to engage in direct combative defeat of these strongholds of evil.  I bind the work of evil powers in each of these strongholds and I invite the Holy Spirit to unleash His mighty convicting power upon the people who are in bondage to them.  I ask Him to exalt the ways of righteousness before the spiritual understanding of such people and to convict them deeply of their accountability to God in coming judgment.  I ask the Holy Spirit to open their spiritual eyes to see their need for the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  May this revival for which I pray bring multitudes into a saving relationship with Him.

I address my prayer against the strongholds assigned to keep God's people from believing You for revival awakening.  surely, there must be many that are working to make Your people lukewarm, satisfied with our materialism and blind to our spiritual needs.  I pull down all such strongholds, named and unnamed, and I pray for a great moving of the Holy Spirit to bring to us a hungering and a thirsting after righteousness.  May the Holy Spirit arouse in Christ's Body an insatiable appetite to memorize, study and know God's Holy Word.  In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ I plead for a revolutionary revival to visit my heart, my family, my church and the whole body of Christ until it spills over upon the world around us and brings many souls into glory.  Amen.

Prayer Pattern For Revival Protection From the Enemy part 5 of 8

Loving Heavenly Father, I worship you as the provider of my protection from the hurtful, murderous intent of my enemies.  "See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me"  (Psalm 25:19).  I desire to not passively assume my safety but to stop deliberately with faith and understanding into that victory You have provided.  Teach me how to appropriate my victory.  I am listening for wise insights from You even as I address You in prayer.  Teach me deeper love and understanding of Yourself even as I open my whole person to You right now.

I plead that might name You have exalted about every name -- Lord Jesus Christ -- over my personal life an my walk with God; over my wife (husband), my children and all for whom I am responsible in my family; over the ministry You have given to me and all for whom I am responsible in ministry.  I hold the name of my Lord Jesus Christ over Your church and all of Your will and plans for the bringing of revolutionary revival.  I worship my Savior.  I affirm that He is Lord -- He is Jehovah God -- the more we know of Him the more we know of You.  He is Jesus, Savior.  He is my Savior -- here is no Savior but Him.  I worship Jesus as the one who took away my sins.  He is the Christ -- the Anointed of God.  He is the anointed Prophet who proclaimed the way and who is the way.  he is the anointed Priest who offers a better sacrifice and is Himself that sacrifice for sin.  He is the anointed King who now rules in His sovereign power and who will one day rule as King of kings and Lord of lords.

I seek to abide in my Lord Jesus Christ and to hide in the protection of His almightiness and my oneness with Him.  I abide in His incarnation, His humanity.  How wonderful that You planned that our Savior should be one of us.  The mystery of that remains beyond my capacities for understanding.

I abide in the surety that He experienced all of Life's temptations and never failed to meet sin's fullest challenge.  He fulfilled all righteousness.  He obeyed every particle of Your expectancy for us as expressed in Your Law.  As one of us, He pleased You, His Heavenly Father, as a child, as a youth and as an adult in every aspect of His life.

Thank You that as one of us He completely overcame sin.  In His humanity, He never yielded to sin's enticements, though He was made in "the likeness of sinful flesh."  The world was never able to entice Him to accept its values or to press Him into its mold.  Thank You that though Satan himself and all of his demons tried to cause Him to sin,  in His humanity He willed not to sin.  With joy I enter into His sinless, worthy human life and expect Your blessing because You have placed His worthiness upon me.  There is safety and peace here and I abide in it.

By faith, I abide in the death and sufferings of my Lord Jesus Christ.  I claim the shelter of His precious blood over myself and those for whom I am responsible.  It was in the work of His sufferings and the cross that You have removed the guilt of my sins.  Cleanse me through His blood from all sins of omission and commission that would hinder my fellowship with You.

I abide in the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus Christ who "destroyed him who had the power of death, that is the devil."  I hold the victory of the cross against the devil and all of his kingdom.  In the power of the sufferings and shed blood of my Savior, I resist all of Satan's efforts to harm me or those for whom I am responsible.

I affirm the mighty triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ in His resurrection from the dead.  In the practical outliving of my life today,  I desire to be clothed with that same mighty power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.  In His resurrection power enable me to walk in newness of life.  I address resurrection power directly against Satan and his kingdom in all his efforts to rule me and to hold back revival awakening from coming to Christ's church.

By faith, I enter into the ascension of my Lord Jesus Christ, where He is seated far above all principalities and powers.  Thank You, Heavenly Father, for raising me up with Christ and seating me with Him in the heavenly realms.  Teach me more perfectly how to rest in the safety of that lofty position and how to use that authority to pull down all of Satan's ruling tactics.

I abide in my Savior's glorification.  I submit to Your lordship over my life, my family and Your church.  I ask You to shepherd me in Your will and to hold me in the safety of Your faithful protection.  I ask You to shepherd Your church to revival awakening in this day of great darkness.

Heavenly Father, I reach out for Your Holy Spirit and the wonder of His work.  I rejoice that He came in fulfillment of the promise of both the Father and the Son.  I rejoice that He convicted me and brought me to Christ, opened my eyes to see and caused me to be born of the Spirit.  Thank You that He came to live within me the moment I was saved.  I invite the Holy Spirit to enable me to walk in Him, so that love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness, faithfulness and self-control may overflow from my life.  May others see this, especially those close to me.  May I see His fruit but most of all may His control be evident to You, O Lord.

I abide in His sealing, protecting work.  I abide in His having made me a member of Christ's body.  Help me to minister to the body of Christ today.  I depend upon Him to breathe His quickening life and power into me.  May the Holy Spirit pray through me and may He endue me with His power to witness of You before others.  I pray the mighty work of the Holy Spirit as God's "holy finger" directly against Satan and his kingdom.  May the mighty power of the Holy Spirit confront and defeat the devil in all of his hurtful designs for this day.  I ask the Holy Spirit to increase His powerful work of convincing our world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment to come.

By faith I reach out for the wholeness of Your armor, Heavenly Father.  I receive the girdle of truth and by faith I wear it.  Help me not to deceive or be deceived in any way.

I wear the breastplate of righteousness.  Having none of my own righteousness, I desire to walk in the adequate supply of Your righteousness.

Help me to walk in my shoes of peace.  I claim my peace with God through justification, my peace of God through prayer and the Spirit's work and the near presence of the God of peace who makes even my enemies to be at peace with me.

Be my shield today, dear Lord.  May Your presence hedge me in and quench all of Satan's flaming arrows.

Helmet my head with Your salvation.  May the Savior cover my mind to protect me from Satan's intruding thoughts.  May the Lord Jesus Christ think His thoughts in my mind today.

I receive the Word of God as the Spirit's sword.  Teach me to use it proficiently in my protection and in my witness.  Help me to memorize it and to know its power.

I thank You, Heavenly Father, that my victory in Christ is not merely protective.  You have provided me safety, so that I might be bold to address my Lord's victory against everything that opposes Your will.  In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I tear down all that Satan has strategized to hinder revival, I invite my living Lord Jesus Christ to sovereignly shepherd and lead His Church into all that is necessary to bring revival.  I invite the Holy Spirit to sovereignly move to prepare the people whom You have chosen to be the leaders in each phase of revival preparation. I invite the Holy Spirit to prepare those special servants through whom the call for revival will come.

I give myself to You, loving God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  In the worthiness of my Lord, and in the enablement of Your Holy Spirit, I offer myself to You for any purpose You may Have.  Through Jesus Christ my Lord, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Pattern For Revival Revival Prayer Groups part 4 of 8

Loving Heavenly Father, I worship You as the God who loves people.  You have declared in Your Word that You are patient with people, not wanting anyone to perish, and You have provided opportunity for everyone to come to repentance.  Thank You for Your patience that brought me to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  I praise You, Heavenly Father, for demonstrating Your love by having the Lord Jesus Christ die for ungodly people while we were still in our sins.  It is wonderful to know that You have loved humanity with such outreaching sacrifice that provides forgiveness and eternal life for all who will believe.  Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for praying for those who would believe in You.  Thank You for the other sheep that You must bring to Yourself.

I pray with You, dear Savior, for those other sheep that You must bring.  Multitudes are bound by sin and Satan, and I ask forgiveness for me and for other believers who have cared so little for those perishing people.  I acknowledge that the same sinful culture that blinds and binds the lost has made my heart cold and apathetic.  Please forgive me.  Grant me a burden for the lost around me.  I pray for (name persons you care for who are lost).  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I tear down the blindness Satan is putting upon _____.  I pray You will bring these dear ones to saving faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank You, Father in heaven, for the revival awakenings of history.  I praise You for giving revival blessings in various places even in recent years.  Thank You for opening my eyes to see the need for a revolutionary revival from Your omnipotent hands that will glorify You, startle the world, and bring multitudes into saving faith.  I ask You to grant me a burden for such a revival.  Help me to believe that it can come to my city.  I humbly offer myself as an intercessor for such an awakening.  Lead me to at least one other person with whom I can pray regularly for its coming.  I ask You to raise up revival prayer groups in every city, town, suburb and rural area of our nation.  I ask You to build a broad base of people nationwide who are expecting revival.  Grant to each group a consuming burden for You to bring revival.  Make the involvement of people broad enough so that when You sovereignly know we are ready, You will visit us with Your holy presence.  Your promise is that, as we seek to draw near to You, You will draw near to us.  I pray this nearness will truly be revolutionary.  Make it humble us, break us, revive us and change the direction of our disintegrating culture.

We desperately need a movement of Your mighty grace that will transform the lives of multitudes of people.  move our culture back to the absolutes of a Judeo-Christian ethic.  Grant to us a legal system with courts who fear God and establish justice.  Invade our penal system with such regeneration and reform that our jails will gradually empty until we wonder what to do with the unoccupied buildings.

I ask for such a transformation of our educational system that the humanistic, atheistic trends of our day will be completely reversed.  I pray this revival will touch every political leader, every business enterprise, and every ;person in the mass media and entertainment industry.  May revival clean up the music industry.  I ask that the poverty, drunkenness, drugs, immorality and violence so common to our inner cities be overwhelmed by the transformed lives of regenerated people who live there.  Bring the pornography industry to its knees through the repentance of the producers and consumers.  Melt the divorce scandal away into nothingness because of the righteous, forgiving, encouraging lives of families made right with You.

The need for revolutionary revival in the churches, Lord Jesus Christ, is perhaps the greatest need of all.  I invite You to walk among us who are believers and expose our sins as You see them.  Grant to Your church a thoroughly repentant spirit where jealousies, suspicions and competitiveness evaporate in the abundance of joy that revival brings.  I ask that every denomination and church that honors You and proclaims Your Word will so overflow with people that petty differences will disappear and worship the honors You will be established in the land.  Enable the people to enjoy their preference of worship style in the fullness of Your Spirit.

Loving Heavenly Father, we are people with needs far greater than we understand.  Come in the fullness and power of Your Holy Spirit and minister to them all.  I open my life to You.  Take every part of me and do with me whatever You know needs to be done.  I hold back nothing from You.  I believe there is sufficient grace supplies in the person and work of Christ to do far more than I have even begun to ask.  I acknowledge that the Holy Spirit is mighty enough to humble a whole world with conviction of sin and the exalting of righteousness.   I acknowledge, Almighty God, that You can quickly bring a world to judgment, or to revival.  In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I plead for revolutionary revival to sweep over us like a fire that cannot be quenched.  Amen.

Prayer Pattern For Revival Repentance and Intercession part 3 of 8

Loving Heavenly Father, I come again to worship You in the wonder of who You are.  I approach You in the merit and worthiness of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I open my whole being to the controlling work of Your Holy Spirit.  I invite Him to express His interceding, His groaning through my prayers in the ways that He may choose.  I yield to You, Heavenly Father, all of the faculties and capacities You have placed within me to be used for Your glory.  I open my mind, will and emotions to You that You might share with me Your burden for the church and for the lost around me.

I rejoice that my Lord Jesus Christ could weep over the people of Jerusalem as they passed up His presence and His caring love for them.  Cleanse me of the coldness and indifference that keeps me from shedding tears for the rebellious sin of today.  Share with me His tears.  Allow me to feel the mourning of Your Spirit's groaning for my broken world.  Grant me Your divine intervention expressing in me a willingness to fast and to spend time in extended sessions of prayer.  Help me see those times when I awaken in the night as opportunities to cry to You for a revolutionary revival to visit Your church.  What I pray for myself I pray also for a large number of other believers whom You are calling to a deeper prayer burden.

I confess my sins to you, dear Heavenly Father.  Wash me clean in my Savior's precious blood from all that offends You.  I recognize within my person a fleshly nature that can be rebellious in Your sight.  Thank You for informing me of this fact in Your Word.  I affirm that in my union with Christ in His death I am dead to the rule of that fleshly nature.  I desire the new nature You effected within me to be in charge through the power of my Savior's resurrection.  Thank You for having made this new creation in righteousness and true holiness, so I can love You deeply and serve You fully.  May Your Holy Spirit enable me to manifest before You and others the fruit of His full control.  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bind Satan and his host from interjecting any interference in my prayer.

I bring to You, Heavenly Father, the sins of my family, the church, and the culture in which I live.  What great wickedness takes place in our homes.  Thank you that it's not hidden from You.  I repent of it for my family, other Christian families and non-Christian families.  You established the home, and it's very dear to you.  Forgive us for the way we too often talk to each other in anger and unkindness.  How broken You must be over the physical, verbal and sexual abuse that is too much a part of the families in our culture.  I not only confess this wickedness but I ask You to intervene and change it by Your mighty power.  Show us our sins and grant us the grace of repentance.

I recognize that the sins of our nation and culture are an abomination in Your eyes.  I repent for our culture of the terrible abuse of our sexuality.  The misuse of this God-given gift is a curse upon our times.  I apologize to You, Heavenly Father, for the abomination of pornography and the wide audience that makes it profitable.  Turn our hearts from this perversion.  You intended that our sexual desires should glorify Your name within the bonds of marriage.  May this take place in our culture.

I repent before You, loving God, for the violence against innocent people that has invaded our culture.  My heart grieves as Yours surely does for those millions of unborn babies that have been destroyed by legalized abortions.  I repent for our legislators and court judges, and for the people who let it go on.  Forgive and change the violence displayed in the entertainment media, in the inner city, and in the drug scene.  I apologize for the burgeoning market for drugs and other intoxicants.  My heart grieves for the cursing and vile talk that streams forth from people's mouths.

I see spreading through our culture a plague of fascination with the spirit realm of darkness.  It poisons our little children in the theme of their toys, games and cartoons.  It permeates our entertainment media.  It subtly is becoming a part of the business and educational world through various "New Age" themes.  A growing host of people are so deceived that they are worshiping Satan with animal and even human sacrifices.  How terribly this dishonors You, O Lord, I cry out against it in prayer and I repent for them of this awful wickedness.  I ask You to bring a revival awakening so intense that these things will be crushed by Your omnipotent  power.

Forgive us for all our wickedness, O God.  The sin of our land is so great.  Religious sins of unbelief, legalism and self-righteous pride abound.  Greed, covetousness, gluttony, gossip and spiritual indifference are almost as common to believers as to the lost.  We desperately need a holy revival from You to confront our sins and bring us to humble repentance and spiritual renewal.

My hope, Heavenly Father, is in the promises of Your Word.  Thank You for Your compassion for us in our sinful ways.  In our arrogant lifestyle, we say to you,  "I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing."  I repent of that!  I confess that, as believers, we show our wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked condition.  I accept that analysis by my Lord Jesus Christ as applying to me and my fellow believers.

Thank You that our Lord Jesus Christ has invited us to come and buy from Him gold refined in His disciplining fires.  I want that gold for me and for Your church.  I ask for the white clothes that my Lord Jesus Christ promised would cover our nakedness.  Anoint our eyes with the eye salve that enables us to see things as our Lord Jesus Christ sees them.  I open the door of my life to my Lord Jesus Christ.  I invite Him to come to me, to the church and to our day giving us a mighty sense of His holy presence.  May His nearness break us over our sins until we flee to the cross for cleansing by His blood.  May this revival for which I pray bring to saving faith multitudes who are not yet in our Savior's fold.  Heavenly Father, move everything out of the way that hinders the coming of revival.  Cause revival to affect churches, legislators, courts, business, education, government and all that is before You.  Will You not revive us again?

I lay all of this before You, Heavenly Father, basing every request on the merit and worthiness of our Lord Jesus Christ alone, and His finished work.   I ask that You build a faith within me and countless other believers that is growing and contagious, and that rests totally upon Your will and plan for us in this day and upon the foundation of Your Word and the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer Pattern For Revival Teach Me to Know You part 2 of 8

Loving Heavenly Father, I come before You in this time of prayer to open my heart to You about the brokenness and need I see about me.  I see great needs in my own heart, in my family, among my fellow believers and in my culture, community and world.  Teach me to care, and to pray about those needs as Your servant Nehemiah learned to pray.  I long to honor You as the "God of heaven, the great and awesome God,"  whose greatness is sufficient to meet the urgent needs of this day.  I long to love and worship You, Heavenly Father, as You are worthy to be worshiped.  I do love You; not as perfectly as I one day will, but I do love You and worship You now.  Teach me to know You.  Even as I worship You this moment, grant me new insights into Your greatness and sufficiency.  As I speak to You, please speak to me.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, that You are omnipotent, almighty and sovereign.  I praise You that it was no threat to Your sovereign omnipotence to create Satan and all of the angels who fell, even though You foreknew they would rebel against You.  Thank You also, that it was no threat to Your sovereign omnipotence to create man in Your own likeness and image, even though You knew man would fail the test and would sin.  I sense comfort and assurance from such a great and awesome God who could keep it all within His sovereign oversight and controlled limits.  I rejoice that even the great needs of this day are no threat to Your omnipotent power and sovereign design.

I pray for a revolutionary revival to come from Your sovereign hand and I affirm that Your omnipotence is sufficiently strong to bring it to pass.  I affirm that Your omnipotent power is sufficient to humble the most hostile arrogance of man in a moment of time.  I affirm that Your omnipotence is able to bring to nothing the most careful strategy and plan of Satan and his kingdom.

By faith I hold Your omniscient knowledge and Your total awareness in perspective as I pray.  Thank You that there is no wickedness or sin that escapes Your knowledge.  Thank You that the cross and redemptive work of our Lord Jesus Christ was sufficient to enable You to forgive the wickedness of man.  I praise You that in Your ominiscience You were able to apply His atoning blood to cleanse away the guilt of all my sins;  none were missed.  I hold Your omniscient understanding over the tragic conditions of the wicked rebellion of our ageand ask You to humble us and bring us to repentance before You.

I worship You in the wonder of Your omnipresence.  With the psalmist I acknowledge:  "Where can I go from your spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there.  If I make my bed in the depths you are there."   Thank You that You are present wherever the dawn rises.  In all of the extremities of space and in all of Your creation, You are there.  Thank You that You inhabit eternity itself.

I rejoice that Your presence is as much with us in our day as it was there in the revival awakenings of history.  I ask You to unveil Your presence among us.  I invite You to draw near to us that we might experience the brokenness and the awareness of our sinful need that Your presence brings.  I affirm that revival comes as people become broadly aware of the near presence of our Holy God.  I hold Your mercy and Your grace before You as providing sufficient ground for the fulfillment of the cry of my heart.

I exalt Your unchanging perfection in all that You are;  that You are the same yesterday, today and forever.  Thank You that Your promises are trustworthy.  I believe that if Your people unite with You in the wonder of Your person and will seek Your face in humble prayer, You will hear.  I affirm my desire to turn from all my wicked ways and I cry out to You to hear from heaven, to forgive our sins and to heal our land.  In Your immutable, sovereign plan, I look to You to effect all that is necessary to bring us to revival.   

I exalt Your justice, Heavenly Father.  I rejoice that You will one day banish all evil forever from Your presence in Your perfect plan of holy wrath.  I also rejoice to see Your justice and truth displayed in loving mercy at Calvary.  I acknowledge that Your holy wrath was requited by the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Thank You for being willing to place upon Your own Son the judgment that we, who have received Your grace instead, deserved.  The wonder o f that escapes my full capacity to understand.  Yet, I know that Your justice, shown in such mercy and grace, remains at the very core of my prayer for revival.  I ask for Your justice to draw near to us.  I acknowledge that our culture deserves what came to Sodom, and to the earth in Noah's day.  I plead rather for the justice that came at Pentecost.

Thank You that many of those same people who cried out for Christ to be crucified, cried out at Pentecost in broken repentance,  "What shall we do? What shall we do?"  Do it again, oh God.  Judge us not with wrath as You did Sodom , but judge us with terrible conviction of sin until repentance flows down before You in rivers of tears.

You are wise and truthful, and faithful to Your Word of truth.  I marvel and wonder after Your patient endurance with us.  I acknowledge that I ask of You a hard thing.  Thank You that You remain transcendent above all of the chaos upon this earth.  I rejoice that, in the infinite greatness of Your highness and loftiness, You abide in the divine stillness of Your perfection.

I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness.  I know it will necessitate a revolutionary revival for such righteousness to touch our culture in large degree, but in Your greatness, You can bring it to pass.  As I worship You in Your greatness, I claim the Word of Your promise:  "For this is what the high and lofty one says -- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: 'I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite'  "(Isaiah 57:15).  I ask that You would bring the truth of that loving promise to reality in my life and my culture.  I affirm that there is sufficient merit in the name and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ to accomplish even more than I ask.  It's in his name I pray.   Amen.

Prayer Pattern For Revival Introduction part 1 of 8

Written prayers are not a help to everyone.  Some believers prefer to do their praying out of their own minds and hearts.  These written pattern prayers for revival are not meant to curtail spontaneous prayer.  Written prayers can be helpful when used correctly.  There are many written prayers recorded in God's Word that provide pattern and direction for our own praying.  Memorizing the prayers in the Psalms or other portions of the Word provides wonderful help as you pray them back to God out of your own heart.

These prayers are provided to help believers learn to pray doctrinal truth in their revival intercessions.  It is a good practice to write out your own prayers and keep them close so that you can pray them back to God during your shut-away times with the Lord.  Taking time to write down careful expressions of God's Truth greatly honors Him.

I do trust that prayer burden for revival will build in the body of Christ.  I urge each believer to set aside a daily time when a revival prayer focus is expressed.  These prayers may be reproduced for free distribution when the following credit is attached:
