Usually, when we speak of revival, we are thinking about the impact it will have on the world around us. Millions of people will be saved. Certain kinds of movies and TV shows will no longer be made because there will no longer be an audience for them. Standards of right and wrong will again be established and recognized by a majority of the population. These are wonderful things to pray for.
But please be aware of the way this usually starts. It usually starts in the house of God. It usually starts when God pours out His Spirit on His people. I am praying that very, very soon God will become more real to us than we have ever imagined He could be. That we will have more of His power, His love, and His peace than we ever expected to have in this life.
God is all we really need or want, whether we know it or not. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a great awakening so that we all became so happy in God that we weren’t really paying any attention to the economy or material things? Wouldn’t it be great to become so happy in God that we are just as serene with or without a job or a good salary? Let us pray for the blessing of God on our nation, and yes, pray for the health of the economy because Christian giving fuels the doing of many, many good deeds in the world. But all of that is secondary to the spiritual condition of the people in our society. Pray for a great awakening. Pray for God to be glorified. Pray for millions of souls to be saved.
