Don’t Leave Without the Power: Pray For Pentecost!
Acts 1:1-8
Acts 1:1-8
God is offering us an amazing opportunity to live with real explosive Holy Ghost power. Enough of living on your own power! We’re done with churches running on people-power! God has promised His Power to flow in us and through us to transform this world. Hey, let’s not leave the Resurrection Celebration without the Power. We’ve got to keep pressing our way and stay faithful in prayer. What we need is a revival!
We all know we need a Revival, right? It is good to look back at our history as people of God to celebrate the Azusa Street Revival and other great moves of God, but God is calling us to pray for a Right Now Revival!
• We need laying on of hands power RIGHT NOW!
• We need miracle working power RIGHT NOW!
• We need to see signs and wonders RIGHT NOW!
• We need the power to love RIGHT NOW!
• We need the power to forgive RIGHT NOW!
• We need the power to maintain healthy relationships RIGHT NOW!
• We need…
• We need…
• We need…
No matter what we need, GOD HAS THE POWER!
There are too many struggling churches and too many struggling Christians barely surviving with no power, no joy and no peace. WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! There is nothing we cannot do when we pray according to God’s will and God’s Word. So, I invite you to Pray for Pentecost.
We are praying together 3 times a day: morning, noon and night. In addition to our regular prayer concerns, we must lift up concerns for the part of the Body of Christ of which we are members. Use this prayer strategy and we will experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit like never before.
Now, you already know that PRAYER and FASTING go together so chose a day to fast each week until Pentecost. Pray and make a decision about the type of fast you will do, but make sure you feel it.
Remember, God’s Holy Spirit will guide and pray for you as you pray (Romans 8:26-27). This tool is only to prime the pump.
