Every great revival in church history has been birthed in the prayer room. Discover why prayer must always precede breakthrough.
Church history is a chronicle of prayer-soaked revivals. From the Azusa Street Revival to the Welsh Revival, from the healing movements of the 20th century to the ongoing prayer movements across Africa — every great outpouring of God's Spirit began with people who prayed.
Prayer is not the preparation for the real work — prayer IS the real work. When we understand this, we stop treating prayer as a preliminary ritual and start treating it as the most strategic activity we can engage in.
Prayer as Partnership with God
God could accomplish His purposes without us. But in His wisdom and love, He has chosen to partner with humanity through prayer. He says in Ezekiel 22:30, "I searched for a man among them who would build up a wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land..." God is looking for prayer partners, not just church attenders.
When you pray, you are not informing God of problems He doesn't know about. You are partnering with Him to release heaven's solutions into earth's situations.
Building a Culture of Prayer
Revival doesn't happen to passive churches. It flows through churches that have cultivated a culture of prayer — where prayer meetings are attended with the same expectancy as Sunday services, where intercessors are honored and supported, where leaders model a personal prayer life.
At CAFA Int'l Church, we believe prayer is our greatest resource. We encourage every member to establish daily prayer rhythms and to participate in our corporate prayer gatherings. Together, we are believing God for a generation-defining revival.
