Praying for Revival: A Five-Day Devotionनमूना

The Power of Personal Obedience

Though revival comes only through prayer, we must also personally prepare for God’s outpouring. Obedience is key. God shows us what to do, but we’re sometimes reluctant to obey.

What has God called you to do? Will you do it? If you don’t know how to proceed, ask God. He will not only show you what to do, but he will also do it through you. In the Christian life and especially in revival, we are vessels, as God pours his Spirit into us.

Ask, obey, and see the fruit of your labors.

“Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person’s seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and, depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next.” —Elisabeth Elliot

PRAYER PROMPT: Lord, you require no burnt offerings from me. You ask for no unreasonable sacrifice. You only ask for my obedience. Show me what you would have me to do. Empower me with your Spirit. Breathe into my being the personal revival that seeks your will. I ask this for all of us praying for revival. May our obedience bring forth lasting fruit— revival fruit.
