[Articles]

We join you in this deep cry for reformation, revival and true changes in society that only God can bring, and we agree together for the manifest presence of God among His people as you have prayed.

We love your heart for love perfected among us as in 1 John 4:17, and for God dwelling among His people as He desired in Exodus 25:8 where He said let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them, and as He showed when the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle in Exodus 40:34 and again when the cloud filled Yahweh's house in 1 Kings 8:10. We agree that where Jesus is, the power of the Lord is present to heal as in Luke 5:17, and we long for the outpouring as in Acts 2:1-4 and the shaking and filling as in Acts 4:31 where when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

We hear your cry from Isaiah 64:1 oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence, and we remember the sobering warning of Revelation 6:14-17 where the sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up and every mountain and island was moved out of its place and men will cry for the rocks and mountains to fall on them and hide them from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. We pray that many would be reconciled to God now through Christ before that day, for now is the day of salvation as in 2 Corinthians 6:2.

We agree for the fruit of the Spirit to be evident among us, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self control as in Galatians 5:22-23, and for truth, humility and justice as in Psalm 45:4, and that righteousness and peace would kiss as in Psalm 85:10 where mercy and truth meet together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other. We pray for humble yet loving teams that walk blamelessly and as one, yet diverse as each has been graced, for different gifts but the same Spirit as in 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 and 1 Corinthians 12:11-12, all working for the common good and forming one body in Christ.

We also agree for the tearing down of false doctrine and teaching, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds as in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, and that this is done by the washing of water with the word as in Ephesians 5:26 and by being sanctified in truth as in John 17:17 where your word is truth. We pray for holiness without which no man will see the Lord as in Hebrews 12:14, not as a striving in the flesh but as fruit of being set apart by Christ and walking in His Spirit.

We lift up this prayer together with you in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father as in John 14:6 and there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved as in Acts 4:12, and we thank God that you have prayed so clearly in Jesus name according to John 14:13-14.

Father in heaven, we come before you together in Jesus name and ask for fellowship with you and with your Son in the Holy Spirit as in 2 Corinthians 13:14 and 1 John 1:3, for bold, loving and accurate preaching of the gospel and for you to confirm your word with signs and wonders. We ask that you would grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness while you stretch out your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus as in Acts 4:29-30, and that the kingdom would be manifest with authority over demons as in Luke 11:20. Lord, help us to get our lives and message correct and to pay attention to ourselves and to our teaching as in 1 Timothy 4:16, and confirm the word that you suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended as Messiah, the Lord's true Anointed, as in Acts 2:22 and Mark 16:20 where they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. We thank you that this salvation was first announced by the Lord, was then confirmed to us by those who heard him and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will as in Hebrews 2:3-4. We thank you for your promises of relationship with Jesus as in Revelation 3:20 where behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with me, for protection as in Psalm 91:11-12, for forgiveness, healing, redemption, loving kindness and tender mercies as in Psalm 103:2-5, and for keeping us from sin, lies and fear as in Zephaniah 3:13 and from temptation as in Luke 11:4 and Matthew 6:13, from dangers including false brothers as in 2 Corinthians 11:26, from pride as in Psalm 36:11 and from the evil one as in John 17:15. We do not seek signs for their own sake, we are content to be as our Master as in Matthew 10:24-25, yet not our will but yours be done as in Luke 22:42. We ask for lasting righteousness and peace in our land, that you would humble your people to pray and seek your face and turn from wicked ways that you would hear from heaven, forgive sin and heal the land as in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Grant us grace to walk in love and truth and to see Christ formed in us until your church is a pure and spotless bride ready for your return. We thank you in advance by faith as in Mark 11:24 and Hebrews 11:6, trusting that every promise for life and godliness as in 2 Peter 1:3 and every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ as in Ephesians 1:3 are yes and amen in Jesus Christ as in 2 Corinthians 1:20, and we receive your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus as in Philippians 4:6-7. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

We hear how much you are carrying for the church and for our communities, a longing to see God present and at work, truth taught clearly, people walking in humility and love, and teams serving together as each has been gifted.

That kind of burden is a good gift, and we want to stand with you in it. One thing that has helped us when the vision feels so large is remembering that renewal is usually both an event God brings and a long process He forms in us. It is more like training for a marathon than a single effort to try harder. Small, steady practices over time, prayer, reading Scripture, honest fellowship, repentance and forgiveness, shape us to be ready to receive and to steward what God does.

It may help to narrow your prayer to a simple rhythm you can sustain with others. If you have two or three who share this heart, consider meeting regularly to seek the Lord together, to encourage one another, and to use your different gifts for the common good. Fruit grown over time often shows the health of that work more than any single moment.

Father, we thank You for this brother's hunger for Your presence and Your ways. Give wisdom, unity and steady faith to all who labor for the gospel, keep them humble and loving, and form Christ's character in us day by day. Guide our steps to walk faithfully with You. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your longing for reformation and revival, for the manifest presence of God to rest among His people, is a sigh that God Himself delights to hear. Let me therefore hasten to say, dear brothers and sisters, that the Lord is exalted when a Church begins to sigh and cry for the Lord's presence. When He bows the heavens and comes down, the mountains flow at His presence, and the Lord alone is exalted in that day. These are the signs of times of refreshing from His presence, when He has stained all pride and dimmed all human glory and magnified Himself.

You have asked for that presence which filled the tabernacle, which filled the temple, which rested upon the Lord Jesus so that the power of the Lord was present to heal, and which fell at Pentecost. Remembering the sweet familiarities of the Nazarene, it seems natural that He should manifest Himself to His own redeemed. He looks like a Lamb that has been slain, and His wounds forever remind the saints of His finished sacrifice, and He is there as our Representative. He has not forgotten His own chosen people, and even the sublimities of heaven cannot take His mind from them for a single moment. To desire fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, according to that blessed benediction in 2 Corinthians 13:14 and 1 John 1:2 to 4, is to desire what the covenant itself secures.

Yet with this desire must go that other word which you have rightly quoted, without holiness no one shall see the Lord, Hebrews 12:14. We are to follow holiness, that must be practical holiness, the opposite of impurity, as it is written, God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. Holiness excludes immorality, but morality does not amount to holiness, for morality may be but the cleaning of the outside of the cup and the platter, while the heart may be full of wickedness. What is required is not perfection of holiness, for then none of us could have communion with Christ, but a real, vital, personal holiness wrought by the Spirit. See, beloved, this perseverance of the saints is perseverance in holiness, they shall not depart from me. If the grace of God has really changed you, you are radically and lastingly changed. The law is more glorified by His atoning death than it was dishonoured by man's sin, and He has met the demands of moral government and made amends to holiness for man's offences.

You ask also for preaching with signs and wonders and authority, and for the tearing down of false doctrine by the washing of water by the Word. He who preaches the whole truth as it is in Jesus will labor under continual disadvantages, albeit, that the grand advantage of having the presence and blessing of God will more than compensate the greatest loss. The main instrumental cause of a great revival must be the bold, faithful, fearless preaching of the truth as it is in Jesus. Why, brethren, we want every now and then a reformation. The truth of God is something like those stalactite caverns and grottoes which you must enter and see for yourself if you would really know their wonders. Philosophers' words may teach us what holiness is, but God's Word makes us holy.

Concerning signs and wonders, hear this word with those who wait for them. The flesh being but weak, God in infinite tenderness to the weakness of His servants, gave them signs and wonders that they might be strengthened. Doubtless, if again there should come a necessity for signs to any of God's servants, such tokens would be given them. Yet signs have been given and yet have not worked faith in those who have seen them, and there is no necessary connection between seeing signs and believing that which the signs attest. Pharaoh saw the Nile crimsoned into blood and all Egypt filled with lamentation, yet his heart was hardened. Why, the Gospel itself is the greatest of signs and wonders. Why do you need more than that. We worship the God of wonders, who only does wondrous things. We have a Savior of wonders, is not His name called Wonderful, and did not Stephen say of Him, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by signs and wonders. In the Church we are permitted to expect wonders, and we should wonder if wonders do not happen, yet we must never attribute any special sorrow to some special sin, but rather see how God takes opportunity from the sorrows and the afflictions of men to make manifest His own works to His own glory, whether by holy patience, submission to the Divine will, or persevering holiness amid poverty and trials.

So I will pray with you as you have asked.

O Lord, rend the heavens and come down, that righteousness and peace may kiss in sweet communion between God and man, according to Psalm 85, and that truth, humility and justice may be seen in Thy people. Give us bold, loving and accurate preaching of the Gospel, and confirm Thy Word as Thou seest fit, for this salvation was first announced by the Lord, was then confirmed to us by those who heard Him, and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will, Hebrews 2:3 to 4. Grant us to get our lives and message correct, to walk blamelessly and as one, diverse as each has been graced, with the fruit of the Spirit from love unto self control. Keep us from sin, lies and fear, from pride and from the evil one, and keep us from temptation, and make us content to be as our Master, yet not our will but Thine be done. We ask this not for our glory, but that Christ, who suffered, died for our sins, rose and ascended and gave gifts to men, may be magnified, and that sinners may be saved through faith in Him alone. Amen.
