Any study you invest into the awakenings will be of great benefit as the days ahead unfold. And along with your study, your prayer for these days is vital.
Key to Every Awakening
The key to every awakening is prayer.
Of Jonathan Edwards it has been said, “His preaching derived its power from his prayer life. He would spend whole days and weeks in prayer, and it was not unusual for him to spend eighteen hours in prayer prior to preaching a single sermon.”
What does prayer do? It makes power available—effectual in its working (James 5:16). For Edwards, and other fervent pray-ers throughout the ages, the result has been revivals—indeed, awakenings that transformed the moral and spiritual character of not only their own community but also that of entire nations.
The 1857-1859 Awakening in America was known as the revival of the United Prayer Meetings. It resulted in an awesome sense of God’s presence across America. And 2 million of the 30 million people in the nation were won to Christ. In 1859, Northern Ireland knew an outpouring of God’s Spirit that swept 100,000 people into the kingdom of God in one year.
These simultaneous awakenings began with prayer meetings, which started on both sides of the Atlantic on the exact same date. On Sept. 23, 1857, Jeremiah Lanphier began a prayer meeting in The North Reformed Dutch Church near where the Twin Towers stood in New York City. On that same date, four, young Irishmen, new to the faith, in a rural schoolhouse in Kells, began to pray for God to pour out His Spirit. Neither knew of the other prayer meeting.
Today, the importance of effectual, fervent prayer is crucial. As individuals and groups of believers gather specifically to hold their nations before the Lord, we expect the outpouring of the next Great Awakening.
