Greg Frizzell, the BGCO Prayer and Spiritual Awakening Specialist and member of Village Baptist has given us permission to reproduce and to use his Covenant Prayers for Revival and Spiritual Awakening. But why would we want to do that?
Over the years I have advocated many church programs. Most of them were very good and accomplished good in people’s lives. Programs have their place. Yet I found myself at a place in life where what I needed was not necessarily another program. I need a fresh touch from God!
I have been reading, almost insatiably about spiritual awakening and revival during the last two months. I have downloaded and listened to more than a dozen sermons on revival and revival praying. One thing that has been distressing in all of this is the lack of practical help in these books and sermons. They tell of many great prayer meetings and of great movements of God, but they do not tell how to pray, that is, how to pray for revival.
Enter the works of Dr. Greg Frizzell. Greg is a man who understands people need help when it comes to prayer and revival. Greg knows how to instruct a willing soul in revival praying. He has done the larger body of Christ a great service. But Greg has also done a great service to us, if we will use what he has offered.
What Greg has done for is is to instruct us on how to pray for revival. From his study in Scripture and in the history of awakenings he has compiled 21 different prayer topics along with reflections for revival.
Each Wednesday night we meet at our mid-week service along with our current study, I will cover one of the 21 Covenant Prayers for Revival. You will receive a handout with the covenant prayer reflection and a commitment. We will walk thorugh this and pray this together in groups. I challenge you to take this home and pray it during the rest of the week.
On the following Sunday, I will take time to talk about this covenant prayer and we, as a congregation will pray together for God to fulfill this prayer, to change our hearts and our ways. In short, we will pray for God’s powerful manifest presence to be with us.
I’ll post the Covenant Prayer for that week here on the blog. You can download the full document with all notes here.
To the glory of God.
