Praying for revival is essential but I realize that it begins with asking God to begin it with me.  Lord, examine my heart and show me the things you need to right in me.  I don't want to me introspective.  I want your Holy Spirit to show me your ways. 

I'm mesmerized by the beauty of autumn. While I appreciate and enjoy each of the four seasons, there is something about the glorious transition between a hot and sticky summer into a cool, crisp fall.

Mid BBQ's, firework shows, family gatherings, and outdoor celebrations, take time to consider the roots of our freedom. How is freedom expressed in your life?

Imagine, years ago, how different things were in our nation. As you ponder how we, those who call The United States home, have progressed from fear to freedom, express your gratitude to the One who has given us true and everlasting freedom.

Today''s post focuses on the prayer commitment of praying for revival in your church.

This week we''ll be walking back through the same prayer prompts and questions that we went through several weeks ago when we focused on praying for revival in our relationship with the Lord.

I love meeting new people. I love chatting with anyone, known or unknown, that I may cross paths with on a daily basis. The checker at my grocer store, the barista at the coffee shop I frequent, the mom at the park where my kids play. I love to hear snipets about their lives and to share bits of mine in return. A few encounters like that and you've begun brand new relationships with handfuls of people who you otherwise could have ignored. Interesting isn't it?

Today''s post focuses on the prayer commitment of praying for revival in your neighbors.

My family lives in an apartment located on the top floor of our building. Nice for us, but not so much for the older lady living underneath us. If you''ve ever lived in an apartment, you know how this goes, right? Too much racket and you get the ol'' broomstick to the ceiling sending no other message than, "Pipe down up there!"

Today's post focuses on the prayer commitment of praying for revival in your family. I will tell you this… if walls could speak… I'd be ruined.

Today begins a new series of blog posts designed to help us really engage in "revival-like" prayer. Using the Volunteer Prayer Pledge, today we''ll focus on seeking and praying in revival in your personal relationship with the Lord.

Revival is no more a miracle than a crop of wheat.  Revival comes from Heaven when heroic souls enter the conflict determined to win or die-or, if need be, to win and die.
