A prayer for revival

What does revival mean? Revival means coming back to life.
Who asks for revival? People who have lost revival in their lives are the ones who ask for it.
What happens when you lose revival? When you lose revival, there is no joy. Most of the time you lose battles in your life because there is no revival.
What affects your revival? Going in the way of the world affects your revival.
So how does revival come? Revival cannot come without the presence of the Lord. When we lose touch with the Lord, we lose revival.

How to experience revival in your life:

1. Humble yourself and acknowledge that you have lost revival: "However, if My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves, pray, search for Me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their country" 2 Chron 7:14
2. Seek the face of the Lord - return to the Word of God: "...return to Me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Hosts..." Mal 3:7
3. Repent your sins - make a change of attitude, take a change of direction. Become a new creation - that is the meaning of repentance: "Therefore if anyone is in the Messiah, he is a new creation, old things have disappeared and look - all things have become new!" 2 Cor 5:17
4. Give the right place to the Holy Spirit: "And I will ask the Father to give you another Helper, to be with you always" Jn 14:16
5. Pray with others for revival: God has made us a kingdom of priests. When we come together, we bring the presence of God with us, because God is in our hearts. "And He has made us a kingdom, to be priests unto God His Father, to Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever, Amen" Rev 1:6
