If my people called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek
my face and turn from their wicked ways Then I will hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and will heal their land. What's involved in
this? God expects us to pray But we must not forget what Jonathan
Edwards said when he said to promote explicit agreement and Visible
union of all God's people in extraordinary prayer What do you mean by
extraordinary prayer when you find people getting up at six o'clock in
the morning to pray or? Having a half night of prayer till midnight.
That's extraordinary prayer when they give up their lunchtime and go and
pray at a noonday prayer meeting That's extraordinary prayer But it must
be united and concerted It doesn't mean that a Baptist Becomes any less
of a Baptist or the name an Episcopalian is less loyal to the 39
articles or the Presbyterian turns his back on the Westminster
Confession not at all But they recognize each other as brothers and
sisters in Christ and they're prepared to pray together in Concerted
prayer that God may hear and answer We haven't reached that stage yet
this national conference on prayer is Unprecedented in some ways it's a
sign of the direction in which we're moving.

It's what I call extraordinary prayer But you folk who are here Those
who listen to my voice Must take it back to your churches and when
they're prepared to set aside time to pray for a spiritual awakening
That's when God is going to answer Now some people say that means then
it's up to us. Oh, no, we can't say that either Matthew Henry said when
God intends great mercy for his people he first of all sets them up
praying Even God is sovereign in this matter, but we must respond. He
has chosen never to work without our cooperation So whether your
interpretation of revival is Calvinistic or Arminian It's a very simple
thing you must pray Then God will work May God help us so to pray Amen
