In 2018 on the evening of Yom Kippur, my husband and I were attending a prayer gathering in a chapel in Atlanta, Georgia. During the meeting, many of the attendees heard a trumpet sound. It was as though someone was blowing a shofar—the trumpet that is described in the Bible (1 Thessalonians 4:16). As we stood there in amazement, listening to the loud trumpet, we knew it was a supernatural sign from God, because there was nobody at the meeting with a shofar.
Soon after the meeting, I prayed and asked God to reveal to me what the meaning of the trumpet sound was for us. In my spirit, I heard these words: “The trumpet sound was the call of Zion…a call to repentance.”
For years, I have believed that Christ’s return is sooner than most people realize. Nobody except our heavenly FATHER knows the day or the hour of our Savior’s return (Matthew 24:36). However, we can know the general season by the signs that we are seeing on the earth.
Without a doubt, it is time for God’s people to wake up fully. There has never been a more important time to wake up from spiritual slumber and walk in repentance continually.
Shortly after the COVID-19 crisis began, the Lord began speaking words to my heart about the state of things in the world. I heard these words in my heart: “Human systems are being broken down so that kingdom systems can be built.” In other words, God is tearing down the systems that are not of His kingdom. As I pondered those words, I thought about the disappointment of people that have placed their hope in the systems built by men. The upcoming days, months, and years will be very disappointing for anyone who has not placed their hope in Christ and His kingdom.
For the believer in Christ, these end times will be filled with a sense of awe. I believe that a great spiritual awakening is being birthed, and we are at the cusp of seeing millions of people turn to Christ. The world desperately needs Jesus, and it seems that people only want Him when they feel desperate.
I know that God did not cause the pandemic, but I believe He is using it to bring forth an awesome prayer movement and bring our nation back to making Christ the center of everything. This process will not happen instantly, but we are going to see God’s glory in unimaginable ways.
Let’s pray for God to wake us up fully and use us mightily in the days leading to His return.
Our Beloved Jesus,
Thank You for loving us perfectly. Thank You for Your patience, kindness, and mercy. We come to You and humbly repent of the sins that so easily entangle us. We want to be awakened fully and we desire to keep our eyes continually focused upon You. Wake us up from our spiritual slumber and help us live every moment fully awakened in Christ. Help us take our eyes off of the trivial things of this world and let us do the work You’ve called us to do while on the earth. Use us to lead people to Your saving grace and use us to bring hope to people in desperate need. I pray in Your name, Christ. Amen.
Revival begins in humble hearts and spreads like fire. The power of God’s Spirit is spreading like wildfire throughout the earth as we are praying for the greatest Jesus movement of all time to awaken the hearts of countless people.
In my heart, I hear God saying, “I am pouring My Spirit on those that are seeking Me with all of their hearts. I will anoint those who humble themselves completely.”
With all the turmoil in our world, prayer is more important now than any other time in history. I trust our Lord to make our communities stronger than ever as we pray passionately for spiritual awakening. I trust Christ to deliver the youth in our cities from violence, addictions, suicide, school shootings, gang activity, racism and all the epidemics that are destroying the lives of many souls.
God is on the move. This movement will gain momentum as we continue to pray.
Please join me in praying for more and more lives to be awakened, revived, and saved. Countless miracles will happen as we pray for the younger generation to be filled with the fire and power of the Holy Spirit.
With an expectation for even more to come, I want to share a few of the prayers that I have written through the past decade. I hope you will come into agreement with my prayers.
Beloved Jesus,
Thank You for what You are doing in my church and other churches around America. The atmosphere is changing in my church and I see that revival has begun. People are turning to You in their brokenness and it is a beautiful thing to watch. Jesus, pour Your Spirit onto my church and the other congregations in Atlanta. Let us be a forerunner in the reviving of America. Let the flames of Your Spirit consume our hearts. Let all the people who come to our churches sense Your presence and Your love. Make us a strong group of people, fully awakened by Your Spirit. Purify the hearts of Your people, Lord. Make us ready for Your return. Oh how I love You, Jesus. I pray in Your name. Amen.
Our Wonderful Jesus,
Thank You for Your marvelous love and for Your light that floods out all darkness. I praise You for what you are doing on this earth. I lift up the body of Christ to You today. I pray that each one who calls himself a Christian will truly submit his heart to You. I pray that each believer will be drawn to Your goodness and grace. I pray that Your Spirit will permeate the churches in this country. Lord, let Your light snuff out all the darkness that has tried to invade the church.
Jesus, we need true revival to come to every heart. Revive the hearts of Your people. Help the church stand strong and make a bold statement for the world to see. Let us be strong and mighty people who bring light to the world.
Jesus, our country needs You desperately. Come and rescue our cities with a great move of Your Spirit. Send Your anointing power like never before. Prepare the hearts of the people to receive the outpouring of Your Spirit. I’m waiting with great expectation for the work You are going to do. Thank You for Your perfect love and for rebuilding my city and my country. I love You, Jesus, with all my heart. I pray in Your name. Amen.
Our Amazing Jesus,
Thank You for Your unfailing love, for the way You continually pour out Your mercy and grace. Thank You for the way You gently show us the things in our hearts that are not good. Jesus, thank You for purifying our hearts, for removing every thing that hinders us from walking closely with You. Thank You for what You are doing in the body of Christ. Oh how beautiful it is! I feel it in my spirit: Revival is about to break out in a big way in the body of believers here in the Atlanta area. Keep pouring Your Spirit into the hearts of the people who are fully seeking You. I pray in Your name, Christ. Amen.
Jesus,
We (the body of Christ) want more of You. We want You to work in and through us in unimaginable ways. We want thousands upon thousands to be saved in our city due to the massive outpouring of Your Spirit. I am waiting for You with great expectation to do mighty things in the churches in my area. I have visions of people falling at Your feet, weeping in repentance, craving Your love, wanting more of You. Jesus, show the world who You are. Show them Your radical love. Speak to the hearts of all the people who call You, “Lord.” Let each of them come to know You deeply and intimately.
Raise us up to be the church You want for us to be. Jesus, make us ready for Your return, without a blemish or stain. Let us be a church who loves You fully and loves each other perfectly. Let each follower of You be so focused on You that they would not look to each other, but only to You. Let Your perfect unity and love rule in the hearts of all Your followers. I am ready to see You do great and marvelous things in my city. I love You, Jesus, with all my heart. I pray in Your name. Amen.
Jesus,
Thank You for being the greatest joy of life. Thank You for being the one who restores. Thank You for healing every hurt and making us whole. Thank You for speaking words of love and guidance into our hearts. You are the answer to all of life’s problems. I pray for every person who has not found life in You. Jesus, bring revival to this world. Ignite a fire in the young people of our cities and countries. May all the people that are hurting or lacking anything turn to You and find all that their souls are longing for. I trust You to bring change to this broken world. I pray in Your name, Christ. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your amazing grace and mercy. I ask You to fill our country with Your glory and let us be a bright light to a dark world. Let us live surrendered to You as men and women of God. Protect us from calamity and help our nation to thrive. I trust You to do great and mighty things in our country. Make us a strong nation and let America be a blessing to people all around the world.
I ask You to pour out Your Spirit in an unprecedented way in the days and months ahead. Pour out the latter rain and let it be a much greater glory than any other time in history. Let a spirit of unity fall upon the church to replace a spirit of dissension. Let the church walk in love toward each other and walk in authority all over the planet EARTH. Pour out Your Spirit upon Your sons and daughters and upon all flesh. Surround our leaders with a wall of Your Holy Spirit fire so that every weapon or curse formed against them will be burned up forever. Let all the leaders be filled with a greater measure of Your anointing power.
Let a great revival be powerfully ignited this week. Let signs, wonders, and miracles come forth like no man has ever seen before. Most important of all, let us prepare the way for the second coming of Christ and let Your kingdom come ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. I love You with all my heart andplace my hope in You alone. I pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
After years and years of praying for revival in the church, it’s truly amazing to watch it unfold. A great awakening is happening and will soon shake the world like never before.
