Why Prayer is the Key to Revival… In many Western nations, faith is on the decline. Churches are struggling, and an increasing number of people are walking away from their faith, especially the millennials. But throughout history, revival has always been preceded by one key factor: prayer. If we want to see a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our communities, workplaces, and schools, we must take our place as intercessor spiritual warriors standing in the gap for this generation. What is an Intercessor? An intercessor is someone who prays on behalf of others, calling on God to intervene in their lives. In Ezekiel 22:30, God says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land…” Revival requires believers willing to intercede for their families, cities, and nations.  Intercession must continue until the prayers come into fruition. Why is Intercessory Prayer Crucial for Revival? It prepares hearts – Before reviv...

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with  thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God,  Philippians 4:6 NKJV. In Philippians 4:4-7, Paul encourages us to “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

  Standing Guard Against the Spirit of Affliction Scripture : He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds, you have been healed . – 1 Peter2:24 (ESV) As I approached 2025, I began seeking the Lord about 2025. He revealed that the Spirit of Affliction will attempt to infiltrate the body of Christ. This tactic of the enemy is designed to distract, discourage, and divide believers from their God-ordained purpose. But we must remember, affliction is not of God. It is a scheme to shift our focus from His promises and healing power. 1 Peter 2:24 reminds us that Jesus already bore our sins and afflictions on the cross.

Now, more than ever, the call for warriors and watchmen is urgent. We must remain vigilant on the wall, standing firm in pra...
