FIRE ON THE ALTAR: A LIFE OF CONSISTENT PRAYER (7)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Tuesday, 18 February 2025

Focus: Revival Fire Through Prayer 🔥🔥🔥


Every revival in history has been birthed through prayer. From the early church in Acts to great awakenings around the world, every outpouring of God’s Spirit has begun when people humbled themselves, sought God, and prayed fervently. Prayer is not just a personal tool for spiritual growth—it is a kingdom weapon that brings revival, transformation, and breakthrough to entire generations.

🔹 In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples while they were praying in the upper room. That moment ignited the church and changed the world forever.
🔹 The Welsh Revival (1904) started because a young man, Evan Roberts, prayed passionately for God to move. His cry was, “Lord, bend us!”
🔹 The Azusa Street Revival (1906) was sparked by a small prayer group led by William Seymour—it became one of the greatest moves of God in history!

So, beloved, God is still looking for intercessors—men and women who will stand in the gap and pray until heaven invades the earth (Ezekiel 22:30). Will you be one of them?

A revival fire that will transform your life, family, church, and nation is waiting to be ignited. But revival doesn’t start somewhere else—it starts with YOU.


Scripture Reading:

📖 2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”


Refreshing for the Day:

God moves when people pray! If you desire revival, it must begin in your own life first. Ask God to ignite a fresh fire within you, one that will spread to others.

Take time today to pray:
✅ For personal revival—a deeper hunger for God and holiness.
✅ For your church—that God would awaken hearts and stir fresh passion.
✅ For your community and nation—that the fire of God would bring transformation. Stay Refreshed!


Note This:

Revival doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when believers become hungry for more of God and are willing to labor in prayer until heaven responds.


Responsibility:

Set aside at least 30 minutes today to pray intentionally for revival in your life and surroundings. If possible, find a prayer partner or prayer group and join hands in intercession. Remember: Revival begins in the place of prayer!


Prayer:

O Lord, I don’t want to live a lukewarm life. I desire revival fire! Set my heart ablaze for You, and let my prayers bring transformation. Use me as an intercessor to birth revival in my family, my church, and my generation! In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Prophetic Declaration:

🔥🔥🔥 I declare that I am a fire carrier! My prayer life is ignited with revival fire. I will pray until heaven moves, and I will see God’s glory manifest in my life and my generation! 🔥🔥🔥In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Bible Texts:

1 Thess. 5:17, James 5:16, Luke 18:1, 2 Chronicles 7:14
