Revival Is Rekindling The Church
- Revival means fanning into flame what is already alive but nearly extinguished in the church.
- Jim Cymbala emphasizes revival is a renewed awareness of God's presence, not merely evangelistic meetings.
Design Prayer Meetings With Discernment
- Avoid copying models exactly; seek God's leading when designing your prayer meeting format.
- Create a context that fits your congregation rather than enforcing a fixed formula.
Prime The Congregation First
- Build faith before launching a separate prayer night by preaching about corporate prayer first.
