Our global civilization is in an epoch cycle of change. This cycle of change will test the things we know and believe. Human solutions will fail with ever-increasing frequency because earthbound realities will not meet the needs of desperate people living in desperate times. People will turn to God for answers. This turning is what we have historically called ‚revival.
In this turning, God will ask His Church to respond to the world around us from the fresh revelations of His heart. God is releasing a deepening hunger for prayer within His Church—a hunger for the language of heaven. God is preparing us to minister supernaturally in a world that is exhausted by dead religion.
A refreshing wind of God’s presence is blowing across creation. This wind will clear our field of vision so we can see what God intends His Church to be. One of the greatest, most culture-transforming powers available to the Church has always been prayer. Prayer moves heaven to bring its environment down upon the earth to transform the kingdoms of this world into the Kingdom of our Lord.
Jesus Himself said that His house would be known as a house of prayer. The house of God is not a physical temple or a church facility. God’s house of prayer is a presence-carrying people who are living and breathing temples of God. God dwells in this kind of house—in us—with power.
