When People Pray: Prayer Can Birth Awakening and Revival

DAY 2 OF 4

Intimacy Unites

Jesus set such an incredible example for us. He stewarded a level of Intimacy with His Father that brought unity that stretched dimensions. 

Think about the longest distance friend that you have. How are you able to continue your friendship even separated by miles? How are you able to remain connected?

Consider Pete Greg’s words: “The greatest person who ever lived was preeminently a man of prayer. Before launching out in public ministry, HE fasted for more than a month in the wilderness. Before choosing His twelve disciples, He prayed all night.”

Intimacy is a word that is often inseparable from the relations between a husband and wife. However it is too often not a word that we think of to be the connection between a parent and a child. For this reason, some have difficulty attributing INTIMACY to the relationship we are invited into with our Father in Heaven.

Prayer is not just a invitation into a conversation with the God of the universe, which is amazing.  

“Prayer is Intimacy is God.” - Brian Alarid

Jesus came and laid a foundation - “all that Jesus began to do and teach…” (Acts 1:1) - 

THINK ABOUT THIS: All He began to DO: How He acted, how He related, how He lived… He gave us a window into true, pure Intimacy. 

Intimacy Unites…

Manhattan pastor Timothy Keller once said, “The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00am for a glass of water is a child (a son or a daughter). We have that kind of access.”

God is beautifully impartial. He loves all His children uniquely. Jesus as King, is seated at the right hand of the Father, ready and willing to wake up at 3AM if that’s what it takes to remind you how much He desires an Intimate relationship with you.

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1

Listen closely to the question that Brian Alarid asks, “Why settle for a superficial relationship with Jesus when you can have an intimate, face-to-face friendship with Him?”

Just like Intimacy between a husband and wife develops a deeper connection and creates beautiful children, Intimacy with Jesus develops communion, births awakening and produces revival.

“So, what happens when people pray? What happens when a city or state unites in prayer? What happens when business owners seek God for creative ideas to generate wealth and impact others? What happens when a nation cries out to God? What could happen when every country and people group on the planet are covered in day and night prayer?”
