Do You Pray for Revival?

“‘Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that You are the LORD God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.’ Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, ‘The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!’”

1 Kings 18:37-39

Ponder This

How much of your prayer life is consumed for the glory of God? Most of our prayers are “give me” prayers that have no concern whatsoever for the glory of God. But when Elijah prayed for God to reveal His glory, this fire consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, the water, the dust. Do you want to be consumed by Almighty God? Would you like for God to come down on the sacrifice, which pictures the Lord Jesus Christ, and let that sacrifice be a sweet-smelling aroma to Him and to you? His glory is fire that consumes. His glory is the fire of revival.

Revival in this passage was a fire that consumed, a fire that convicted, and a fire that converted. Look in verse 39: Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, ‘The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!’” Those who were the fence straddlers, those who were ambivalent, fell on their faces to worship God. My heart yearns for that. This is not a work that can be done halfway—it is all consuming. This work will not keep you in your pride; it will open your eyes to your sin. This work will not keep you as you are; it will change your heart. We need God’s revival; it is something we should crave.

• Do you desire God’s revival in your church and community? In what way?
