Every true revival that God has blessed us with has begun after much prayer. I encourage you to pray that God would stir your church diligently. I find that Christians who pray for their church specifically have a much deeper, meaningful membership in that local body than those who do not pray regularly for their church. Pray that god would move in such a way that:
Pray that hundreds of people come to Christ
Old animosities would be removed
Marriages would be healed and renewed
Prodigal children would come home, both young and old children
Dominating sin would be crushed
Spritual dullness is replaced by spirit filled joy
Worship would not be routine but a true time of praise and prayer to God
Confidence in the flesh would dissappear and confidence in the Gospel would increase
Prayer would be fervent
Evangelism wouldn't be a program but a natural result of a desire to glorify God
Missions would be something people DO and SUPPORT
Pastors would PREACH the WORD
Fear of man would be replaced by a fear of God
Radical faith would seem, well...not radical, but normal
Good encouragement.
