Jesus told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” ~Luke 24:46-49

Will we light the spark?
Reading up on the Third Great Awakening (1850-1900) for a history paper. Many profound things marked this revival, both positive and negative, but the emphasis on prayer and unity really struck me. Walter Hampel writes, "Denominational differences were considered important but secondary to the purpose of seeking God’s face in prayer." This unity in prayer is credited with much of how the revival "spread to be like a lightning strike in a forest". Christians, will we light the spark of revival on our knees?
