Let's Get Started!

Hey Brothers,

The Canton Revival Conference starts October 23 and is now 133 days away. Our brothers in 1904 created their prayer union to dedicate 30 days (actually 30 nights) to cry out for God's annointing and blessing on their conference. If we focus our prayers on the 5 questions that were asked of each man that wanted to join John Hyde's group, I think we are working from a firm foundation. By way of summary, here are the 5 again:

1. Are you praying for quickening in your own life, in the life of your fellow-workers, and in the Church?

2. Are you longing for greater power of the Holy Spirit in your own life and work, and are you convinced that you cannot go on without this power?

3. Will you pray that you may not be ashamed of Jesus?

4. Do you believe that prayer is the great means for securing this spiritual awakening?

5. Will you set apart one half-hour each day as soon after noon as possible to pray for this awakening, and are you willing to pray till the awakening comes?

Regarding the 30 minutes daily after noon, I need my time early in the day. I believe the important piece of this commitment is that we would make this a daily priority and expectantly look for God's answer to our prayers.

If you know of another man that should be added to our union, please send me his email and I will invite him to join us.

Until next time, I am praying for you both!

Your brother, Steve
