In several earlier blogs, I wrote about three ways we can receive prayer alerts and burdens—through an inner knowing, through an inner witness and through the revelation gifts. The fourth way we can receive these prayer alerts, or assignments, is through scripture. I have experienced this many times. The Spirit and the Word agree so …
We live in a microwave culture. We want everything quickly, if not instantly, but that’s not how intercession works. Intercession is taking hold of God’s will for another person or situation and refusing to let go until His will comes to pass. It isn’t a weak request but a tenacious prayer that requires importunity or …
In my last two blogs, I talked about prayer burdens and alerts — when the Holy Spirit warns us to pray for a person or situation — and explained the first two ways that can happen: through an inner knowing and an inner witness. The third way we can receive prayer alerts is through revelation …
Have you ever suddenly felt deep concern or alarm for a person or situation without any seeming reason? Such experiences can feel disconcerting and strange but they are one of the ways the Holy Spirit speaks to us and guides us in our intercession. In my last blog, I talked about prayer burdens and alerts …
Intercessors are those who pray for the needs of others. Most often, we pray for other people because they ask us to. But the Holy Spirit knows when people need prayer — even if they don’t request it. Sometimes people don’t ask for prayer, and sometimes they don’t know when they need prayer. But the …
The early church—the church in revival—was not only birthed in prayer, but it was also fed and sustained in prayer. The same should be true for us. We need to pray now more than ever. I believe the spirit of prayer is gaining momentum and will rise more and more. We are entering into some …
Not long ago, while I was preaching at New Beginnings Christian Church in Brick, New Jersey, we experienced an incredible move of God. I was preaching about revival, and the Holy Spirit told me three things. First, He said, “There’s going to be a personal revival in and among My people, and that personal revival …
Foundations of Prayer Simply put, intercession is taking hold of God’s will and refusing to let go until His will comes to pass. As intercessors, we need this spiritual grit factor—tenaciously holding on to the promises of God in prayer until we see His will accomplished. To this end, we need to be reminded of …
When we talk about birthing revival in prayer, it’s important for us to understand how prayer works. The impact of our prayers often isn’t immediately evident, and because of that, if we don’t understand how prayer works, we can get discouraged and give up just as we are on the brink of breakthrough. To illustrate …
God is igniting the prayer movement around the world, calling His church to greater levels of consecration in intercession and travail. It is no surprise that the enemy of our souls would fight back, seeking to sideline us with discouragement and passivity. But we must not be those who faint or fall back in the …

In my last article, I shared part of a prophetic word from Kenneth E. Hagin and talked about the importance of praying into prophetic words. We do this by praying and declaring the word aloud to God and then asking Him to fulfill it. In this way, we agree with His word—what He has already …

The nations of the world are ripe for revival. God wants to move in powerful ways, but we have a part to play. I believe the coming move of God will be birthed through an increase of travail and intercession by the bride of Christ. In 1980, Kenneth E. Hagin gave a prophecy about this: …
