 Okay. Welcome everyone. Good morning. Hope that you're doing well and that whatever you learned yesterday was refreshing and strengthening about the tabernacle of David. So today again we have something very special to study. We will pray and then we'll get started. But before that, I just wanted to check, did your previous class get over a little late? No, no, it actually, we didn't have the last hour because I see, I see. Okay, understood. Yeah, yeah, because people are still joining. So that's what I thought. Anyway, we'll go ahead. We'll pray and we'll get started. So yeah, could someone please lead in prayer? Okay, as Salli. Father, we want to thank you for this time. Go ahead, go ahead, John. We pray God that you would open the eyes of our understanding and we would be able to understand more of your word this morning or God especially. Help us to understand regarding prayer and to apply this in our lives for God. We thank you that you are leading us in a special way. We give you praise in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen, amen. Thank you. Thank you, John. Yeah, so so today we are going to focus in on praying for revival. Okay, how to pray for revival. Revival, if you look at church history, you would find a common thread, you know, running through all the revivals and that common thread would be prayer. Okay, people made time for prayer, people invested in prayer, people sought God with all their hearts, with all their being and people cried out to God and as a result of that, we see a great work of God. You know, what is revival? Revival is moments in time when we have seen a mighty move of God. Okay, it's a mighty move of God in terms of people coming into the kingdom, in terms of the Holy Spirit working in people's hearts, in terms of the manifestation of the supernatural, the manifestation of the power of God, the display of God's glory, that people are getting healed, people are getting delivered from demonic powers, there is a city transformation taking place. So, you know, in that moment of time, you or that period in time, you see a work of God unlike any other and you know, if you just, I'm giving you a few things about revival, but there is so much more and it's a refreshing, you know, from God's presence that God brings in and he shows us his glory. So, many a time, you know, people refer to the book of Acts as a period of revival. You know how people stepped out and ministry was happening, the regions were being won for God and God's power was being demonstrated. It was an exciting time. It was an exciting time. It was spread over about three decades, but you see God's glory in a different way, in a powerful way. Okay, so that is revival. So, when we are crying out to God for revival, what we're saying is, God, you visit us in a new way, in a fresh way, in a powerful way so that we will be revived, we will be strengthened even more in you and we will see you for your power and your glory and each revival, you know, it displays God, it displays the glory of God in a magnificent way and that's what we want to see, we want to experience. So, there are people in history who have cried out to God and said, God, you visit us, you come powerfully in our midst, you do your work powerfully and God has done it. So, Charles Finney made the statement which is in our notes here. I am in page 80, page 90, chapter number 22. So, the statement says, revival comes from heaven, when heroic souls enter the conflict determined to win or die or if need be to win and die, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. So, he is talking about the determination and the commitment that one needs to pray till something happens. Pray till you see that change happening around you, pray till you experience the power of God manifesting around you. So, we need to press in, we need to push in and prayer is really the key to revival and anyone would agree, whoever studied revivals will agree that there was somebody who was praying, there was a community of people standing on the word of God. So, how can one pray for revival? Praying for revival is based on God's word, the promises in God's word that we can take and we can ask, okay, God, this is what you have spoken and we want that to come to pass. So, we can pray for revival in that manner. We can also pray for revival being led by the Holy Spirit. Now, Holy Spirit obviously will only speak in line with what God has already spoken in his word. So, 1 John 5-7, it says that the Spirit and the Word agree, so there will be no disagreement. The Holy Spirit leads us to pray for certain things and when we are led in both ways by the Word and the Spirit, we are able to call upon the Lord and we are able to press into this revival that we are talking about. So, you know, there are so many revivals, I think yesterday we looked at the Moravian, I told you the Moravian prayer movement, but it's also called as the revival. So, what is the precursor to that? You had people praying for 24 hours for several years and we have talked about the Welsh revival of Evan Roberts and I told you, Evan Roberts prayed and communities of people actually prayed. So, it's like that, when you study different revivals, Azusa Street, some people talk about that, 1905, William J. Seymour and when you see what they were doing, they were praying and in fact, one man, William J. Seymour, apparently he prayed for many hours, he prayed in tongues and even after the revival broke out, they say that he would wait in the room where people would gather and he would be praying and he didn't want anybody to disturb him or him to disturb anybody. So, it seems he used to put like a carton, you have those carton boxes, right? He'll put that on his head and he'll be praying. So, you can see a man who has put the carton box on his head and what is he doing inside? He's praying, he's praying in the spirit, he's praying, praying, praying and he would only come and speak to the people when he sensed the Holy Spirit move him to speak, otherwise the whole time he would be praying. Okay? So, I'm just giving you a glimpse of this connection between prayer and revival. So, you talk about different revivals and you will see that there were people who were you know, crying out to God, layman's revival, you know, that's another revival, where you had people during lunch break, they decided that they are not, they are going to spend that time to pray. So, wherever they were, they would just gather and this was started by, I mean, I don't remember the details now, but you can look it up, it's there. I think it's all there in the book publication called Revivals, Visitations and Moves of God. So, a person decided that he will print flyers and in that flyer, he had invited people, okay, every day during lunchtime, can you just gather and pray? That's all. So, it went around, these flyers went around and people actually took it seriously and they started gathering for prayer during lunchtime. So, initially, a few people gather, tens, 20s, hundreds, thousands and it just started, during lunchtime, chapels and churches started getting filled and a mighty revival took place, you know, even the press started covering it. So, it became that huge because somebody initiated prayer and said, can we all just spend a little bit of time, you know, praying during lunch break and, you know, it led into a revival. So, prayer is the key. If you want to see a move of God, sure, short way, seek the Lord through prayer and that's what we have seen even in church history and many, many revivals. You can look at somebody, somebody's name. We talked about Charles Finney, right? And we said, Father Nash, remember his ministry, his preaching was so effective because you had that Father Nash and his team, okay, investing time in prayer. So, if we want a revival, it's actually quite simple. We have to connect to God. We have to seek him. We have to spend that time with him, okay, and pray, okay, and we really never know, you know, how God begins to move when one is willing to do that. So, prayer, prayer, prayer, you know, you can't overemphasize it. It is that important. And, you know, today, just imagine if local churches make that time for prayer and even, let's say, if you can't gather as a local church, even a small team of people, you gather together and start praying, you know, surely we can all move in the direction of a mighty revival or a move of God. So, when we pray for revival, what are all the aspects that we must focus on? That is what we are going to look at today. There are a couple of points that I will touch on. To be exact, there are five points, okay, so we will go through each one of them. So, the first one is that we must pray prayers of repentance, of consecration, yielding and surrender to God. So, usually, when you study about people who prayed for revival, you know, you find those who were, you know, very honest with God and also, to the point where they said, God, if you want to change something in me, you change it. Okay, if like, bend me, mold me, make me, I just come before you and I dedicate myself to you. And also, people have prayed and said that, you know, God, we repent, we repent, you know, come, cleanse us, do a deep work in our lives. So, inviting God with repentance, that's also something that we have seen people do. If you look at the book of Jonah, right, when people repented, what happened? God's forgiveness came. God's working in their lives manifested. So, to pray for revival, this can be a starting point. We can ask God for forgiveness. We can ask God to change us. If there are things in our lives, you know, there can be weights or the Bible calls weights, things that interfere, you know, in our race, this faith race, faith journey, there can be sins. Okay. So, there's a cleansing that we're asking God for. We are saying, God, whatever standards we've had till now, we want you to up it. Okay. So, we pray for forgiveness, Lord. If there are things in us which are not right in your sight, then you please forgive us and help us to change. The good example, again, is that same Evan Roberts, you know, in their language, the Welsh language, they would say, bend me. Okay. Bend me was the term which in this revival became very, very popular. You know, people started using that term. It was introduced by a person called Seth Joshua. Okay. Seth Joshua first said, Lord bend me. And Evan Roberts caught on to that. So, the prayer of the Welsh revival was Lord bend me, meaning I repent. I commit myself to you. I surrender, you know, I'm ready Lord for if you want to change something in me, change. Okay. The sins in my life, the burdens in my life, the weights in my life, you know, I'm letting go. You know, it's like the heart of David. Remember, David came before the Lord and he had this prayer in Psalm 139 versus 23 and 24. He said, search me, oh God, and know my heart, try me and know my anxieties and see if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. So, he's coming open before the Lord willing to repent, you know, of his sins. And we know the context some of the other psalms of repentance also that he wrote. Okay. Sorry, everyone, there was some interruption in the connection. So, anyway, I'm back. So, I was saying that we are repenting, right? We are repenting before the Lord. We can also say that, you know, God, we are setting all our affections on you. Maybe there are some ungodly affections, okay, which we have, they can be our affection for self. They can be our affection for, you know, certain worldly achievements where we have selfish ambition. They can be our affection for the praise of people. Okay. So, sometimes, even without our knowledge, all of these things are a part of our lives. But when we truly come before the Lord and we are seeking a revival from God, we need to be in a place of repentance. We need to be in a place where we are saying, God, everything I give to you and you do something like Evan Roberts prayed, you know, in that Welsh language, bend me means, Lord, you break me, you make me. Whatever you want, you please do it. Okay. And that becomes the real cry for revival. So, when we are praying for revival, you know, we need to have our hearts so open before the Lord, where we are saying, God, our current standards, we may think that, hey, my Christian life is, I'm just living the life, the Christian life, but we still go before the Lord and say, God, bring me higher, oh God, bring me higher. You know, I'm sorry for the things which are not right in my life, in my heart, in my family, in my community, in my church. And in fact, this repentance can extend over the city as well, over the nation as well. We repent for God, not just for our sins, but also for the sins of the people in our land. And that's how we are inviting the working of God in our midst. So, when we pray for revival, it's good to go humbly before the throne of God's grace and say, God, we're like an open book. You do whatever you want to do, Lord, you do that in us. So, that is the main way in which one can pray for revival. Second, we can pray and ask for more of God. We can ask for a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So, when we say more of God, you know, in the Psalms, it says, as the dear pants for Brooks of Water, you know, I pan for you, oh God. So, there is a longing in our spirit for God, which only God can satisfy. So, when we're asking God for a revival, we're asking him to visit us in a strong way, okay, because our affection is set on God. And what we are saying is, we're saying, God, only you will satisfy. Nothing else is going to be sufficient. Nothing else is going to be enough for us. So, we want more of you. We want more of you. And to have more of God, you know, what is a requirement within us? We need a hunger. We need a thirst for the Lord. So, as God's people, just imagine, you know, as individuals, you know, we are living our lives and we are saying that I'm okay. You know, in my Christian life, I don't really have to grow anymore or I don't really have to experience anything more from God. You know, that itself shows that we are stunted. But the healthy way to live the Christian life is at every given point, we have to say, God, I am hungry. Teach me something new. Do something new in my life. You know, help me, Lord, to see your glory in a new way. So, what is that? That is carrying the hunger of God. When people don't have hunger, very soon, we can expect, you know, whatever working of the Spirit is there, it will come to an end. It will come to a stop, you know, stand still. Because God can no longer work in the lives of people who are not hungry for Him. But it is when churches are hungry. So, I want to really encourage you to go read those revival stories. You would find that people were crying out, people were calling out to God. There is one more chapter we will do in this course. There is the example of a lady called Pandita Ramabai from India. And she worked among children. And we will study how these children were crying out for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They were asking God, God, pour out your Holy Spirit, pour out your Holy Spirit. So, they had that hunger. And for us to receive a revival, we need to be hungry. You know, anyone who goes before God and says, I already have, but if you want to give, you know, that attitude will not work for revival. Every revival that we study about, people were hungry. And how beautiful, isn't it? If we have people in our churches, people in our communities saying, hey, we want to see more of God's working in our midst. So, hunger is very important. That need for more of God is very important. We need to be excited, more revelation from God's Word, you know, more of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, more of the gifts of the Spirit, more of the manifestations of God's power, whether it is healing, whether it is some miracles, whether it is something supernatural that God is doing among us. So, we're always hungry. Wow. You know, what is the next service going to look like? What is the next class going to look like? God, what are you doing? So, that is a healthy believer. That is a believer who is prepped for revival. Okay. And so, in our prayers, this is what we're asking God for. God, give me a greater hunger for you. Give me more of you. Let there be a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now, we know that praying for more of the Holy Spirit that is so scriptural in the Book of Acts on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was already poured out. But, you know, God has promised this for all his children, for all his sons and daughters. So, today, we can ask God, keep pouring out the Holy Spirit and keep releasing, oh God, those dreams, those visions, you know, that prophecy and that tongues and everything, Lord, that you have through the working of your spirit in our midst. So, God also promised in His Word in Zechariah 10-1, says the latter rain will be greater than the former. So, the early outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that was mighty enough. But what is the promise of God? God said in the last days, the way I'm going to pour out my spirit, it will be much greater. And that is why today if we say, okay, God, we want a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it is very much in line with Scripture and we can ask God for that. And when we do that, you know, God is a God who is faithful, he pour out that increasing measure of the rain of the Holy Spirit on us, okay. And people who have prayed in this way and who have experienced the working of the Spirit, even today, we can hear of churches around the world, some of them giving testimonies of what happened when they prayed for more of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So, all these things should really inspire us and help us realize that we too can experience these things. Alright, so first we said repentance, coming with an open heart, letting God work in our lives, you know, that is our approach in prayer. Second, we are asking for more of God. So, we become hungry, genuinely hungry for more of God, more of the outpouring of His Holy Spirit. Then we are asking for the manifestation of the glory and the power of God in our midst, okay. So, what is the glory and the power of God? The glory of God, we can study it in many ways, the glory of God. In the Old Testament, you would find that you could see the presence of God, you could experience the presence of God. You know, the glory of God would come like a cloud, it would appear as fire, okay. So, all that was the glory of God. And later on, when Jesus came to the earth, we saw that He manifested His glory. For the first time, you read that when He turned water into wine, when He did a miracle, the glory of God was manifested. So, Jesus manifested the sonship glory through a miracle. And then, through His entire lifetime, He was doing miracles, He was doing supernatural works. So, He was manifesting His glory in that manner. And He told that, you know, we who are believers, we will do greater works than Him. So, today, you know, when we're talking about the glory of God, the glory of God will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. It is who God is and what God does coming through in and through our lives, okay. So, by that, we mean that in our churches, you know, we're experiencing the presence of God in a mighty way. We're experiencing the works of God, you know, the way Jesus did all those mighty works, those works of God are there in our midst, okay. And talk about the nature of God. You know, we say God is justice, God is love, God is mercy, God is grace, you know, God is truth. So, the manifestation of everything that God is, is seen in the church. It is seen in the body of believers. It is seen in a particular believer. That is the glory of God, which we are talking about. So, we want God to be revealed. Basically, that's what it is for who He is, okay, through the works that He does. That is the glory of God. So, we are crying out to God and we are saying, God, we want a manifestation of God of your glory. We want people to see who you are, you know, in the book of Acts, when Peter and John, they were threatened, they said, hey, the authorities told them, don't ever go and minister in the name of Jesus again. So, they come back, they tell the other believers, this is what has happened, we have been warned. But when the believers hear this, they pray together to God and they say, God, you know, because of these threatenings, we don't want to stop the work, but give us more boldness so that we can continue the work. And then they also pray and ask God for, let more, so that these people will realize, ask for the manifestation of the glory of God. And that's where, you know, God is able to work. So, as God's children today, you know, in addition to whatever else we have said, let us pray for the manifestation of the glory and the power of God. You know, we want to see the power of God, just imagine, we go to church, okay? But we don't experience God working in our hearts or in our lives, not through the presence, not through the gifts of the Spirit or not through, you know, the breakthroughs, the miracles and all that he's releasing, we just go to church and we come back. You know, that will be so incomplete, isn't it? But what is God's promise? He wants to fill his temple with his glory. He wants to fill his house with his glory. So, when we are praying for revival, that's what we are saying. God, we no longer want, you know, dead services, dead churches, dead gatherings, you know, dead activities, something we do because we need to do these things. But Lord, we want your glory. You manifest yourself. If you are there, that is what makes the difference. So, we begin to pray in this way. We become hungry. God, every time we want to see you, we want to see your glory. Maybe one time we experience the peace of God, right? And that that is his glory presenting itself in that way. We get healed. That is God's glory presenting in that way. Maybe we go with the confusion and God gives us, you know, an idea, some wisdom comes to us. God's glory is being manifested. So, we are encountering the glory of God in different ways and we want more of that. So, when we pray for revival, that's what we should say. God, manifest your glory, oh God. Manifest your power. We should not be, you know, a dead set of people doing, you know, sort of just rituals and traditionally coming together, but we really, really need you. So, when we pray for revival, that's what we are asking for. Okay. And again, you know, you could just look at the revival stories and there you will see, you know, there were times when God's glory manifested in amazing ways. And also, the way, for example, the Azusa Street revival, in that revival, there is this incident where when people were praying, okay, people were praying. And of course, there were a lot of healings that took place and very remarkable ones, you know, things like somebody's ear got injured and immediately when someone prayed for it, the ear got healed in front of everybody's eyes, you know, the bleeding and the injury and all just disappeared. So, crazy, crazy stuff happened. But when the people were praying, apparently in that building, people who were walking outside, they could see fire and somebody even called up the, you know, the, what do you call that thing, the fire truck, the fire engine. And they came to put off the fire. But when they actually came there, they found that there was no fire. But people could see the building burning. But what was that? It was the manifestation of the glory of God. God was working in their midst by the, you know, by his glory. And, you know, all these amazing stories that you read about revival and it really inspires you, not that God is going to work the same way. Maybe we won't see any manifestation of cloud or fire or heat or cold, maybe not that way, maybe in some other way, right? But we are open. God, whichever way you're going to manifest your glory, you please come and we need to experience your working in our midst. So we cry out for the glory of God. And when we pray for revival, you know, we've always seen that when God is doing something in the midst of his people and, you know, he's revealing himself to his people in a powerful way, it touches the lives of those who don't know him. Okay. So in many revivals, you would read that a lot of people, you know, thousands of people accepted Christ, thousands of people came into the kingdom of God, everything, you know, Welsh revival, there is a number attached to that, how many thousands of people accepted Christ, layman's revival, so many thousand people accepted. So you see that the lost come into the kingdom. And so when we pray for a revival, we can also pray, God, you those who don't know you, Lord, we pray that in a quick way, in a speedy way, Lord, that you will draw these people to yourself. We know, you know, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will convict them and then, you know, the Father will draw them to himself. So we can pray everything we have learned about those who are lost, you know, bringing them into the kingdom, we begin to pray those prayers, when we pray for revival and surely a lot of people will come into the kingdom of God. And I think I told you, right in the Welsh revival, they had people who used to cuss, they stopped cussing, people who, the crime rate was very high and they actually figured out that the crime rate had become less because people were getting saved. People who are coming into the kingdom, they were understanding that we have to live by the nature of God and not do all these sinful things. So people getting saved in revivals, you know, that is something very common and we must pray that God will do that work of great harvest, mighty harvest. In a time of revival, generally, you know, there's a mighty harvest, people get saved quickly. So we need to pray, Lord, let there be a revival so that many will accept you. And then, you know, the fifth point here is to pray for transformation of the community. And yes, I have been sharing bits and pieces with you about different communities. So God can also do a deep work. Remember, when we talked about the Moravian revival, what was their issue? What was their sin, in other words, division, strife, competition. But when God began to work in their midst, how did the prayer movement start through unity? And then the unity stayed. After the unity stayed, we saw what a missionary zeal, you know, arose from the prayer movement of the Moravians. So in that way, whatever a community needs for transformation, maybe, you know, we've talked about this when we talked about praying for the city, maybe we want crime rate to go down, maybe we want, you know, justice, we want protection, we want righteousness. But God is able to do all of that, you know, when a revival breaks forth. So we are praying and we are asking God for a revival. And then, you know, as we pray for revival, we can also exercise the authority that God has given us because we are overcomers. Jesus has already overcome the paths of darkness on the cross. And we, in line with that, we are also overcomers. So when we are praying for revival, we can exercise our authority and, you know, spiritual. We've talked about spiritual warfare, how we want to stop the enemy, how we want to bind what the enemy is doing. And instead of that, we want to lose the kingdom of God. So we engage in that form of prayer as well. So these are all just a few key things to pray for revival. But I'm sure this list is not complete. All right. But when we start praying along these lines, we can be sure, based on God's word, based on what we have seen in many of the revivals that these are the keys. Okay. And we can expect God to work in our midst and God to bring forth the revival. Now, sometimes, you know, even though we are praying for a revival, it might take a while. And I know of people who have been praying for revivals for, you know, years, decades, but they have not been in a revival yet. But that doesn't stop them from continuing to pray for a revival. So we need a determination to say that God, we will not stop praying. We haven't seen it, but, you know, we believe that you are going to do it. Okay. So we must not give up. Sometimes seeing a manifest revival, I don't know, you've prayed your whole lifetime, but you may not have seen it. But we need to persevere and trust that God is a God who honors every prayer. Even if you pray a small simple prayer, you know what? God holds it close to his heart. So people have prayed for revival. There can be many years of prayer, but he will honor it. Even if we don't see it in our lifetime, you know, for sure, we know that God is going to do it. And through that, souls will come into the kingdom. The community will be transformed. We will see God's power being manifest. So that's a little bit about praying for revival. I'm just going to stop here. And if you have additional thoughts, you have additional stories or even questions, you know, we can go ahead and discuss that. All right. So yeah, feel free. You could post these things on the chat or even unmute yourself and ask. Okay. Anyone here prayed for revival? I think the answer should be yes, right? Everybody? Oh, praying. Okay. We are saying praying, Zillatoli, yes. Anita, yes. Nikki currently praying for carvar. Okay. Wonderful. Wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. Praise God. No, we should because God has asked us to trust his promise. He said the later in will be greater than the former. So it's biblical. We can ask for the outpouring of his spirit. Even Anita says praying for carvar. Wow. Amazing. Praise God. Yeah. So any any questions along these lines? Yeah, I just had one. I just just out of curiosity, like, where they're like, do you know of any revivals that started in homes? Okay. In homes, is it Divya? Oh, yes. Like, in as a maybe a group, maybe a group of people gathered in a home. Okay. Actually, at the moment, I can't think of any. It'll be good for you to scan through that book, revivals, visitations and Moves of God, APC publication from our resource section. Yeah, it has lots of stories. Okay. Sure. I'm sure you'll find something. Yes. Okay. Okay. Okay. Nikki saying is there a point where we start moving out in faith and do people just wait to signs like people coming to church? Okay. Okay. So with regard to revival, oh, Nikki, I think the norm is that we can step out because that's a that's a given. Like, if you read Mark chapter 16, these signs shall follow those who believe. So we don't have to wait for a revival for us to actually do the works of God. So let's go ahead. Let's keep doing, you know, let's keep praying, let's keep fasting, let's keep reading the word, let's keep preaching the word, you know, let's, let's keep ministering to people as a norm. Let's do all those normal things. But you know, when revival happens, you will know. Okay. When revival happens, you will know. Does that answer your question, Nikki? Okay. Great. Yeah. Thank you. So I don't know if you all remember this was maybe 2008. There was a news of the Shillong revival in Meghalaya, which, you know, people had stories to share about the revival, how churches were being filled and people were worshiping for hours together. Yeah, correct. Correct. So, you know, that there are, there are those incidents where when people were worshiping in the churches, they had like supernatural manifestations. They talked about a bird coming, you know, that there was no bird in that place and suddenly a bird appeared and some angelic visitation. So amazing, crazy things happened in that in that revival and there were pictures, there were videos captured and somebody here in Bangalore, you know, they had made CDs and given those CDs and I saw it, you know, you had young people, children, they were all just wailing and crying and they were just saying, God, we are sorry. You know, it was just, I have never seen anything like that. You have so many people just crying out to God and it was as if God was pouring out a spirit on that community in that period of time and, you know, there were testimonies coming out like people who were given to alcohol addiction, they repented, you know, they wanted to stop drinking and all. So, so many stories were coming out of that and God was doing a marvelous work in that Shillong revival. At least these are the things that I have heard. I've also heard it from a friend of mine who has gone and witnessed the revival. So, that's why confidently I can share about it. But yeah, I'm sure there are other stories as well. Yeah, these stories inspire us. So one of the ways in which you can keep yourself fired up to pray for revival is you read of other revival stories and when you see what God has done, you know, it makes us want it. Wow, God, you know, do this in our time, do this in my life, do this in my church and my city. So I'm just looking at the chat here, Zellie Tohli, you can read from headhunters to church planters by Paul Hathaway. It's a book of amazing spiritual awakening in Nagaland. Oh, thank you, Zellie. That's good. At least we can read this book. That's nice. That's about Nagaland and while praying for cities, how do we consolidate things to pray for the city, things pertaining to the city? Any suggestions based on your experience? Yeah, so consolidate, you can do a little bit of research about the city and that will give you the demographics of the city. It will give you, you know, some of the statistics that you want to know, you know, you can look up the population, a little bit of history of the city and all, so that is one aspect. Then you will know how to pray based on those things. Then you would also need, you know, the current situation and when you're looking at the current situation from news, you can get, you know, information about the economy, you can get information about the safety. So different aspects, you cover different aspects of the current news. Then after that, you know, you could also go by God's word. We already have, you know, a list of scriptures which apply to every city. So you can take those scriptures and you can pray in addition to that, you know, God releases prophetic words through his people. So there can be even prophetic words that we hold on to and we pray. So in this manner, you put everything together, okay? You consolidate everything and keep praying as led by the Holy Spirit. All right, till a time where God says, okay, you know, this is done or that is done. So in this way, you consolidate it and you keep praying. Now does that help, Divya? Yeah, yes, yes, Pastor. Also, like, sometimes, you know, there can be as we learned, like, there can be some territorial spirits and things like that, right? Sorry, I didn't get you. There can be. Can you hear? Yeah, only one word. Yeah, I just said, like, there could be territorial spirits, right? Over places. So, yes, yes, yes. So, like, how do we get an understanding of such things? Yeah, so for territorial spirits, no, Divya, we can, we can see there's both the natural and the spiritual. So in the natural, you can observe, you might find that there are, you know, some activities that are abnormal. So if you find, I think we've discussed this, no, some places you see there's a lot of addiction, prostitution, corruption, and you can kind of notice that it is quite, you know, prevalent, it's, and it's spreading across, it's touching many communities in the city. You can understand that something like this cannot be, you know, just happening. It has to have a spiritual influence behind it. So you observe, but you also pray. When you pray, God will, God will put that on your heart and say, okay, you know, in this region, you have a spirit of lust, which is causing people to engage in prostitution or causing or a spirit of addiction of bondage, which is causing people to, you know, go into things like this. So both are required, you observe, and you also hear from God, and God will help you discern that these territorial spirits are at work in that place. Okay, okay. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. But one question is, don't get too absorbed in that, Divya, because what happens is, you know, people, it's like an unhealthy, they get very attached to these territorial spirits and those territorial spirits, and then you know, your focus goes, demons, spirits, God, and it's Yeah, yeah, got it. Yeah, understood. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Great. Okay. I'll just look at the chat here. All right. So those are the only questions here. Close with the word prayer. Okay. All right. So let's close with prayer. And I just want to encourage you, I know I share like bits and pieces, not a very systematic way today. But, you know, inspiring stories from that revivals, visitations and moves of God. Please do read that book, you know, when you have some time, and that will give you great insight into revivals and praying for revivals. So I would like to request someone to please pray, maybe Zellie, because John started with prayer. You can close with prayer. Yeah. She learned about revival, but Holy Spirit continue on to inspire us, continue on to speak to us so that we have a heart for revival that will never cease to pray that hearts will be focused on you. We thank you so much for this time. God, you bless our pastor and bless each one of us. We thank you, God, in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Zellie. Thank you, everyone. I have posted your second assignment. You can start working on it. I know you would ask me, oh, where are the assignment? I'll hand it to you. Okay.
