Never stop praying, especially for others. Ephesians 6v18 (CEV)
Love each other as brothers and sisters and honour others more than you do yourself. Romans 12v10 (CEV)
A ‘Revival Run’ is a simple thing. It involves going somewhere else, somewhere beyond your church, your street, your local community (sometimes even your nation!) and praying your biggest, most audacious, faith-filled prayer for that place, that church, that street, that community. And it involves planting a ‘prayer stake’ as a symbol of your desire for God to plant something deep and long-lasting in that place.
It’s about praying for God to bless others even more than ourselves.
This simple, generous idea, which began in a tiny 24-7 Prayer room in Ramsgate on the Kent coastline, is now spreading all over the world, and we’d love to see hundreds, maybe thousands of ‘Revival Runs’ criss-crossing the United Kingdom and Ireland as a part of the ‘Kingdom Come, 2012’ year of prayer.
Imagine this… people from rival towns and districts, supporters of rival football teams, members of churches from different denominations where there has been historic division, people from different cultural or political or religious backgrounds, all planting prayers of blessing for one another. Imagine how God might respond to those kind of prayers.
It’s about praying for unity and reconciliation, for transformation.
Mike Andrea writes; “These adventurers have planted prayer stakes all over the country and beyond with prayers of revival for communities other than their own; for areas that God has placed on their hearts… Will you be the adventure?”
Revival Run is a fun, active way for you and your friends or family to pray and go, to pray and become part of the answer to your own prayers. Already there have been lots of stories of God doing wonderful things with and through those who have set off on a Revival Run… people they’ve met along the way, ways that God has spoken to them as they’ve gone on their seemingly foolish adventure. Some have gone a few miles, some have gone many hundreds of miles. You can read some of these stories on the Revival Run website.
The 10 Revival Run Commandments
- Stop. Take some time to stop and wait on God. Listen.
- Think. Think about where God wants you to go. It will probably be the first place that comes into your mind. Or maybe the place where you least like the idea of going.
- Go. Make plans. When? Who with? How to get there? Where to stay (if you need to stay overnight)? Think big, think adventure, think different.
- Be prepared. Check the Revival Run website resources [LINK]. Learn from others.
- Go with others. Don’t go alone. It’s more fun, and it’s safer to Revival Run with others.
- Get some intel. Find out about the place you’re going to, the churches in the area, etc. Google it.
- Travel light. Only take what you need.
- Be open and honest. If you meet people along the way, tell them why you’re there. Maybe offer to pray for them too?
- Be good news. Pray blessing on the place. Psalm 24 is a good place to start.
- Be friendly. Leave a good impression on whoever you meet, wherever you go.
I saw a vision of trails of fire over a map,” writes Mike Andrea, “formed from the Soth to the North, West to the East and then they simply went everywhere. It was chaos yet beautiful; it was revival prayers being given away from one place to another.
