Seeking Revival: The Power of Prayer and Fasting in Our Generation

Tom Ascol

I’ve been the pastor of Grace Baptist Church for over 38 years and a little over two years ago we began to set aside the first Wednesday of every month for prayer and fasting for revival and reformation. And we come together on those Wednesday nights to pray specifically that God would send His Spirit with power upon us. We do this because we know that He can do this and we know that we desperately need this. And we are threatened by stories of what He’s done in the past, the records of revivals that swept whole areas and sometimes whole communities and nations even with the running of the gospel and the power of the Spirit. I would invite you to consider in your own church calling upon your congregation to set aside time specifically for praying and fasting that God would arise and make Himself known again in our generation as He has in days past.
