Something I learned from my time with the Pentecostals is that you cannot rush God. We give an altar-call, have people come to the front, yet in 5-10 minutes everyone has returned to their seats and are ready to go home.And what is worse, they really think that they have done business with God.
The history of revival is that of protracted prayer, of hours and hours on one's face before God, of nights spend seeking God instead of sleeping. Prayer becomes the priority of life. Then and only then did God see fit to move in revival
We wonder why there is so little by way of lasting results. Perhaps if we actually spent some time on our faces before God, quit worrying about what time it was or what other people were thinking, and got with God and stayed with God until God answered, we might not be lamenting the lack of revival in our churches, but might actually be walking in it.
