A PPENDIX 17 Let God Arise! Prayer Resources: Prayer for Spiritual Awakening and the Advancement of God’s Kingdom www.letgodarise.com
Let God Arise! is a sober call to form aggressive movements of prayer for the city. We organize prayer asking God to break through the darkness, evil, and despair of the city, and that he might bring refreshment and revolutionary change among America’s and the world’s urban poor. Prayer is the simple, elegant, and dynamic manner in which we accomplish the mission of God in the earth. As Jack Hayford said once, prayer is violence. It is violence against all things that oppose God, it treads down the darkness that enshrouds people’s lives, and crushes the machinations of the rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers of this present darkness, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Eph. 6.12). Prayer is wrestling with these forces, not with fleshly strength, but with the truth and power of the Spirit. As Christians pray, they take up the armor of God, and bring down strongholds which interfere with the saving Gospel of Christ. Prayer ransacks the kingdom of darkness, it releases the captives, and allows the Lord to intervene and overcome the powers that oppress the city. Only God can win the day; only prayer can open the way. We have designed numerous resources to help you, your small group, and your church to pray – for revival in jails and prisons, your city, country and beyond.
