The Revival Run Guide For

Prayer Rooms

Welcome to the Revival Run / 24-7 Prayer Guide_Since January 2011 , people have been

setting out on God adventures that

involve wooden stakes , travelling

beyond their own churches and

towns and a whole load of prayer .

Something that we now call a

Revival Run .

These adventures have planted

prayer stakes all over the country

and beyond with prayers of revival

for communities other than our own ;

for areas that God places on our

hearts and that are outside of our

own homes and churches .

These prayer moments embrace the

notion of ‘preferring one another in love' (Romans 12 :10) and the attitude of being selfless for

the kingdom of God . They are acts

of kindness to the stranger and

extreme generosity from one church

to another as we pray big , fat ,

audacious prayers of revival for

places and people that we may or

may never meet .

This prayer breaks down walls ; it's

a universal prayer of blessing

that cries out 'We are one church' and blurs the edges of our church

circles , visions and dreams . What

would it matter if God poured

out his presence in one place and

not another? All that matters is

that we play our part in calling

out for an unprecedented move of

His Presence .

What if? People began to to pray for other

churches, towns, schools and colleges beyond there communities?

So we want to encourage you , even

dare you to . . . Take a stake , take

a prayer and plant in the ground

loaded with a cry to Gods heart to

pour out a move of God in the land .

Be the adventure_

The Revival Run story_If you get woken up at 2am with

one of those God inspired moments

you know it has to be worth getting

up for and I awoke one night

in November 2010 in this way ,

strongly feeling that we needed to

partner with a prophetic word over

our church that a move of God was

going to break out from our region

and reach the most northern and

western parts of the UK mainland .

I heard a simple whisper_Would you take a risk with some

prayer , take a prayer stake and

stick it in the ground wherever you

felt God lead you and pray your

biggest , most audacious prayers of

revival for that place?

Would you have the courage to

travel to those places to pray

regardless of how foolish it might

seem , for a move of fresh God

to break out . Would you be the

adventure?

Then I thought_What would happen if people

from all over the country , and

internationally , began to pray for

other towns , other churches and

other communities beyond their own

territories? Praying the best prayers

that they would ever pray for their

own town and give them away to

another place . Could you imagine!

I saw a vision of trails of fire

over a map of the UK being formed

from the south to the north , north

to the west , 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 .

Can you imagine the possibilities of

people willing to go out of their

comfort zones on a prayer adventure

for another place?

Will you be the adventure?

Take your prayer stake , plant a

prayer and post where and when

you prayed on our website and be

expectant that God will move .

Revival run and Team Leader of

Global Generation Church .

Stop1 . _ take some time to stop and invite God to invade your

prayer adventure .

Think2 . _ about where the Holy Spirit is wanting you to go

(often it's the place you are already thinking about) .

Go3 . _ make a plan of exactly where you should go and plant

your prayer stake . Think

Big , Think Adventure and

Think Different .

Be prepared4 . _ check out the Revival Run survival kit on

the website and check you have

everything you need to 'be the adventure' .

Travel light // take only 5 .

what you need_ pack light and travel light . Make sure you

have a little money on you and

a mobile phone just in case , and

remember to let other people

know where you are going .

10 Revival Run Commandments_

With every adventure comes the need

for a little wisdom for the journey .

So we came up with the Revival Run

10 Commandments to make sure that

you can be fully prepared and get

the best out of your God adventure

Don6 . 't go it alone_ Jesus said when you go , go in two's (at least) . Draw others into your

Revival Run adventure_ who knows they might find Jesus

along the way . (Maybe get your

youth/house group to go prayer

staking together)

Get some intel7 . _ its always good to make a little research into

where you are going . Why not

google 'revival in such and such' and see what comes up? Find out the oldest church

in the area or if your brave

enough , send out a message in

your church to see if anyone

knows a church leader you can

pray for in that place .

Be what it says on the label8 . _ If you are asked what you are

doing you have to tell them the

truth no matter how foolish it

may seem! You are on a Revival

Run and wanting God to bless

that place_ that is the true reason you are there (and then

offer to pray for that person) .

Be Good News9 . _ Revival Runners pray prayers of blessing and

hope , using Psalm 24 as the

benchmark of our prayer ,

inviting the King of Glory to

open up the ancient wells of

revival and invade that place

with his Presence .

Be relational10 . _ Each of us are representatives of the Kingdom ;

co – partners with God in being

who He is , right here and now .

Which means that a Revival

Runner needs to be relational

with who-ever they meet and wherever they are . It's likely

that God will put people in

your path and relationships/

connections will be formed all

over the place so be sure to

leave an impression! (who knows

you may even entertain angels)

Each persons Revival Run is unique

and has its own story to tell . It's these stories that create faith to

believe that God is at work in each

of us as well as the places we visit

and pray for .

It's these stories that we want

every Revival Runner to share

through the website , Facebook and

Twitter because when we do it fuels

the momentum of what God is doing .

Just imagine loads of sparks

of God at work and your

Revival Run being a bucket of

petrol being thrown all over

those sparks!

So when you go on your

Revival Run we need you to

Make a note of your story , 1 .

where you went and why .

on your phone)

through the website , Facebook

or Twitter .

Make some noise about your 4 .
