Praying for Revival, for Christ to Come

On March 25, 2015 Seventh-day Adventists around the world will begin the 100 Days of Prayer for the upcoming 60^th General Conference meeting.

In 1903 Ellen White had a vision, which she recorded entitled “What Might Have Been.”  She said that the breakthrough did not happen because hardhearted participants prevented the unity that God had intended, she said.  “Deeply disappointed, she understood that the Lord could have come back in the lifetime of those members, but His people would not respond to the Holy Spirit’s moving as they should have.”  God was ready to cut the work short by pouring the Holy Spirit, but the delegates would not humble themselves.  Had they in humility of soul led out in the work of confessing and repentance there would have been one of the greatest revivals since the day of Pentecost!  But it never happened…..

The 100 Days of Prayer invites Adventist believers to spend some time every day praying for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, for church leaders, for all delegates, and for the decisions that will be made at the 2015 General Conference session. This prayer initiative will continue through July 11, the end of the 2015 session in San Antonio, Texas.

You can sign up to receive a daily e-mail, starting on March 25, from the Ministerial Association’s 100DaysofPrayer.org website. The e-mail will include practical, real-life devotional messages, a revolving list of names of church leaders to hold up in prayer, and significant needs to remember in prayer as preparations are made for the 2015 General Conference session.

Pray for yourself, your pastors, elders, leaders, schools, Conference leadership, delegates from Ontario, Canadian Union church leaders, North American Division, and for all the world.  Pray that there will be no pride, no envy, no greed, no anger, no strife.  Pray that unity and love will be poured into hearts of all by the Holy Spirit.

Our church leaders’ biggest hope is that the 2015 session will not repeat 1901 — and Jesus will come quickly.  What might have ben can be!
