Prayer Focus: The Heart of Darkness
Do we desire revival for the Heart of Darkness? The answer most obvious is a resounding “yes!”. Elmer Towns writes (Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough):
- Revival is not an automatic experience. It is something to be desired and prayed for.
- God is the source of revival. It comes from His presence.
As we corporately fast and pray this Friday, let’s desire and fervently pray for a genuine move of God throughout the Heart of Darkness.
