because of prayer

Throughout history, prayer has had a significant impact. Examples include John Knox's prayers intimidating Queen Mary, John Wesley's prayers bringing revival to England, and Jonathan Edwards' prayers spreading revival in the American colonies. Prayer has the power to change history, even in difficult times when the world rejects God. We should pray for revival in our nations and worldwide. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." James 5.16 John Knox prayed, and the result caught Queen Mary to say that she feared the prayers of John Knox more than she feared all of the armies of Scotland. John Wesley prayed, and revival came to England, sparing the nation the horrors of the French Revolution. Jonathan Edwards prayed, and revival spread throughout the American colonies. History has been changed time after time because of prayer. I tell you, history could be changed again if people went to their knees and believed in prayer. Even when times are bleak and the world scorns God, He still works through the prayers of His people. Pray today for revival in your nation and around the world.
