- Desperate Hunger for God Leads to Breakthrough (Psalm 42:1-2, Exodus 33:15-16)
- The difference between routine prayer and revival prayer is desperation.
- Moses refused to move without God’s presence—do we seek Him the same way?
- Persistent, United Prayer Unlocks Heaven (Acts 1:14, Acts 4:31)
- The early church prayed fervently and saw supernatural results.
- Revival is a move of God that happens when His people pray together.
