What does it mean to be devoted to prayer like the early believers were? Such singular and amazing revival intercessors share characteristics that we need to take to heart and emulate. Here are eight qualities that revival intercessors have in common:
Eight Qualities of Godly Intercessors
1. They love and trust God supremely above all.
2. They have a deep heart response to the urgent need of the moment.
3. They are self-sacrificing and ready to give their all to God.
4. They often sense the need for a genuine, very personal, and corporate response with repentance.
5. They identify with the sins and needs of an entire generation, nation, or people group. Or, they address a specific injustice, such as abortion, rights for the first nations and indigenous peoples, and so forth.
6. They exhibit thorough, contrite, humble prayer that often includes the sacrifice of fasting.
7. They often rally other believers to participate because they know that this type of prayer is better engaged in jointly.
8. They have a determined, strong expectation that God will answer their earnest pleas. This is what it means to seek revival breakthrough—to prepare earnestly for the great harvest.
Revival intercessors often invite others to this task of miraculous intervention by requesting prayers for protection, provision, deliverance, and transformation.
