Is Revival coming?

There is a sense of optimism in the air despite the continuing bad economic news. I sense it talking to the Ministers of other local churches. It may be partly to do with the new coalition government - but then a newly elected administration always prompts some early enthusiasm. No, I think it is more than that. I've been reading some prophetic statements about Britain that I found on the net. The surprising thing is the consistency in what they are saying; that Revival is coming and that the Lord still has a vital place in His purposes for this nation. One even talked of Britain as being a sort of gateway nation for Revival to spread to Europe. All of them are agreed on one thing; the priority of prayer to help bring this about. The vitality and urgency of prayer are key to any substantive move of God. Don't ask my why or to explain it to you. For whatever reason, the Lord seems often times to restrict Himself to the prayers of His people. We are after all His agents, we are the ones through whom He wants to achieve His plans. Which leads me to the big question....are we up for it? Are we ready to spend hours on our faces before God, seeking Him afresh for ourselves and our nation? And when Revival comes, how are we going to cope with the massive influx of people seeking and finding Jesus? Let me know what you think.
