Travailing Prayer - A Key to Revival


 Jesus said we must be born again to enter the kingdom of God.

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." - John 3:5 KJV

When a soul is born into the kingdom of God, the spiritual mother is the church, baptizing in water in Jesus name. The spiritual Father is Jesus, filling with His Spirit.

In the natural, travail is a word that describes a woman in labor giving birth to a baby. In the spiritual, it follows that the church must also go through travail. We can see this travail as being strong prayer.

"For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children." - Isaiah 66:8

Travailing prayer is physically consuming prayer, prayer with tears, praying in the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. (Acts 2:4).

Travailing prayer not only births souls but also brings rebirth of backsliders.

"My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you," - Galatians 4:19 KJV

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" - Ephesians 6:18 KJV

Revival!
