God’s Commands, Promises, and Examples for Extraordinary Prayer | Jonathan Edwards
Deep Dive into Extraordinary Prayer for the Revival of Religion and the Advancement of Christ's Kingdom on Earth by Jonathan Edwards - Precepts, Encouragements, and Examples
Jonathan Edwards emphasizes that the Bible is filled with precepts, encouragements, and examples urging Christians to earnestly pray for the Holy Spirit, which is the most essential spiritual blessing. Drawing on the teachings of Christ, Edwards notes that God is exceptionally willing to bestow the Holy Spirit upon those who ask. He explains that it is God's revealed will for the church to engage in fervent and incessant prayer for a glorious outpouring of the Spirit in the latter days.
This focus on praying for the advancement of Christ's kingdom is a central theme throughout Scripture. For instance, the first three petitions of the Lord's Prayer are entirely dedicated to the success of the gospel and the coming of God's kingdom. Furthermore, a significant portion of the Psalms consists of prayers and prophecies regarding the restoration and prosperity of the church.
Edwards argues that God deliberately intertwines the realization of his promises with the prayers of his people. When a profound spirit of prayer arises within the church, it is a clear sign that God is preparing to fulfill his promises and pour out spiritual waters. God even presents himself as standing ready and waiting for his people to cry out to him so that he might grant them this mercy.
To support this, Edwards points to numerous scriptural examples where extraordinary prayer led to miraculous deliverances and spiritual revivals. The liberation from Egyptian bondage, the return from the Babylonian captivity, and the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost were all direct answers to united, fervent prayer. Ultimately, those who dedicate themselves to praying for the prosperity of the church will be the first to experience the blessings of this spiritual outpouring.
