February 16: Atlanta on Fire

Declare His glory among the nations.
Psalm 96:3

On this day, February 16, in the year of our Lord 1908, a large gathering of pastors and church leaders gathered in Atlanta. The meetings were characterized by extended prayer. The glory of God came like a cloud. One participant reported, “A cloudburst of glory…the fire came down! Who can describe this moment!” The waves of Holy Spirit activity continued long after the conference. When pastors returned to their churches, they took with them what they had received. Church after church experienced a profound move of the Holy Spirit. Lord, do it again in our day!

Father God, come and revive Your church in the city of Atlanta again. And please visit my city, too, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

 


This daily Christ-encountering, fire-starter is not intended to replace your daily Bible reading and prayer time, but rather to motivate you to spend extended time in His presence.
