Before I Die, Let Me See Revival: Praying for the Next Great Awakening Like Simeon

What if God let you live long enough to see the exact thing you have been praying for? In Luke 2, an old man named Simeon prayed that prayer, and God answered him. In today's message from the One Year to Revival journey, Pastor John S. Dickerson opens up about a prayer that has taken hold of his own heart. Simeon was righteous and devout, and the Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not die until he saw the Lord's Messiah with his own eyes. When Mary and Joseph brought the infant Jesus to the temple, Simeon was there, and he held the child in his arms and praised God because the promise had been fulfilled. Pastor Dickerson shares how that story has shaped his own prayer life. He has begun asking God for something similar: not just to see an ordinary day, but to live to see the next great awakening, a nationwide revival where believers wake up spiritually and so many unbelievers come to Christ that it changes the nation. This message walks through two of the core revival practices this journey is built on: urgency with dependence on God, and playing the long game of decades, not days, praying and working for revival until Christ returns or calls us home. Whether or not God is stirring the same prayer in you, this message is an invitation to pray with fresh urgency for revival in your own heart, your family, and your nation.
