The Fulton Street Revival: A Revival Birthed Out of A Prayer Meeting (Click on title to read full article on this prayer meeting.

IFulton Street revival that lasted from 1857-1859. In those 3 years every single church in New York City grew by over 50%, 1/3 of Ireland (100,000/300,000) came to Christ, and more than a a half million people came to Christ in the US during those 3 years.

Tim Keller in a sermon regarding this revival speaks about the one element that is found in every single revival/awakening in the OT, NT, and throughout Church History. He describes that as "Kingdom Centered Prayer" or "Frontline Prayer." It is Corporate, Intensive, Prevailing (doesn't stop), Kingdom centered prayer.

Three elements he describes are 1) Request for the grace to confess and repent from sins. (This triggers more of God's presence and it is repentence born out of the joy and assurance of God's Love. 2) Compassion and zeal for flourishing of the church. That mechanical worship of God is replaced by a 2 way relationship. 3) Yearning to know God and see his face and his glory.
