Chris.
Very often, before a stagnant Church can grow, there needs to be more than Prayer, there needs to be action. The stale needs to be removed and the fresh needs to be established. When we study the history of revivals, before revival came to the Churches, there needed to be action as well as Prayer. So often, revival comes to the Church that is prayerfully prepared. Not publicly prepared, but prayerfully prepared.
