DECLARATION OF INTENT

IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, the central focus in every God-given corporate revival . . .

With the growing conviction that a general moral and spiritual awakening to Christ is the desperate need of our churches and of our nation as a whole . . .

Out of an increasing sense of urgency for Christian leaders and churches in America to find new levels of consensus and collaboration concerning the biblical nature and Hope of corporate revival . . .

With personal determination to no longer simply be for corporate revival, but rather to be wholeheartedly about the work of appealing to both God and to my fellow believers for corporate revival . . .

And realizing my own perpetual need for a fresh work of Christ in personal revival even as I seek corporate revival . . .

WITH GREAT HOME IN GOD, I solemnly join with other churches and leaders across America in this Declaration of Intent . . .

I will PERCEIVE . . . Because God has awakened me to the urgent need and multitude of biblical promises for Christ-centered revival among Christians and churches, I will continue building my vision for this through Scripture, study, prayer, and interaction with believers similarly awakened. And I will apeal to others to do the same.

I will PRIORITIZE . . . Out of my commitment to the supremacy of Christ in His Church, I will reorder my walk with Him and my ministry for Him, so that I am found to be constantly living for corporate revival in my church, and in our nation. And I will appeal to others to do the same.

I will PURIFY . . . Because corporate revival is an extraordinary work of the Holy Spirit, I will repent as a way of life, confessing and turning from everything that grieves, quenches, resists, or disobeys the ministry of the Spirit. And I will appeal to others to do the same.

I will PRAY . . . In concert with the groundswell of prayer for awakening and revival across the Body of Christ in this generation, I will intercede (both alone and with others) for corporate revival as a key dimension of my daily walk with Christ. And I will appeal to others to do the same.

I will PROCLAIM . . . Since biblical revival must be anchored in God's Word, and because faith for corporate revival comes by hearing the promises and discovering the ways of God in revival, I will let this message of repentance and hope dominate my conversations with and ministry to Christians and churches where God places me. And I will appeal to others to do the same.

I will PREPARE . . . Since I expect God to ultimately answer our prayers, fulfill His promises, and grant corporate revival to Christians and churches in America, I will start living now, in all areas of discipleship and church activity, in anticipation of and full readiness for the spiritual awakening to Christ for which we wait. And I will appeal to others to do the same.

I will PARTNER . . . Because the hope of impending corporate revival requires a new era of consensus and collaboration among leaders and churches in America, I will be proactive in encouraging associations, networks, and coalitions (especially at the local community level) among believers committed to the hope of a spiritual awakening to Christ. And I will appeal to others to do the same.
