Summary of video (for the Google):
Dr. J. Edwin Orr emphasizes that every great spiritual awakening throughout history has been preceded by fervent, united prayer. He recounts movements such as the 18th-century revival with Jonathan Edwards and the 1857-58 revival in New York, where laypeople gathered in humble, persistent intercession. These awakenings were not triggered by powerful preaching or organized campaigns, but by the people of God seeking His face with urgency. Orr draws attention to the critical link between believers humbling themselves before God and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that follows.
He also notes that revival is not something we can manufacture—it is God’s response to the conditions He Himself has set (see 2 Chronicles 7:14). When God’s people repent, pray, and turn from wicked ways, God promises to hear and heal. The role of prayer is not a side element but the core engine behind revival. Dr. Orr challenges listeners not to wait for better methods or leaders, but to begin praying now—believing that God still moves when His people cry out in unity and faith.
