Do you want to see revival breaking out in your town, in your nation, or in our world? Now is the time to be praying for a move of God that will usher in revival. The key to seeing this revival is the empowering work of the Holy Spirit.
Jessie Penn-lewis, a Welsh evangelical speaker who was closely involved with Evan Roberts in the Welsh revival of 1904-1905, wrote
“The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the essence of Revival, for Revival comes from a knowledge of the Holy Spirit, and the way of co-working with Him which enables Him to work in Revival power… Such an infilling of the Spirit was the cause not only of the Revival in Wales in 1904-5, but of all other Revivals in the history of the world.”
Jessie Penn-Lewis with Evan Roberts, War on the Saints, Thomas E. Lowe, LTD. New York, 2017 (Org 1911) pg.286-287
Many of us have been praying that the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic would be the occasion for God to send a great revival, a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit that would bring the manifest presence of God, transforming human hearts and entire societies.
I have been seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit as to how Jesus is calling us to do this. And I felt the Lord say, “I am calling PRMI to continue its basic work of creating contexts or venues for God the Father to work to fulfill Acts 1:4-8.”
My response was, “Lord, that is great! But during the coronavirus pandemic, we can’t meet for face-to-face teaching and laying on of hands to receive the Baptism and infilling with the Holy Spirit as we normally do through our Dunamis Project events.”
The Lord answered back, “I am calling my people to enter into many upper rooms, now in cyberspace, so that I may pour out my Holy Spirit upon them to receive the gifts and power needed to be my witnesses in this time of crisis.”
I submitted this guidance to the core PRMI Leadership Team for discernment. The answer came back with a resounding YES! The Lord is calling us to offer the invitation to enter upper rooms several times a week until Pentecost.
Enter the Virtual Upper Room
Each Virtual Upper Room will be staffed just like a normal onsite Dunamis with a team providing prayer cover, and with two or more Dunamis teachers. They will answer questions and pray with people through the steps for asking for and receiving the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
For those who have already had this experience, the prayers will be to be filled anew with the Holy Spirit for this present opportunity. To help prepare for this prayer, we will offer a free e-book on how to pray for and receive the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
We are working on the mechanics of how to do this. This project will be promoted on PRMI’s networks of 1000’s of emails and through Charisma’s networks to 100,000’s of people online starting April 21, 2020.
This is a colossal challenge and an unprecedented opportunity to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in equipping witnesses for Jesus Christ.
The vanguard of all moves of the Holy Spirit are the intercessors. This Discerning The Times is a call to intercessors to step into the gap to pray for the following:
Prayer Points:
- We need prayer cover for the PRMI leadership team, intercessors, and Dunamis teachers who will be implementing this Welcome to the Virtual Upper Room project.
- Ask the Lord to pour out the Holy Spirit upon us to be anointed with the gifts and power needed to lay hands virtually on people to actually experience the Baptism with the Holy Spirit and His manifestational gifts to be effective witnesses for Jesus Christ.
- Pray for the financial provision needed to keep doing this work. We have no gifts coming in through offerings because ALL of our events have been cancelled. Keeping the ministry going and stepping out in faith to offer this ministry online costs money. So, please pray for provision! We really need it!!!
- Please pray for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit during this time, leading up to Pentecost on May 31, 2020. In the Upper Rooms, we will be praying for the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, but for us intercessors, I believe that we need to pray the prayer the first disciples prayed when they were facing persecution and circumstances like we are facing that Satan intended for evil.
Let us pray together as we move into this time filled with hope and with great danger.
I will send you more information about the actual invitations to the Upper Room as they are being developed. Just now our urgent need is prayer cover for this massive and strategic endeavor.
Please share any discernment you receive with us.

Oh my! I believe God has called me to deep intercession several months ago with great travail during the night. I started setting aside Friday mornings for special Intercessory prayer in hopes that others would join me. I have called it a time of UPPER ROOM INTERCESSORY PRAYER and now I receive your email!!!! I have felt like the Lone Ranger but this email now is so encouraging!
Abraham, when about to offer Isaac was halted by God, and when he, Abraham, turned, saw a ram caught in the thicket. I submit, this demon-driven virus would like to catch us all in the thicket but, that is where God had supplied the ram. Let’s turn and look for the ram that is available for God is Jehovah Jireh who sees and supplies in times of crisis as well in times of bounty. The is a ram in the thicket for you!!!!!!!
Thanks for including me.
This resonates with me. Earlier today I had a desire to ‘pray for the world.’ That ‘word’ and desire was new to me and I’m excited to see how God will use the Upper Room gatherinigs!
I will be praying. I have heard the same guidance of revival and an outpouring. That many would come to know Him. Glory to God Amen.
I will be praying. This is my heart cry, that every man, woman, and child will have multiple opportunities to see, hear and respond to the Gospel of The Kingdom. May God be glorified.
Rooting in the spiritual realm.
Regardless of your goals for this event… This is a God event. I think it’s fantastic! This will be an event in which we are plugging into technology and the flow of the internet to pray for virtual impartation…. Um that is a place that we haven’t really tapped into!! This is pioneering!! God’s going to show us a LOT of stuff through this. Don’t know what… But He is!!!
Hello and praise the precious name of Jesus. I’ve had such a deep cry in my spirit for revival throughout the entire earth during this time. From the desperation of the pandemic, many people’s hearts are desperate searching for a solution. Many are now ready harvest yielded to God, but they do not know how to find him. There’s a great famine in the hearts of men for an experience with God. The scripture below describes it well. God is counting on intercessors and he’s raising many throughout the world that will stand in the gap and call on the heavens, so he will rain down revival. When God is set to revival a people, he will send a hunger for prayer, a hunger for his presence. I don’t know i have come to receive this email. But God must be up to something. And am on standby waiting for his divine instruction upon my spirit.
Amos 8:11-12 King James Version (KJV)
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
The great famine opens mighty doors as Paul puts in Corinthians. Doors of intercession, doors of preaching the gospel by whatever means available, doors of reaching out to the lost and hopeless with the love of Christ.
1 corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
Necessity is therefore laid upon us, both to intercede and to preach the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:16
The fields are white, and ready for the harvest, may the lord of the harvest raise and send out more intercessors and soul winners into his vine yard. John 4:35, Mat 9:38
I’m blessed by this you are doing. And i wish to tap into it. I already was praying, but spiritual synergy is more powerful and it availeth much more.
Dear PRMI family,
This is a great idea, and I would love to invite people to attend, but I don’t see dates or times or a link to attend, only opportunity to intercede. ( I would love to be on the wall, but we only have two weeks to pack our home and drive to CA) can you email me the link and dates and times so I can forward it to others?
With love and prayers,
Annie Irwin
Once we have the dates and times decided we will make them known.
hi I would love to be apart of this so exciting. holy ghost fire wow. thank you
Iam ready and willing to pray that God’s power may manifest through His Church, like – Acts 10:38
Hello All. May the Name of Jesus be lifted high and glorified!! I am praying and would love to interceded during this time(whatever that looks like) As I was reading this I felt the Lord saying do not focus on what you do not have but on who I am! I (the Lord) am your all in all. This is my work and I will accomplish it, just step out and see what I will do! I saw a wall, it was very thin and all that was needed was to push through it…the time is now!
I share this dream because I feel it is relevant to your movement:
I had a dream in 2 parts.
1st: I was ‘viewing’ the church leaders conversation of plotting to get rid of Martin Luther.
2nd: I was ‘viewing’ the Pharisees plotting to get rid of Jesus. They were even examining the ground where the cross would be placed.
I woke up and began warfare prayers for reform to happen and protection from evil.
Prayerful interpretation:
Both men represent Reform of a movement. God is reforming his church in this pandemic. The enemy will try to stop it. Christ will build his church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Count me in for prayer and/or participating. For we hold the keys of the kingdom of heaven in prayer.
