“No, it isn’t necessary,” Finney replied. “They just have a spirit of travail in prayer.”6

Finney and Nash worked together like this for the next several years. Then in 1830, an incredible revival broke out in Rochester. Although the town was inhabited by ten thousand people, more than one hundred thousand were saved. The streets became so empty during Finney’s meetings that the shops closed so employees could attend. Bars went out of business for lack of customers. Theaters closed or held prayer meetings instead of their usual shows. The crime rate dropped dramatically and stayed low for years. Charitable organizations flourished. It was said you couldn’t walk down the street and not hear someone talking about Jesus or discussing some religious matter.

Not only that, but in the history of Finney’s ministry, roughly 80 percent of those converted stayed true to their faith for the rest of their lives. For most revivals today, we are lucky if only 80 percent backslide and fall away.

Daniel Nash died on December 20, 1831, less than a year after the revival meetings in Rochester drew to a close. He was fifty-six. Finney would not see another revival of such magnitude for the rest of his life. In fact, less than four months after Nash’s death, he stopped itinerating all together and became a pastor in New York.7

Where are such Father Nash Nash es today? Where are those like Rees Howells, George Müller, Catherine Booth, and others who refused to start any endeavor unless it was first grounded in prayer? Each of these, in his or her own unique way, prayed down heaven until it enveloped the earth. Are there still generals of prayer such as these who walk the earth today?

I believe there are. There is a new generation of prayer warriors who are shaking the earth with the atomic power of their faith-filled decrees. In this hour, these generals of prayer are getting in position. A shift is taking place on this planet. Today there are ministries sprouting up around the globe focused exclusively on prayer. In 1999, Pete Greig, for example, launched 24-7 Prayer in the United Kingdom within just a few months of Mike Bickle and his team starting to pray twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week prayer at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. Both ministries have been praying around the clock ever since—more than ten years now.

In 2007, at their international conference, 24-7 Prayer was pleased that they had more than six hundred prayer rooms from around the world that had registered on their Web site. Then someone from Brazil told them about eleven hundred new prayer rooms that had opened there. Miracles are commonplace, as more and more people are gathering to pray around the clock.

A group in Uganda had gotten a word from the Lord while praying in their 24-7 prayer room—several of them each received the word Kacunga in their spirits. No one knew what it meant. They did a little research and discovered it was the name of an island in Lake Victoria.
