The Revival no General could Command

Eight Men, Three Rafts, One Miracle: The Story of Eddie Rickenbaker

In 1942, Eddie Rickenbacker’s plane vanished over the Pacific Ocean. What followed was a desperate twenty-four-day struggle for survival as eight men drifted in small life rafts with almost no food, little water, and no certainty they would be found. Yet amid hunger, storms, and fading strength, prayer became their lifeline. This remarkable true story recounts how God provided in unexpected ways—including a bird that landed at just the right moment and rain that arrived when all hope seemed lost.

When the Rain Comes: The Fruit of Spiritual Awakening

In this final episode of the Spiritual Rain series, Hanna Alway explores the fruit that follows heaven’s rain. While breaking up the fallow ground of our hearts is essential preparation, God’s ultimate purpose is transformation—bringing life, fruitfulness, and rivers of living water to places that have become dry and barren. Drawing from Scripture, particularly Isaiah 44, and from powerful examples of revival throughout history, Hanna shares how the Holy Spirit restores what has withered through disappointment, busyness, and neglect of prayer. Discover the signs of spiritual renewal, how small streams of prayer can become overflowing rivers of God’s presence, and what happens when individuals, churches, and entire communities are transformed by an outpouring from heaven. From personal renewal to citywide awakening, this episode reveals the kind of fruit that follows genuine spiritual rain—and why the revival God has done before is still possible today. ------- America Pray Now publishes a magazine on prayer that is free of charge and can be delivered directly to your home.

Preparing the Soil for Spiritual Rain

You have been asking God for rain. But is the ground prepared to receive it? Just as a farmer must break up hardened soil before seed and rain can bring fruit, our hearts must be softened before God can fully pour out His Spirit. Hearts can slowly grow hard through distraction, routine, spiritual neglect, and the noise of everyday life. Not necessarily rebellion, but simply a heart no longer being carefully tended. In this episode, America Pray Now Director Hanna Alway shares the biblical picture of breaking up the fallow ground of our hearts through prayer, honesty before God, searching the Scriptures, repentance, and waiting in His presence. When the soil of the heart is softened, it becomes prepared for the rain of heaven and the fruit that only God can produce. The rain is coming. The question is: are our hearts prepared to receive it? “Awakening begins with softened hearts.”

Lord, Send Rain Again

In 1853, during a severe drought, Charles Finney prayed for rain — and before he finished preaching, the rain began to fall. But what happens when the drought is not in the land… but in the soul? In this episode, America Pray Now Director Hanna Alway shares how spiritual dryness creeps into believers’ lives, why God sometimes allows drought seasons, and how desperate, honest prayer can prepare the ground for heaven’s rain once again. ------- America Pray Now publishes a magazine on prayer that is free of charge and can be delivered directly to your home.
