Jesus said it from the get-go: the Kingdom is here, within reach; meaning that what God wants to do in your life isn't about waiting for some long, drawn-out process. There is participation and activation NOW! There is heavenly power and intimate fellowship NOW!
We can say the same thing for religious revival and a "move of the Spirit" (something we Western Christians so earnestly desire). As strange as it may seem to us, it is the Spirit of Jesus who is calling for change, for commitment, for outpouring, for revival; but He is calling for it to begin AT THIS HOUR!
Christ is not hesitating. He is not the hindrance to us entering "the Promise Land,". He wants breakthrough and victory more than we do (and for better reasons); but He is saying, "Stop looking in the future. I'm right in front of you! I am your answer!"
So what are we waiting for? Let's get to the business of prayer.
