Remember how excited everyone is when they get the Holy Ghost. That's one reason new converts bring more people to God then the older saints.
I've read about C.P. Kilgore and his wife praying up to (10) yours a day when they needed a break through in a new town. After a few days of this people would hit the altar praying for mercy.
I've also read about how in one town the school superintendent litterly beat R.G. Kilgore, that holy roller kid, then sent him home and told him not to come back to school. The Kilgores cleaned him up prayed for him and sent him back to school (I believe it was) the next day. That superintendent got the Holy Ghost not to long after that.
I have two books by Andrew D. Urshan. One is "The Supreme Need of the Hour" and the other is "The Life of Andrew Bar David Urshan. I have not read either one in several years. But there is a couple of things that I remember from one or the other. I don't remember exactly how it's written but I believe it said we don't pray, sing and preach enough about the name of Jesus. That was years ago, you can imagine how deficient we are now.

Three or four times in our services recently a message in tongues have gone forth, the interpretation had this included "If you will lift me up said I not that I would draw all people unto me?"
I don't deny that one element is worship, another element is this, is he lifted up to have the pre-eminence in our lives?
That is a question we can all ask ourselves.
