Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones

1. Repentance: Taking out Hearts of Stone for Hearts of Flesh

2 Corinthians 7:9-10 – “Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. Or you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.”

• Thank God for the stirring of His Spirit in your heart to bring you back to Himself (Philippians 2:13).

• Ask God to work in you the godly sorrow that produces repentance and leads to salvation. Pray for the Lord to give you an instant sensitivity to sin, that your heart would sorrow over sin just as Jesus does.

2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath

Holiness

Hebrews 12:14 – “Without holiness no man can see God.”

Holiness is a state of being set apart for the Lord without a spot of sin. We cannot hope to see God without working toward eradicating sin from our lives so that we can live holy lives before God.

• Ask God to show you the sin in your life. Pray for the Lord to give you the strength and strategy to overcome it.

• Ask God to mark your life with holiness and a desire to see God face to face as Moses did.

Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?

1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized

Immorality/Pornography

• Ask God to break the addiction to pornography off the emerging generation. Pray for this generation to be holy and pure, spotless and blameless as they stand before their Savior and Lord.

• Pray for revelation of the power of God to set them free from all immorality and propel them into the plans and purposes of God for their lives.

2. Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized

Ghana

Titus 2:14: “(Jesus Christ) who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.”

• Let the burning devotion to Jesus turn into a zealous commitment to go and make disciples of all nations. Ask God to make them zealous for His name and His glory to be made known among the nations.

• Pray for the Lord to reveal to each student the gifts and abilities that God desires to use in their lives among the unreached. Pray for God to stir the hearts of many students who would go together to share their story of God’s redeeming love.

3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups

Pray over the people group that you have adopted for these 21 days. Pray for the hearts of this people group to be softened to the message of the gospel.

“Break up the fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns” – Jeremiah 4:3

Ask God to break up the fallow ground of their hearts and cause them to see their sin and separation from God. Ask God to use any means necessary whether through circumstances, relationships, jobs, finances, or anything else to bring them to their knees in repentance before Almighty God, the Holy of holies.
