Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Taking out Hearts of Stone for Hearts of Flesh
Psalm 119:136 – “Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law.”
• Before we can effectively reach the nations we must have a burden for those around us. Repent of a lack of compassion for the lost around you. Ask for a heart for the lost (Psalms 119:136; Romans 9:1-3). Ask the Lord of hosts to fill you with the same compassion that Jesus had as He looked upon the multitudes.
Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath
Knowing the Powerful Presence of God
Read Exodus 33:15
Moses was a man who knew the powerful presence of God and knew that it was pointless to go anywhere without it.
• Pray for a greater understanding of God’s presence in your life. Ask Him for an encounter with His presence that would shape your understanding.
• Ask God to teach you how to depend upon His presence and not your flesh, especially in times of trial. Pray for humility to remember that God’s ways are higher than your ways.
Revival: A Massive Number of Dry Bones Brought to Life
Hanyang University
Locations: Seoul and Ansan, South Korea
Hebrews 12:28-29 – “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.”
• Ask for students to burn with fire in their hearts of wholeheartedness toward God. Before we can minister to others the revival must begin in our own hearts. We must give him all that we have and all that we are in complete surrender. We must let the fire of His presence purge us of all of our sins and catalyze us into our destinies.
• We must respond to God with the fear of the Lord, knowing only He can revive us. Godly fear recognizes that God is sinless and we are sinful and the only bridge across that gap is His blood. We must live understanding that we are nothing without Christ in us, Christ through us, Christ before us, Christ behind us, Christ below us, Christ above us. Jesus Christ is our only hope and His fire burning within us is a constant reminder of our need for Him. Pray for the fear of the Lord to penetrate the hearts of students in a deep and personal way.
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Unity Brings Life & an Army
Psalm 27:4 – “One thing I have desired of the LORD, and that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple.”
• Pray:
“Father God, as the body of Christ and the army of the Lord, make us single-minded in our focus on You and You alone. Our cry is to be like Mary who sat at Your feet and You said that she had chosen the better part and it would not be taken away from her. Lord, we choose to sit and wait, to look and behold, to listen and inquire in Your presence. We look not to benefits or answered prayer, but to You and Your character. We declare that You are glorious and awesome to behold. Your justice and mercy, Your wisdom and grace, Your splendor and majesty are almost too much to fathom. We do not want to pursue programs, doctrines, ideologies, or dogmas. We do not rest in achievements, laurels, merits, or labors. Our end goal is You. Our destiny to be like You, conformed into Your image. Let nothing distract us from fixing our eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith. When troubles arise, let us be single-minded in looking to You and not our circumstances. We march forth in Your righteousness, clothed in Your mercy, upheld by Your grace, and compelled to bear Your good news. Lord, lead us on toward You and Your purposes on earth. In Jesus’ glorious and majestic name, Amen.”
Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized
Negative Parental Influence
• Whether this is from their parents’ not being believers or from believing parents who insist on ungodly goals, we must honor our parents but not more than our love for God. God must be number one in our honor and love. Pray for message bearers not to let their parents keep them from going after God and His call on their lives, even if it means not honoring their parents’ desires for them to have good jobs earning lots of money.
Receiving the Breath of God to Enter into Our Inheritance
Psalm 68:11 – “The Lord gave the word; great was the company of those who proclaimed it.”
• Ask God to raise up anointed voices through the media. Pray for powerful prophetic journalists to be raised up and those already existing anointed all around the world. Ask God to give their mouths boldness to proclaim truth and light in the darkness.
Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
• Pray for multitudes of students throughout Indian campuses to understand the good works that God has prepared beforehand as going to the nations to share God’s love.
• Pray for these students who are mobilized to be convinced that they are God’s workmanship, uniquely created, prophetically destined to be God’s ambassador.
Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for 21 Unreached Cities
- Population: 2,525,000
- Major Religion: Islam
- Language: Arabic
• Often friendly to foreigners and especially western governments, Jordan is a strategic country that borders more difficult countries like Syria and Saudi Arabia. Pray for favor for message bearers to develop relationships with Jordanians who are hungry for the gospel, ask God to broaden their networks to find those who are seeking.
• As Jordan is considered to be the cradle of civilization, pray that an awakening would arise in Amman and souls would come to know their Creator. Ask God for this awakening to spread to cities throughout the country and the region.
