Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones

1. Repentance: Hearts of Stone becoming Hearts of Flesh

Luke 16:10-12 – “’He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?’”

• Ours is a generation of wasters. God calls us to be good stewards of the resources with which He has entrusted us. Look at your life and confess and repent of every form of waste of money, time, and giving either by not employing them to their full potential, or by using them for things that do not bring God glory (1 Corinthians 15:10).

2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath

Embracing a Lifestyle of Devoted Prayer

Read Matthew 6:6

Prayer is not just an activity but a lifestyle of ongoing conversation with God. We must seek God in the secret place and we must pray without ceasing. We cannot choose one without the other or we do not know communion with God. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

• Pray for God to give you a hunger for prayer and time just with Him. Ask God to show you the joys of spending time in His presence and cultivating a deeper relationship with Him.

• Ask God to teach you how to have a lifestyle of devoted prayer. Some people have a prayer life but not a lifestyle of prayer. Ask God to cultivate a lifestyle of prayer in your life.

Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?

1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized

Worldliness

• Ask God to help us to resist the temptation to look and act like the world. Sometimes we get caught up in the ways of the world and fail to distinguish between the world and God’s Kingdom. Pray for eyes, ears, and hearts that would discern God’s Kingdom.

• Pray for the Spirit to rest upon message bearers and set them apart for service in His Kingdom. Pray for God to give them grace to walk in His ways and statutes.

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

Malaysia

Galatians 2:20 – “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

• Ask God to saturate campuses in Malaysia with the spirit of the crucified life that each student would not live for themselves but for Christ and Him alone, dying to themselves and their desires that they would choose God’s ways and God’s heart in every circumstance.

• Pray for faith to arise in these students, that though hard times come they would rely on the One who loves them and gave Himself for them.

3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5

- Pray for message bearers going out to this people group to be ones who abide in the Lord, who are saturated in the Word of God, and are filled with the power of the Spirit. Ask for the Lord to show them that with Him all things are possible but without Him we can do nothing.
