Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Taking out Hearts of Stone for Hearts of Flesh
Psalm 119:18 – “Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.”
• The Word of God grows dark and dry when we lose the hunger and thirst. Some go for days or weeks without getting meaningfully into the Word. Confess and repent of every lack of thirst for the Word and its neglect. Ask for a fresh hunger and thirst for the Word (Psalm 119:176).
Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath
Growing in Experiential Knowledge of Jesus’ Supremacy
Read Colossians 1:15-20
Jesus is not just one among many but the only way to the Father. All things were created by Him and it is only through Him that we can find our true fulfillment.
• Ask God to show you anew that all things begin and end with Jesus. Pray for the Lord to give you revelation on how this understanding will revolutionize your relationship with Christ.
• God was pleased that all the fullness dwells in Christ. Ask the Father to show you the fullness He intends in your spiritual walk.
Revival: A Massive Number of Dry Bones Brought to Life
University of Bucharest
location: Bucharest, Romania
Isaiah 64:1-2 – “Oh that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence – as the fire burns brushwood, as fire causes water to boil – to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!”
• Pray for the Lord to bring a shaking to Bucharest at the University of Bucharest. Pray that the Lord’s name would be known throughout that university and for many to see God’s works and commit themselves to go to the nations. Revival shakes things up. Revival brings attention to God and His majesty and awesome power.
• Pray God would give many wise counselors to the students. As they hear God leading them to the nations, ask for the way to be made clear and the path to be smooth. It is not as easy for a Romanian to get to the field as a European or westerner. Ask God to make the rough places smooth and the crooked places straight so that they can fulfill God’s call and bring revival full circle to some other part of the world.
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Unity Brings Life & an Army
Revelation 5:13 – “And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: ‘Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!’”
• Pray:
“Father, thank You that the day is coming when every creature will join in unison to proclaim Your glory. Together heaven and earth will be pointed in one direction, resounding with one voice, focused on one task – worshiping the Lamb. Let our hearts even now not wait one more day to join together in worshiping Your holy Name. Let us not put off praying together to see the harvest come forth so that every creature might respond to the love of Jesus. The task is too great to wait. Lord, we cry out to convict our hearts of the urgency to see every creature hear of Your great love. Penetrate our calloused hearts when we think that the Lord should send someone else when we know You are calling us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized
Manipulation
• Pray that message bearers would resist others trying to manipulate them, their actions, and decisions. Ask God to help them recognize the manipulation as it is happening and have the Holy Spirit remind them of God’s call in the midst of it.
• Ask God to give them great strength to press into God and fulfill God’s call, regardless of the pressure they feel from others around them.
Receiving the Breath of God to Enter into Our Inheritance
2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
• Ask God to free our generation from the snare of the fear of men. There is only One whom we should fear, God Himself. Open our hearts to the fear of God (Proverbs 1:7) and make us obedient to speak forth as God leads us.
Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
2 Corinthians 12:9 – “And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
• Pray for students across Brazil to embrace their weaknesses and count them as ways to see the power of Christ displayed for His glory. Ask God to give them abundant grace as they embrace these weaknesses that they may see Christ’s strength made perfect.
• Pray for the Lord to raise up a mighty wave of students who depend upon God’s grace as they are sent out to the nations to share God’s love.
Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for 21 Unreached Cities
- Population: 2,380,000 (metropolitan area)
- Major Religion: Islam
- Language: Arabic
• Because this is one of the wealthiest countries in the world per capita, pray for the hearts of Kuwaiti citizens to not be ensnared by the things of this world but willing instead to sell all that they have to purchase the pearl of great price. Pray that they would desire relationship with Jesus Christ more than anything this world can offer.
• Pray for message bearers to have open doors to speak with these people and share the gospel with them. Ask God for many churches to be raised up and for new believers to be discipled and trained.
