Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Hearts of Stone becoming Hearts of Flesh
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 – “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body – whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free – and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.”
• Confess and repent of every neglect of fellowship with believers and a critical spirit towards others or the Church in general. We hurt ourselves when we are not bonding with the brethren. (Heb. 10:25)
2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath
Waiting Upon God in Trust and Dependence
Read Psalm 37:1-7
Waiting on God is not an idle activity of simply passing time, but instead it is an active engagement with God to see His promises come to pass by trusting His character and power to accomplish all that He has promised. In waiting, we must also learn to depend upon Him and not our flesh, always looking with faith to see Him in our midst.
• Pray for patience to wait upon God and trust Him, even though there is no physical evidence for faith and trust.
• Ask the Lord to deepen your trust in Him and teach you to depend on Him and not on your own ideas or understanding.
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized
Criticalness
• Ask God that a spirit of grace would be upon message bearers and that rather than being critical of others they would be loving and kind.
• Pray they would be able to hear God’s voice clearly and discern His will, not looking just to the negative but knowing that God’s plans are good and He gives us a future and a hope.
2. Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
2 Corinthians 4:6 – “For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
• Pray for light to pierce and convict their hearts that they cannot keep the light to themselves, but they must share it with those who have not heard.
• Pray for multitudes of students to rise up and go to the nations, that they would be lights shining in the darkness in unreached places.
3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups
Read Ephesians 4:14-19
- Pray for believers in this people group to be strengthened in their faith no matter how small. Ask the Lord to increase the revelation of His love for them so that they would be able to “comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height” of Christ’s love. Pray for the fullness of God to fill these believers.
