Abandoned Devotion:

Bringing Life to Dry Bones

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

Philippians 3:18-19 – “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame – who set their mind on earthly things.”

• When we have repented of our own sins we are ready to repent on behalf of our generation and the Church in general. Confess and repent of the enthronement of self-worship, empire-building and entertainment in much of the Church today. (Rev. 3:17) Ask for a revival of a hunger for God alone.

Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath

Walking Worthy of the Lord

Read Colossians 1:10

In all that God has called us to do, we must seek to walk worthy of the Lord. Paul explains this phrase as seeking to fully please the Lord, being fruitful in every work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.

• Tell the Lord that the desire of your heart is to be fully pleasing to Him and to seek His face all of your days.

• Ask God to bring fruitfulness to every work that you do because fruitfulness only comes from Him. Also ask Him to increase your knowledge of Him, His character, His ways, His heart, and His thoughts.

Revival: A Massive Number of Dry Bones Brought to Life

Bandung Institute of Technology
location: Bandung, Indonesia

Psalm 106:1, 3 – “Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. … Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times!”

• Ask God to make these students people who are filled with praise. May they praise with power to war in the heavenlies. Praise is a powerful weapon of warfare. As our hearts are renewed and revived in revival, our hearts are filled with thankfulness. Satan hates nothing more than a saint who knows the source of their salvation.

• As revival sweeps across this campus, ask God to compel these students to keep justice and do righteousness as outward signs of inward relationship with God. Pray for the Lord to reveal the desperate need of those who have not heard the gospel to these students and give them hearts that sincerely want to respond to God’s call for more laborers.

Global Proclamation:

When Dry Bones Live, Then What?

1. Unity Brings Life & an Army

Matthew 28:19 – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

• Pray:

“Jesus, we cry out for You to raise up national student mission movements in other parts of Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America. We ask for multitudes of students who would unite their hearts with Yours, oh God, and make their declaration to “GO” to the least reached, hardest places, to declare the most wonderful, glorious news of a Savior who has died for their sins and lives that they may life in abundance. Lord, unite these students in purpose, burn in them one pure and holy passion for Your name and Your glory, fix their eyes on Your glorious desire to see all nations worshiping before Your throne. Raise up young people full of zeal who will together do more than they could ever do on their own. Show them the power found in the household of faith. We unite our hearts right now and as one voice we cry out for 100,000 new message bearers from nations all over the earth to “GO” to those who haven’t heard and proclaim the day of salvation, the year of jubilee, the reign of Christ in their hearts forever more. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized

Pride

• Pray for message bearers not to let their pride derail them into a huge fall. Pray for them to have discernment into their own hearts and accurately assess their spirituality.

• Ask God to humble these message bearers now, so that they will go to the field positioned in the spiritual realm to make a maximum impact in the kingdom.

Receiving the Breath of God to Enter into Our Inheritance

James 5:16 – “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

• Ask God to raise up many more small groups of accountability and fellowship where healing and growth happen through transparency. Pray for these groups to inspire and compel one another to follow God’s heart, no matter what the cost.

Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized

Ukraine

John 11:25 – “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”

• Pray for these students to be constantly reminded Christ did not just die for them but rose that we all might have new life. Pray these students to surrender these new lives into Christ’s hands, ready to die if it means others might receive new life as well.

• Pray for multitudes of students to go out, that they would encourage one another all the more in their faith, that Christ is sufficient in His resurrection power in every circumstance.

Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for 21 Unreached Cities

Casablanca, Morocco

• Population: 3,535,000
• Major Religion: Islam
• Language: Arabic

• Pray for message bearers to take the Bible into villages and use it to teach young girls to read because the literacy rate is so low, especially among girls. Pray that hearts would be opened as they read God’s word and they would hunger for truth.

• Pray for the churches to be established in this city and for many to come to Christ and be discipled.
