Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Taking out Hearts of Stone for Hearts of Flesh
James 2:1 – “My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.”
• Repent of the divisions, racism and favoritism in your own heart and in the church today in some parts of the world. Pray for a restoration of fervent love for all the brethren. (1 Corinthians 3:3-4)
Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath
Embracing Jesus’ Terms of Discipleship
Read Luke 9:23
Jesus desires that we would be His disciples, but we must count the cost before we fully understand what it means to follow Him. We are called to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily and follow Him. Are we ready to embrace these terms of discipleship?
• Pray for the Lord to humble your heart and make you willing to deny yourself in order to pursue God’s will for your life.
• The road of discipleship is lined with obstacles that represent suffering in our lives. Ask the Lord to help you embrace the suffering and learn to lean on Jesus in those times.
Revival: A Massive Number of Dry Bones Brought to Life
Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
location: Nanyang Avenue, Singapore
Matthew 9:38 – “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
• Ask God to raise up laborers from NTU to help reach NTU students and the nations.
• Pray that NTU Christians will fear the Lord and see the importance of following the ways of the Master.
• Pray for pre-believers in NTU to see and understand Jesus’ sacrifice and love for them.
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Unity Brings Life & an Army
1 Corinthians 15:58 – “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
• Pray:
“Holy Spirit, come and remind us that unity takes work. Teach us that doing events together isn’t unity. Help us understand the profound love and concern for one another that breeds the deep bonds of unity in our hearts and not just on a piece of paper. Let us not give up easily but be steadfast in our pursuit of working together for the sake of the Kingdom. When the seasons of trial come to test the relationships that have been built, make us immovable, and unwilling to give room to the enemy or his schemes. Through unity, let us abound in the work of the Lord. We ask for an abundant harvest, a massive revival, a mighty outpouring of the Spirit in the lives of people around the world. For Your glory, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized
Ignorance of Scripture
• Message bearers who do not know the Word of God can easily become lost in the schemes of the enemy or subject to the whims of the flesh. Pray for message bearers to have a hunger for the Word of God, to read and meditate on the truths of God’s Word, and to memorize Scripture.
• Pray that the Word of God would not just be words on a page, but meaningful truths that go deep in their hearts.
Receiving the Breath of God to Enter into Our Inheritance
Mark 1:35 – “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place, and there he prayed.”
• Beyond His speaking through people, God longs to speak individually to us. Pray that God will bring a strong emphasis among us on consistent private times of personal devotion. Pray for a hunger and desire to arise in the emerging generation to have these times with God on a daily basis. Pray that they would so hunger for them that even one day apart from time with God would drive them back to His presence.
Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
John 6:27 – “‘Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal on Him.’”
• Pray for students to give their lives and their labor for the food that endures to everlasting life. Ask God to give them sacrificial lives that would give their own lives so others might know the everlasting life.
• Pray for perseverance to go, though the road may be difficult, to the hardest places in the world.

• Karachi is the financial capital of Pakistan. Ask God to awaken the hearts of these financial business men with a desire for freedom, truth, and hope. Pray for small groups of business men to come together to study God’s Word and pray together.
• Ask God for more message bearers to go to Karachi and reach this strategic city with His love and compassion. Pray for God to move on the hearts of students around the globe to be burdened with a desire to go to Pakistan.
