Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Hearts of Stone becoming Hearts of Flesh
Isaiah 58:6-7 – “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?”
• Very few churches are carrying the burden of our call to the poor and widows and orphans. (James 1:27) Repent of this lack of heart for the lost and the poor. Pray for compassion and passion for souls. (Matt. 9:36)
2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath
Walking in Meekness
Read Numbers 12:3
The Lord described Moses as the most humble and meek man on the face of the earth. Moses knew the Lord Almighty. He knew that he was not anything compared to the greatness of God. He also knew that the Lord loved him and His people, and he was confident in that love.
• Pray for a revelation of meekness and an understanding of how to walk in meekness in your daily life.
• Ask the Lord to give you a confidence and trust in His love for you. Pray that God would teach you the difference between pride and confidence and give you grace to walk in the latter.
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized
Self-dependence
• Ask God to reveal to message bearers the lie of the world that we have to do it all ourselves. Pray for God to show them how small their view of God is if they can’t learn to rely and trust in Him.
• Pray for the truth that we have been crucified with Christ and we no longer live, but Christ lives in us, to go deep and transform their understanding of reliance upon God for everything.
2. Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
Ezra 1:4 – “And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.”
• Pray for Kazak students to not fear God’s call to the nations but to willingly go, fervently seeking God’s face, and passionately sharing God’s love with all they meet. Pray for many students for every university and campus across the country to be sent out to the nations.
• Pray for the Kazak church to send these students out exceedingly blessed spiritually, emotionally, financially, and with much prayer. Pray that many would give sacrificially to see these students fulfill God’s call to go to the unreached.
3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” – Proverbs 1:7
- Pray for these believers to be gripped with the fear of the Lord – to stand in awe struck wonder of His character and deeds while understanding that without God they can do nothing. Ask the Lord to share their fear of the Lord with others, boldly proclaiming that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.
