day 2

Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones

1. Repentance: Hearts of Stone becoming Hearts of Flesh

Psalm 36:9 – “For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.”

• Repentance begins at the point we see ourselves as God sees us. (Is.6:1-7). Pray for yourself as well as the global student groups that we will see ourselves in the light of God. (Psalm 36:9; 1 John 1:7).

• As we grow in God, we continue to see more of the perfection of the Lord and the depth of sin within us. Pray for the light of God to expose the sin and bring repentance, that we might be light and salt in a dark world.

2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath

Allow the Holy Spirit to Play His Role

• Read Ezekiel 37 and Romans 8:14.

We see the role of the Spirit and the implications of His role in our lives. Jesus before His departure made mention of the role the Holy Spirit would play in the life of the Christian in His absence as He is to continue/sustain the work He started here on earth.

• Pray for the Lord to show you how to depend upon the Holy Spirit to sustain you in every way. Ask God to teach you not to rely upon your flesh or worldly wisdom but only upon Him.

• Pray to be led by the Spirit in every decision you make. Ask God to make it clear to you the way in which He wants you to walk.

Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?

1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized

Idolatry

• Idolatry is anything that we make more important than God in our lives. Ask God to bring revelation and discernment to those areas where there is idolatry. Pray for message bearers not to let ministry become the goal rather than the goal of knowing God.

• Pray for single-mindedness in this generation. Pray that they would desire only one thing – God and God alone. Pray for them to have an intense desire to please God and may they find knowing God in a deeper way truly satisfying.

2. Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized

Romania

Acts 4:13: “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.”

• Pray for the Romanian Church to stand united behind the young people sent out from their churches. Only together can these young people dare to believe and see God do incredible exploits in their generation.

• Ask God to pour out boldness in Romanian students so they would go, and that people who haven’t heard the gospel would marvel at their deep intimacy with Jesus Christ and be compelled to know the One who inspires such boldness in their hearts.

3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups

” whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God should shine on them.” – 1 Corinthians 4:4

Ask the Lord to break down the barriers holding people back from accepting the gospel. Pray for the revelation of the Holy Spirit to penetrate their hearts with the incomparable riches of knowing Christ. Ask the Lord for everything else to pale in comparison to the glory of knowing Jesus Christ and being found in Him.
