Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones

1. Repentance: Hearts of Stone becoming Hearts of Flesh

Matthew 21:13 – “And He said to them, ‘It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’’”

• Confess and repent for the Church’s lack of a heart for the nations. Repent for the pride and strife between churches and missions groups that takes the focus off the Lord. Pray that our churches will become houses of prayer for all nations. Let us not rob the Lord of the glory due His name from every tribe and tongue and nation and people.

2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath

Attuning Our Ear to the Voice of God

Read 1 Samuel 3:10

The Lord desires to speak to us, but we have to tune our ears to hear His voice and recognize Him speaking to us. Samuel learned that God was speaking to him and then responded in such a way to invite a conversation.

• Pray for God to tune your ears to hear His voice that you would recognize His voice speaking to you.

• Ask the Lord to make your response to be one where you seek to enter into dialogue with God. Don’t pass over God’s invitation – pause and seek His face!

Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?

1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized

Disobedience

• Pray for the sin of disobedience to overwhelm each message bearer as the serious sin that it is with God. Ask God to give message bearers a right understanding of God’s standard of righteousness.

• Ask God to reveal His desire for relationship and that He only asks that they confess their sins. Pray for message bearers to have a heart that yearns for instantaneous obedience that flows from a heart fully devoted to God.

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

Taiwan

Esther 4:14 – “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

• Pray for these precious saints to recognize the hour in history and that the emerging generation is in a pivotal moment. Ask God to reveal to them their part in fulfilling the great commission in our lifetime.

• Pray for many students to hear the call to go to the nations, pray for ears to be opened, blind eyes to see, hard hearts to understand the cost and call. The road will be difficult but the reward will be infinitely more than we could ever dream to see.

3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups

“Do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” – Ephesians 5:18

- Pray for the believers to be filled with the Spirit. Ask the Lord empty out their fleshly desires and fill them with God’s desires. Pray that the Lord would increase within them and they would decrease.
