Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Taking out Hearts of Stone for 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.
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!
Revival: A Massive Number of Dry Bones Brought to Life
University of Manila
location: Manila, Philippines
Luke 18:1 – “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.”
• Pray for desperation within their hearts, souls, and minds that without Him they won’t make it. Pray that they would resemble the widow who kept going to the judge, refusing to give up, refusing to let God rest until He brings revival to them and their universities.
• Pray for them to be people of prayer who would pray in revival, pray in the laborers to be sent out, pray in the harvest, pray over the new believers to become passionate disciples. God, make them prayer warriors!
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Unity Brings Life & an Army
Isaiah 60:1-2 – “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.”
• Pray:
“Lord God Almighty, for every national student mission movement we cry out for the glory of the Lord to rise upon them. Though we live in dark times, when people have been blinded by the dark schemes of the enemy, yet will His message bearers be sent out with the glory of the Lord upon their heads, covering them as they go in and go out in dark places all over the earth. Let message bearers from these national student mission movements be marked by the presence of the Lord. May the peace and love and unity of Jesus Christ radiate from them and be more contagious than the darkness around them. Thank You Jesus that Your light cannot be overtaken by the darkness nor can the darkness understand it. For those living in darkness, enlighten the eyes of their hearts and let them see with eyes of faith the love of the Father waiting for them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
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.
Receiving the Breath of God to Enter into Our Inheritance
Revelation 22:17 – “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”
• History shows how God has often used the student movement as a prophetic voice to the larger Body of Christ. Ask God to do it again in our generation and use us to communicate the breath of God upon his body. Ask God to “COME!”
Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
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.
Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for 21 Unreached Cities
- Population: 1,500,000
- Major Religion: Islam
- Languages: French (official), Wolof, Soninke, Seereer-Siin, Fula, Maninka, Diola
• Many people groups call Senegal home. Pray for the Lord to spread revival throughout the city of Dakar touching all of these various people groups. Ask God to soften their hearts and make them hungry for God’s word which is the only thing that gives life.
• Pray for hundreds of message bearers to go to Dakar and touch these people’s lives with the love of Jesus, and to go out from this city into the many villages to tell those who have never heard of our Savior Jesus Christ.
