Abandoned Devotion:
Bringing Life to Dry Bones
1. Repentance: Hearts of Stone becoming Hearts of Flesh
Psalm 139: 23-24 – “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties, and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
• Pray the prayer of David that ignites repentance in Psalm 139:23-24. Ask God to search you and begin to show you the things for which you need to repent. Take a moment to silently listen.
2. Wholeheartedness: No Bone Left Without Sinews and Breath
Seeking the Kingdom of God:
- Read Matthew 6:33
The tendency is for us to get carried away by the hardships we face globally today. God says in all these circumstances we should seek eternity first.
• Pray that our hearts, as bearers of the gospel, would not be caught up in grumbling and complaining about circumstances but in focusing our hearts upon Jesus.
• Pray for us not to seek results in the number of people we have led to the Lord but to seek Christ and Him alone.
Global Proclamation:
When Dry Bones Live, Then What?
1. Barriers to Seeing the Army Mobilized
Fear of the Unknown
• Knowing that God has called you to go, but not knowing what it will be like when you get there. God is sufficient; His grace is enough; like Caleb and Joshua, have faith in God and not your circumstances. Pray for message bearers to understand these truths at a deep heart level.
• Pray for message bearers who continually face the unknown in new cultural situations to know the strength and power of the Lord to hold them and keep them.
2. Mobilizing the Army: Prayer for 21 Nations to be Mobilized
1 Corinthians 2:4 – “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.”
• Pray for the younger generation to not be concerned with the words they speak but about the Spirit of God in them. Pray for them to dig deep in the Lord and be convinced of God’s love for them and for others.
• Ask God to anoint these young people with power to confront those things that are not aligned with God’s heart and will. Ask God to guard their hearts that they would not seek the power but seek the One who has the power.
3. Possessing Our Inheritance: Prayer for Adopted People Groups
Read Acts 10: 1-8 – Ask the Lord for a release of dreams, visions, miracles, and powerful preaching among this people group to draw them into relationship with Jesus. Pray for the Lord to highlight certain message bearers to those with questions so that they might know the full revelation of Jesus Christ, Him crucified and risen.
