Praying for Revival

A daily verse about the state of our nation and time for Christians reflect and unite in prayer, asking God to send a revival across our land and turn our nation back to Him.

Do we need a revival?

The Result of Sin

In Isaiah 24, the prophet says the Earth is polluted by its very own people. This is much more than not recycling or harming the ozone layer. It is polluted because of the sin of the people. It is defiled by its inhabitants because they refuse to obey God’s laws and violate His commands. When Adam sinned, the ground was cursed. Because of our sin, the earth has been turned upside down and totally different from God’s original creation.

The result is that we live in a world of disappointment, tears, and full of trouble. God’s curse brings all kinds of calamities upon the earth, from earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and pandemics. God’s judgment on sin has made the earth desolate.

From The Message Bible:

Earth is polluted by its very own people, who have broken its laws, Disrupted its order, violated the sacred and eternal covenant. Therefore a curse, like a cancer, ravages the earth. Its people pay the price of their sacrilege. They dwindle away, dying out one by one.” — Isaiah 13:9 (MSG)

The Need for Revival

  1. We need to mourn and repent of sin.
  2. In your lifetime, in what ways have your seen the results of sin on our world?
  3. How would a revival across our world impact the current course for our world?

Praying for Revival

Father, we acknowledge that our sin has polluted the world you created. We’ve seen your judgement on sin through natural disasters of all kinds and a pandemic that rages still. Father, we fall our our knees before you with repentant hearts. Forgive us of our sin. Give us hearts to seek your face and to pursue righteousness. Give us wisdom and strength to flee evil. God, we ask that you fill us with the Holy Spirit so that the light of Christ shines throughout the world. Give us a zeal and passion to truly know you and experience you in an intimate relationship. God, send a revival in our nation and in our world.

Lord, send a revival and let it begin in me.

Praying for Revival

A daily verse about the state of our nation and time for Christians reflect and unite in prayer, asking God to send a revival across our land and turn our nation back to Him.

Do we need a revival?

Over and over again, God sent prophets to call His people back to Him. The people mocked the prophets, tried to kill them, refused to listen to them. They didn’t want to be confronted with their sin. They wanted to go on living the way they wanted to – and that included worshipping idols, sacrificing their children to false gods, temple prostitution, and more.

God chose the nations of Israel to be the genealogy of Christ. This nation was supposed to have been set apart and different than the rest of the world. They were to bring others to God. Instead they forgot God and chose to be like the nations around them. Israel broke the the covenant relationship with God. Finally, God had enough and judgement came. That judgement saw Israel conquered, sent into exile, and their land was demolished.

Have you forgotten God?

He is the God that sent His son, Jesus, into the world to pay the price for our sin so that we can have a relationship with Him. That is what makes Him the “God of our Salvation.”

Even if the earth gives way and the waters roar around us, God is our the Rock of our Refuge. Psalm 32:7 says, “You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.” Because God is the “rock of our refuge,” He is our hiding place. It means that God is with us, and we need not be afraid. It means we can take comfort in being in God’s presence, trusting in the promise of eternal life.

What about you? Have you forgotten God? Do you just pull Him out when life brings a crisis? Do you just visit Him weekly at church on Sunday? God wants a relationship with us – one that is close, intimate. He wants to be a part of every moment of every day.

From The Message Bible:

You have forgotten God-Your-Salvation, not remembered your Rock-of-Refuge.” — Isaiah 13:9 (MSG)

The Need for Revival

  1. Take some time today to meditate on your relationship with God. Have you forgotten him?
  2. Have you taken time to reflect on the meaning of Christmas and thanked God for sending Jesus to save your from your sins?
  3. In the day-to-day busyness of life, do you push God out of the way to get everything done on your to-do list or do you bring Him along with you, making Him a part of your day?
  4. Ask the Holy Spirit to show areas of your life where you have forgotten God. How can you include God in those parts of your life?
  5. Are they sins you stubbornly hang on to and choose to forsake God so that you can continue living the way you want to live?

Praying for Revival

Revival begins in the heart of an individual and spreads from person to person. Would you begin praying today and asking the Holy Spirit to show you moment by moment of every day the times you forget God. Do your forget Him when making decisions for your life? Do you forget Him when life is easy? Or do you walk away from Him and blame Him when life is hard? Surrender to Him the areas of your life that God sits on the sidelines, forgotten and begin developing a close relationship with Him.

Lord, send a revival and let it begin in me.

Praying for Revival

A daily verse about the state of our nation and time for Christians reflect and unite in prayer, asking God to send a revival across our land and turn our nation back to Him.

Do we need a revival?

Isaiah 13 is a prophecy against Babylon as Isaiah saw the terrible desolation of Babylon by the Medes and Persians. The Babylonians were proud, and haughty. They persisted in their idolatries and oppressions. But when you read verses 10-16, Isaiah describes what will happen when God brings judgement on them through the conquering Medes and Persians.

Isaiah says, their faces shall be scorched with the flame. All comfort and hope shall fail. The stars of heaven shall not give their light, the sun shall be darkened. Such expressions are often employed by the prophets, to describe the convulsions of governments. God will judge them for their iniquity, particularly the sin of pride, which brings men low. There shall be a general scene of horror. Those who join themselves to Babylon, must expect to share her plagues (Revelation 18:4).

What Isaiah sees in his vision are the Medes and Persians cruel and inhuman acts that shows how corrupt the nature of man is become. Even infants do not escape their tyranny and are killed.

The Day of the Lord

Isaiah says that the Day of the Lord as come. He is speaking in both the “prophetic tense,” having in mind both a near fulfillment (the day of judgment against the Babylonian Empire), and an ultimate fulfillment (the final day of judgment at the return of Jesus). The Day of the Lord will, indeed, be terrible with wrath and fierce anger, far beyond what is described in Isaiah 13. In fact, God wanted us to be just as forewarned as Babylon was. The entire book of Revelation tells us what we can expect in the end times to come. During that time, there will not be any place for the sinner to flee to, or attempt an escape. However, just as the Babylonians continued to live just the way they wanted, today few act as though they believe the Day of the Lord will come.

From The Message Bible:

Watch now. God’s Judgement Day comes. Cruel it is, a day of wrath and anger, A day to waste the earth and clean out all the sinners.” — Isaiah 13:9 (MSG)

The Need for Revival

  1. The judgment of God’s wrath comes on those who forsake and completely abandon what amounts to both the tablets of the Law: loving God and loving others. It comes about as the result of forsaking the One True God for another and by exploiting and overcoming others for one’s own gain. It is the complete rejection of God personally and His Law completely.
  2. How does this apply to our nation today? Do our actions as a nation warrant God’s wrath?
  3. The alternative to God cleaning out the sinners through His wrath and judgement is for God’s people (Christians) to humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face, and turn from their wicked ways. Then, 2 Chronicles 7:14 tells us that God will hear us from heaven, forgive our sin, and heal our land. The alternative to God’s wrath is a revival that sweeps across our nation and changes the hearts of its people and it begins with the people of God.

Praying for Revival

Consider a day of fasting and prayer as you meditate on 2 Chronicles 7:14.

  • In what ways do you need to humble yourself before God?
  • Do you pray for a revival for your own heart and our nation?
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sin in your life and confess that to God.
  • Seeking God’s face is like having an hunger and thirst to know Him. How much do you really want to know God and have an intimate relationship with Him. Is He merely your “fire insurance” to keep you out of hell? Or is He the Holy One you worship with total love and abandon?
  • What wicked ways do you need to turn away from?
  • Ask God to hear your prayers for repentance and revival, to forgive your sin and heal our land.

Lord, send a revival and let it begin in me.

Prayer Requires the Right Attitude (1 Timothy 2:8)

by Julia Bruce
CEO and Keynote Speaker

In any prayer group at any given moment, 95% of the people will not be paying attention to your prayer. 55% will be daydreaming, 20% will be thinking about what they’re going to say when it’s their turn to pray, 14% will be wishing you wouldn’t blab so long, 5% will have their eyes open, and 1% will be wondering why you have your shirt on inside out. (Chances are you just looked to see if your shirt is on inside out.Image result for smiley face)

Why are People afraid to Pray?

Prayer. At times it seems that if you ask someone to pray, you might as well have asked them to jump off a high-rise building. Why is praying (especially out loud) something so many people are afraid of doing? Is there some big, secret, unforgiven sin that makes them afraid of talking to God? Are they so worried about what others might think about how they pray? Is there a right way to pray?

I can pray silently or out loud. I can pray at the dinner table or in my closet (actually my prayer closet is my bathroom because its the one place no one bothers me). Or, I can pray on my knees or standing on a mountain top. I can pray with my eyes closed or open (which I do when I pray while driving). I can pray out loud or silently in my heart and mind. Or I can pray with my hands folded or with them raised toward heaven. It’s a good thing we can pray anywhere and in many ways because 1 Thessalonians 5:16 says we are to pray without ceasing. The only thing we have to be sure of is praying with a right attitude.

What exactly is prayer?

Prayer is about communicating with our heavenly Father. It’s simply talking to Him and listening when He talks to us. If we all went around afraid to talk to one another because of what other people think about how we talk, we’d never say anything. So why, then, are we so worried about what people think about how we pray? We don’t have to use our “deep spiritual holy” voice and say big fancy religious words. We only just need to bring our hearts to God and tell Him what’s on our mind.

As the opening statistics show, most of the time when we pray, the people around us don’t have a clue what we are saying. So when it’s your turn to pray, don’t worry about anyone else in the room. It’s just you and God and you’re having a conversation.

Attitude says a lot

In most conversations, attitude says a lot – sometimes more than the words do.  In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, Paul was providing his young “apprentice” with some instructions and in Chapter 2, those instructions have to do with prayer. Here we find that Paul instructs Timothy on who to pray for, where to pray, and how to pray.

Who should be included in our prayers?

Paul told him to make supplications, prayers intercession, and thanksgiving for everyone, everywhere. This included kings and all who are in authority. For us, that would be our president, congress, senate, mayors, governors, city officials, police, judges, etc. And during an election year, we should be praying even harder. In Matthew 5:44 Jesus said we are to even pray for those who persecute us – those people you would consider your enemy. Does your attitude towards certain people effect how or if you pray for them? The reason we are to pray for everyone is because God desires that everyone find salvation and our prayers should reflect the heart of God.

After Paul tells Timothy who he should pray for, then then begins explaining effective prayer. Paul said that men should “pray everywhere, lifting holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

Where to pray

Everywhere. Seems simple enough. Everywhere means – everywhere. At home, church, school, office, in the car, on a plane, while your snorkeling, in the checkout line, while at the gym. Pray everywhere regardless of who is watching or who is listening. Pray everywhere regardless of what others think. Simple. It’s everywhere.

But….if I am to pray everywhere, then I need to be living my faith with integrity before everyone. It’s kind of like riding around in your car with that Jesus fish sticker and blowing through the red light as you have one hand on the horn and the other hand sticking out the window with an unkind finger gesture because they obediently stopped for the red light. As you speed past them and they see that sticker, what do they think of you? What do they think of Christ?

If you pray at the office, but everyone sees your open hostility towards your boss or someone else, what does that do to your testimony? We are to pray everywhere, which means we need to live Christ-like lives everywhere. Maybe “everywhere” is not as simple as it first looked.

How to Pray

1) Lifting holy hands. 

Does this mean we are required to have our hands raised towards heaven when we pray? And just what are holy hands?

We do not have to have our hands raise towards heaven for God to hear us. However, there is some meaning that is expressed when people lift their hands while praying or singing or worshiping God. Lifting our hands to God can also be a sign of surrender. Sort of like when a police office on TV says, “put your hands up!” When the suspect raises their hands, its a sign of surrendering to the police’s authority. So as we lift our hands, we are saying to God, “I surrender all into your authority.”

Literally speaking, there is no such thing as “holy hands” because we humans are not holy – not even in our little toe. Certainly not in our hands. The word “holy” is the Greek word hosios, which means consecrated or dedicated to God.  So by saying that Paul desired men to lift holy hands, he was saying that they should present themselves as consecrated and dedicated to God. This means that every part of who we are and every part of our lives is being presented to God. This includes presenting our spouses, children and other family to God. It is presenting our work, hopes, plans, and dreams to God. It’s presenting our money (or lack of) to God. It’s presenting our fears and failures to God. We present our worries and anxieties to God. It’s presenting everything to Him.

Everywhere. Everything. All

So far, we are to pray everywherepresent everything,  and surrender all. Everywhere. Everything. All.  God doesn’t settle for anything less. So what have you not surrendered? What in your life is not consecrated and dedicated to Him? Are there sins or compromises you are holding on to? What are you not willing to sacrifice for Him? What promises have you made, but not kept? Everyone. Everywhere. Everything. All. 

2) Pray without wrath. 

Here we find the complete opposite of everywhere, everything, all. Here God expects none. Paul didn’t say, “without wrath except for….” he simply said “without wrath. He didn’t leave any door open for even just a little bit of mad. If we have already surrendered everything, then that would include any anger. Whether you have anger towards a spouse, child, parent, coworker, another church member, or that crazy driver that almost hit you on the way to church, if you bring that anger with you into prayer, you will not have effective prayers. Psalm 133:1 says that it is good and pleasant for us to dwell together in unity. Wherever there is anger, there is division – not unity.

When Jesus taught about prayer, he said that if we realize someone has something against us we are to leave our sacrifice and go make things right before we come to worship and pray. In His model prayer that he gave the disciples as an example of how to pray, He said, “forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.” And in Matthew 6:15, He said, “But if you don’t forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing.” If we are not able to forgive others, and we insist on holding on to wrath, anger, and bitterness, our prayers will not be effective.

3) Pray without doubting. 

Hebrews 11:6 tells us that “without faith it’s impossible to please God. Faith and doubt cannot reside in the same place. Faith cancels out doubt.  Like wrath, we are to have no doubts in God. In Luke 1:37, we find that nothing is impossible with God. If we come to God in prayer with doubt, then our focus is not on God, but on ourselves. Just as God is God of the Heavens and the Universe, He is also God of the impossible. The word impossible isn’t even in His vocabulary. I’m mean, if He can just speak and suddenly there is light, fish, birds, trees, flowers, fruit, animals, creepy crawling icky things, oceans, land, and people, then why do we think anything is impossible for Him.

We allow our human finite minds to form our thought about an infinite, omnipotent, omniscience God. We want to put God in box that fits our belief criteria.  Because we are looking at God through the lenses of our own weaknesses, mistakes, hurts, and failures, we doubt His power on sovereignty. Our life experiences try to determine how we define God and what He’s capable of. For example, if you had an expected repair bill for your home and no way to get the money needed for the repair and prayed about it and God answers that prayer in some way, your faith in Him just grew. But if you prayed and prayed and are still praying and there seems to be no answer coming, it becomes harder to pray without doubts.

Help my unbelief!

James 1:6 says, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.” In Mark 9, a man has a son who has a demon and the father brings the son to Jesus’ disciples seeking help and healing, but the disciples are not able to cast the demon out. In verse 22, the father says, “If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” In my mind, I see Jesus look at the father with one eyebrow raised as he says to the father, “If you can? Everything is possible to the one who believes.” The father’s response is one we can all follow. He cries out and says, “I do believe! Help my unbelief.”

So if you’re praying in doubt, start by asking God to help your unbelief. James 1:5 says “Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.” So ask for the wisdom you need to trust and believe that He is who He says is and that He will do what He says He will do. Then turn your focus on the God of the impossibles and trust Him to meet your every need in the best way.

The Right attitude for Effective Prayers:

This then sums up the right attitude for effective prayers:

  • Pray for everyone because our prayers should reflect the heart of God and God desires everyone to be saved
  • Living with integrity and faith so that we are able to pray everywhere
  • Presenting everything of who we are to God, we are to live consecrated and dedicated lives fully surrendering all to God
  • Bring no wrath, anger, bitterness and division as we forgive others so that we can live in unity
  • Focusing on the God of the impossible so that our faith cancels out our doubt so that no doubts invade our prayers and asking God to help our unbelief with doubt does creep in.

Remember that God doesn’t settle for less than praying for everyone, praying everywherepresenting everythingsurrendering all, and having no wrath and no doubts. This is what leads to an attitude for effective prayers.

Why is daily Bible reading important?

Bible Reading is vitally important to growing spiritually and keeping our spiritual selves full. God wants us to hide His Word in our hearts, meditate on it and apply it to our lives. When we have a plan, we are more likely to follow through. Here are eight reasons you should have a daily Bible Reading plan:

  • We can find His will for our lives
  • Bible reading is our spiritual nourishment
  • It helps us be able to discern the thoughts and intents of our heart.
  • The Bible instructs us in righteousness
  • It gives us power to overcome trials, heartaches, and sin
  • God gives us many promises, but you won’t know them unless you read about them, memorize them, and know if it’s a promise intended for us today
  • God reveals Himself to us and we learn about Him which strengthens our relationship with Him
  • He also speaks to us through His Word.

Don’t miss what God has to say to you today.
It’s time to practice spiritual self-care and read your Bible!

Practice Spiritual Self care and dig into God’s Word today to be revived and renewed!
