OUR SPIRITUAL HUNGER AND PRAYERS FOR REVIVAL PART 2
Lord, we come to You. You have called us by name. We; “...who once were far off...” (see Eph. 2:13 NKJ) but have now; “... been brought near by the blood of Christ.”(see Eph. 2:13 NKJ) You God have chosen us in Christ before the foundation of the world; “... that we should be holy and without blame...” (see Eph. 1:4 NKJ) before You in love. (see Eph. 1:4)
You, Jesus have; “... [a]made us accepted in the beloved.” (see Eph. 1:6-9 KJV footnote: [a] Ephesians 1:6 Lit. bestowed grace (favor) upon us) In You we have redemption through Your blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of Your grace. (see Eph. 1:6-9 KJV)
Forgive me anew
Wash me anew
Own me anew
Use me anew for Your glory.
May our eyes be good and our bodies be full of Your holy light. Within us may there be; “... no part dark...” (see Luke 11:34-36)
Thank You that You hear us. You always hear us.
We want to express our trust in You. We do not trust in ourselves but in You God who raised the dead. (see 2 Cor. 1:9KJV)
We are asking You to do a work in us, in our hearts, in our lives, in Your Church that would bring glory to Your name. That it would be said of this place; “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.'” (Matt. 4:16NKJ)
LORD, we have great need of revival and we are asking You that revival would be let lose in our church and in our region. Father, enlighten the eyes of our understanding to the hope of Your calling, to the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints and to the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe. (see Eph. 1:18 KJV)
We choose to believe.We choose to believe.
We are not praying to a dead god. We are praying to the God who; “... is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, ...”. (see Eph. 3:20KJV)
Send revival. Send revival. Send revival.
LORD, we humble ourselves before You and pray. Father, instead of revealing to the wise and prudent, it pleased You to reveal Your truth to babes.(see Luke 10:21KJV) We humble ourselves before You and come to You as babes. I know nothing. I need You to show the way. Would You do something in and through us for the glory of Your name that would confound the wise.
We cry out to You God who works all things according to the council of Your will (see Eph. 1:11NKJ), to work out Your will in us, yes, Your will in us.
“O wretched man that I am! ...” (Ro. 7:24KJV)
Break off religion.
Break off anything that would prevent me from being undignified before You LORD. (see 1 Samuel 6:22)
Lord we come to the Light. Do in us what needs to be done for revival to flow through us without obstruction. Will You meet us here LORD? Will You use us in this hour?
God, we are Your workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which You have; “...prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (See Eph. 2:10NKJ) We want to do the good works. We want to walk in them. We need You LORD.
LORD we are hungry for You. You have spoken Your word to us. You have talked with us on the road and our hearts have burned within us.
(see Luke 24:32) Will You now fulfill Your word in us.
You Jesus are our peace. (see Eph. 2:14)
Through You we have; “...access by one Spirit to the Father.” (see Eph. 2:18NKJ)
We are asking You, Father to pour out revival, here, in Jesus name.
We thank You God for the unity that You are blessing us with in Your Church. Jesus You are the chief cornerstone and in You we are fitting together more and more. Keep building us; “together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” ( Eph. 2:22 NKJ)
Keep fitting us together for Your glory.
Father again we ask You for revival. Even those who do not know You, know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will You, heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. We are asking for a pouring out of The Holy Spirit upon us and upon our land. Father, we ask in Jesus name. (see Luke11:13)
LORD, help us to redeem the time for the days are evil (see Eph. 5:16) Help us to walk worthy of the calling with which we were called (see Eph. 4:1-3NKJ) Help us to walk; “With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Eph. 4:2-3KJV)
Cause us to be renewed in the spirit of our minds, putting on the new man. (see Eph. 4:23) Keep us from giving any; “...place to the devil.” (Eph. 4:27KJV)
We want to walk as children of light and to be; “...followers of God,...”(Eph. 5:1KJV)
Lord, we need revival. We really need revival.
Would You bestow it? Make Your church strong in the Lord and in the power of Your might. (see Eph. 6:10-11)
