Prayer Awakening

"Awake to the Holy Spirit"

Praise God as the all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful most-high God who brought the universe into existence with the word of His mouth and who acts on the behalf of His people--Isaiah 43: 10-13; 44:6--8; 46:9, 10; Romans 11:33-36

Thank God for sending His Holy Spirit, who convicts, calls, regenerates, renews, gives gifts, empowers, anoints, comforts, and guides believers toward His purpose in the world, pointing men to Christ and bringing glory to Him--John 16:5-15

Pray the Lord will sanctify and visit His church with a mighty outpouring of His Spirit, igniting her into passionate abandon for Him and His purposes--Psalm 51:10-13; John 17:17-19; Acts 4:31

Intercede for God to release the manifold work of His Spirit among His people, granting wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge, fear, and wise judgment to complete the ministry He has ordained for this generation--Isaiah 11:1-4

Believe, decree, and declare that the fruit and gifts of the Spirit will begin to be more fully realized within the Body of Christ--Galatians 5:22, 23; 1Corinthians 12:1-11; Romans 12:6-8

"Why does God allow us to spend so much of life in the heat of battle?
Because He never meant for us to sip His Spirit like a proper cup of tea. He meant for us to hold our sweating heads over the fountain and lap up His life with unquenchable thirst."
--Beth Moore

Pray specifically for Asia, Australia, and the Oceania Region.
