revive 2010: day 15

But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. ⁹ The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me. ¹⁰ Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more. ¹¹ Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.

¹² “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now. ¹³ When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. ¹⁴ He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me. ¹⁵ All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.’ --john 16:7-15

Father of glory we come before you and we continue to ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit over UCSD this year. God we are reminded by the word spoken by your son Jesus about the Holy Spirit's ability to convict the world of sin, God's righteousness, and the coming judgment. God i'm asking for the power of your Holy Spirit to convict non-believers at UCSD. would the Holy Spirit bring conviction in non-believers of their sin, and how they have turned their backs to you, and would the power of the Holy Spirit cause a heart transformation to occur, leading to repentance and confession of Jesus Christ as LORD. God i'm asking for a demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit to be made evident, a demonstration of magnitudes like in the days of old, a move that will cause every soul to come face to face with you, and that there would be no doubt that you are the one true God. i'm asking for idolatry, drunkenness, and all sin to flee in the presence of your Holy Spirit. God i'm asking for fraternities, sororities to be overturned, that this year's Sungod would be ruined because so many people were convicted by God's righteousness.

God we acknowledge that the Holy Spirit will bring us into truth. God i'm asking that the Holy Spirit will guide all people to truth--that Jesus Christ would be the model of all truth. would truth not be found in textbooks, professors, or what popular culture tells us. God would your people be rooted and grounded in the truth found in your Word. would we feast on your word and the truth found in it. let your people be ones filled by the Spirit, that we may walk in the Spirit and the truth of our power and authority. let the truth of the power of your Spirit fill your people with confidence. i break off the spirit of timidity and that we would walk in the truth of our inheritance and power given to us by the Holy Spirit. let your people arise as we walk in our inheritance in Jesus' name.
