revive 2010: day 3

"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."
-Joel, prophet of God acts 2:17


God, today we come into agreement with Your word, that which you have spoken through Joel, and that which you have confirmed through Peter in Acts 2. God, today we ask for the spirit of prophecy upon your people. We are asking that you will activate the eyes and the ears of your children, that we, as your children, may hear and see and know the things upon your heart.

God, would your people be ones who walk in the Spirit. would Your people be ones who recognize the presence of the Spirit in our lives, and be able to walk in the boldness, power, and authority that comes from the Spirit. would Your people be ones hungry to hear your voice, desperate to know what you are thinking, what you are feeling. we thank You God for the Spirit of prophecy that already dwells in us the moment we are born again. thank You God that the ability to hear your voice is a gift given freely to anyone who is found in You. help us to know our position of privilege, God. we do not want to live in anything short of being able to freely dialogue with our King, our Father, our Lover.

God, we are asking for your Spirit that gives us dreams and visions. speak to us God, and give us willing ears to hear. give us direction to how we can best serve You and love You. that when we are feeling weak and tired, give us ears to hear You tell us that You love us, that You delight in us, so that we can better receive Your love. and when we are having trouble loving those around us, speak to us and teach us how to better love others.

God we are asking for an outpouring of Your Spirit. give us supernatural visions and dreams, secrets upon Your heart, of how You desire to move. help us to hear Your voice, that we may better love You and love those around us. thank You for Your voice, which gives us discernment, and demonstrates supernatural power, wisdom, and knowledge beyond our own human ability. oh, that Your people would become Your mouthpiece of truth. oh, that we would be a people to declare your Truth, your joy, freedom, and life into this broken world. oh that Your people would rise up and speak words of healing, words of love and encouragement, that our words would build up and not tear down. oh God, may our words declare the goodness of Your son Jesus, that our very own words would usher in the kingdom of heaven into this earth. let it begin at UCSD. make it so, LORD.

in the name of Jesus amen.

today ask God to impart the spirit of prophecy on you and on those around you. the spirit of prophecy just means the ability to hear and declare the things upon God's heart. God's voice gives us direction and helps us to know what is on His heart. it enables us to speak life and truth into others in a supernatural way, things that we did not know on our own.
