Prayer for National Revival

Day 20 (October 13, 2008)

Saved to be Spirit-filled

The nation is in desperate need of Christians empowered by God’s Spirit.

Scripture for Reflection and Preparation (HCSB)

Ephesians 4:18-21

“18  They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.  19 They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.    20 But that is not how you learned about the Messiah, 21 assuming you heard Him and were taught by Him, because the truth is in Jesus.”

Romans 8:13-17

“13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die.  But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.  14 All those led by God's Spirit are God's sons.  15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, ‘Abba , Father!’  16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God's children, 17 and if children, also heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ--seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”

Galatians 5:24-25

“24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  25 If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.”
