Prayer Pattern For Revival The Word of God part 8 of 8
Loving Heavenly Father, I come to worship You in the wonder of what You have chosen to reveal in Your Word about Yourself. The majesty of Your creation displays Your awesome greatness. I see Your omnipotence when I look upon the vastness of the universe. I praise You that You are everywhere present in the extremities of the universe and that You are greater than Your creation.
I look upon the immensity of man's accumulated knowledge and remember Your omniscient possession of all knowledge. The steady march of time causes me to reflect upon the fact that You are eternal, without beginning or end. The lying, sinful ways of humanity evident everywhere cause me to long for the one who is Truth and who reigns in absolute justice.
I praise You, loving God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for what You have reveled about Yourself in the written Word of God. I affirm that Your Holy Word is an inerrant revelation of Your holy Truth. I ask forgiveness for my neglect in reading, memorizing and meditating upon Your Word. What an ugly, sinful wrong it is for me, my family and my fellow believers to treat Your holy Word so lightly when it has been made so available to us. Wash away our guilt, and create within believers' hearts a longing to know and read Your Word.
Through Your Word, Heavenly Father, I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior from sin. In Your Word He is revealed as the one who became God in human flesh and was victorious in Himself over the world, the flesh and the devil. In Your Word I learn that, though He was tempted in every way I am tempted, He never sinned. Your Word declares that, as one of us, He fulfilled all righteousness. Your Word declares that He was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities. It declares that He became sin for me and that my sins and offenses against You were laid upon Him when He died in my place upon the cross.
It is in Your Word that the mighty truth of His triumph over death and the grave in resurrection power is established. Your Word declares with assuring detail the Lord Jesus Christ's ascension into heaven and His present glorified overseeing of His church. Because of the declarations of Your Word, I look for my Savior to come again with power and great glory. I love You, Heavenly Father, for having given me Your Word.
I praise You, loving God, that You have graced us with the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Thank You for revealing Your Word to me in the wonder of His mighty work in this world and in believers. Thank You for declaring in Your Word that the Holy Spirit came to convict the world of its sinful guilt. I ask for the Holy Spirit to greatly intensify His work of convincing people of their sin against a holy God. May the Holy Spirit so open people to the spiritual seeing and hearing of Your Word that they again will cry out in repentance. Thank You, also, that the Holy Spirit exalts righteousness by revealing the righteous things of Your Word. I ask Him to do that with powerful persuasion.
I pray that the Holy Spirit will, by Your Word, reveal to human hearts the certainty of an approaching accountability to God. May that sobering fact settle upon people until they can find no rest apart from coming to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed Holy Spirit, You are the one who breathed out God's Word in divine revelation through human instruments. I ask You now to use that Word to speak personally to believers. Grant new insights to God's appointed leaders to promote interest, reading, memorization and meditation upon God's Word among God's people. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to raise up anointed revivalist, evangelists and preachers who will be able to make the Bible known with compelling power to a lost world.
I pray the mighty power of God's holy Word against Satan and his kingdom. Confront and defeat Satan's lies with the truth of Your Word. May the comfort of Your Word relieve people from Satan's accusations, torments, and terror. I ask that the warnings of Your Word will alert people to Satan's tactics to bring them into bondage. Invade Satan's kingdom with salvation's message in Your Word and bring multitudes from the darkness of hell into the kingdom of light and eternal life.
I recognize, Heavenly Father, that revival will never come unless a deep, personalized hearing of God's Word comes to human hearts. In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of His blood, I pull down Satan's power to dishonor and discredit God's holy Word. I bring in prayer the power of the Holy Spirit against all satanic strongholds assigned to hinder the Word of God from being heard and understood by the hearts of people. I invite the blessed Holy Spirit to exalt the Word of God and to reveal its mighty power in ways that will confound the enemies of truth. Cause people to hear Your Word with a new profound depth, and move pastors and churches to proclaim and teach Your Word with a contagious freshness.
I affirm, Heavenly Father, that Your Word is alive and powerful. I rejoice that though heaven and earth will pass away, not one tiny word of your holy truth will ever fail. Grant to Your Word great success in our day. Use Your holy Word to move our nation to revolutionary revival. I do love Your Word, O Lord, and I give myself to know it better and to live it more. I offer this prayer in the name of Him who is the Living Word, my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer Pattern For Revival Unity In the Body part 7 of 8
Dear God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, I worship You in the wonder of Your triune oneness. I grope to understand the mystery of how three unique persons remain one God. I praise You for its truth and I bow before You in the wonder of such revelation of Yourself. By faith, I ask You to increase my capacity to appreciate and understand Your triune oneness that I might share new insights with others.
I also praise and worship You, Lord Jesus Christ, for the scope of Your finished work that unites me with You. I hold Your powerful name, Lord Jesus Christ, over my personal life, my family, my work and the whole body of Christ for benefit, protection and all that You have for us.
I rejoice that Your salvation has united me inseparably not only with Yourself but also with every other believer. Thank You, blessed Holy Spirit, for Your great work of baptizing me into this body of Christ. I rejoice to be a part of such perfect fellowship. thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for continuing Your mighty work of readying Your body to present her to Yourself as a radiant church, without stain, wrinkle or blemish of any kind. Thank You that this body will be holy and blameless in the mystery of Your finished work. I glory in the wonder of such truth.
I enter into repentance and confession before You to acknowledge how often I personally have violated the essential oneness of the body. Cleanse me of my wickedness of not honoring each part of the body as You do. I also confess the sins of my family and fellow church members in not living out the unity of the body which You have created. I confess the divisiveness existing in Your visible church as a violation of Your holy plan. I worship and praise You, dear Heavenly Father, for Your sovereign ability to use even our divisiveness to glorify Your name and finish Your work.
Yet I long and pray for the bringing together of Your born-again ones in a united movement for revival awakening. We have been so terribly wounded by those things that have divided us. Our capacity to bring about change in our world has been reduced to a feeble squeak. In humble embarrassment I repent over this fact, and ask Your Holy Spirit to move over Your body to cause change. Help us to come together under the oneness of the Holy Spirit's control. May His oneness of intercession wait before heaven's throne of grace in the hearts of millions of believers who ask God for revolutionary revival.
Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for planning for unity rather than uniformity. The diversity of Your body is part of its beauty and functional appeal to the lost. It adds to Your glory. Bless Your church in its wide diversity of expression in patterns of worship and songs of praise. Help us to love one another in our diversity.
Help me not to condemn my fellow member for what he is not. Grant me the wisdom to understand and the capacity to appreciate him for what he is. Above all, help me to love each part of the body. May that love express itself in patience and the capacity to hold my thoughts in check when I see the failures of another member of Your body. Forgive me for my quick practice to take comfort about my own failures when I see the sins of others.
Blessed Heavenly Father, I recognize that Satan and his kingdom are relentless in their efforts keep believers divisive toward one another. As the accuser of the believers, he continually plants suspicions in believers' hearts. In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I pull down that work of darkness and bind our enemy that he might not succeed. I ask the Holy Spirit to supplant all divisive works with the unity of the Spirit actively working in believers.
Oh, Holy God, only Your sovereignty can move Your body into united action. May Your Holy Spirit brood over Your church and cause it to breathe out a united cry for revival awakening. I wait before You for this. Only You can work it out in a way that will startle the word and glorify Your name. Raise up the human leaders You can trust to touch not the glory that belongs only to You. I affirm again that what You have accomplished through the finished work of my Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient to do more than I ask. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
