God of Revival,
Thank you for your faithfulness, your ever-present help in time of trouble, and the reality that you never grow weary. God, many of us are weary of the battles we’ve faced in the last year. Even if the world wasn’t battling politically, culturally, or medically, many of us have faced battles in our own families, relationships, health, employment, etc. We warriors are weary. But you are the one who renews our strength so we can walk, run, and even soar on the power of Holy Spirit. So, renew us in this day and move us into the places you need us to work. Just as the people in Nehemiah’s time guarded their walls while they worked on them, help us to be daily renewed and rebuilt in your Presence so we can guard our spiritual walls and do the work you need us to do for such a time as this. You told us that when we are honest with a little, you will entrust us with much. Help us to be good stewards of the time, resources, talents, abilities, strength, and Spirit you have given to us. But give us courage to fight for righteousness in this nation and Awakening in her people. Give us holy boldness and fire to pray for revival in your Church and renewal in her people. There’s no prison wall you can’t break through; no mountain you can’t move. We pray you would bring to light what is hidden in darkness and expose the motives of the heart in all areas of society. You said that those who are dishonest with little will be dishonest with much and we see that dishonesty, corruption, lies, wickedness, and outright evil in so many aspects of our society. Those cups of iniquity must be now have been filled; God, pour out your justice on the evils in society. You said that the power of the wicked will be broken, so we command that the strength, power, and tenacity of wickedness would be completely broken off the people of this nation in the name of Jesus. We believers may feel that we are against a Red Sea – trapped between an army that wants to kill us and a sea that wants to drown us. But God! Stretch out your hand to split the sea – do a miracle in our time – and then destroy the power of the enemy that attacks us. Keep us from fretting about the power of the enemy by focusing the eyes of our hearts only on you and your power and deliverance. We believe that you laugh at the wicked and you uphold the righteous, so we pray for your protection over the righteous. We pray that you would stir up a hunger for righteousness in the nation’s entire population. Come awaken this township, this city, this county, this state, this nation! May there be so many that come to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ – may your Spirit draw all men and women unto you – that we see mass conversions and revivals. Fill your Spirit-led churches with believers of all origins, men and women who know they are radically saved by the covenant blood of Christ and radically empowered by Holy Spirit to boldly go forward in the work you have us do to redeem the world. Destroy those who hope in evil, and cause those who hope in you to inherit this land. And give us peace that guards our hearts and minds as we wait for you to act. We pray all this in the powerful, mighty, and victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV)
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” (Luke 16:10 NIV)
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 4:7 NIV)
Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3
Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9
For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10
A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11
But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12
The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13
but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14
The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15
But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16
Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17
for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18
The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
19
In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20
But the wicked will perish:
Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
21
The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;
22
those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be destroyed.
23
The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24
though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
25
I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26
They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be a blessing.[b]
27
Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
28
For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];
the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29
The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.
30
The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
and their tongues speak what is just.
31
The law of their God is in their hearts;
their feet do not slip.
32
The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
intent on putting them to death;
33
but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34
Hope in the Lord
and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
35
I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36
but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37
Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
a future awaits those who seek peace.[d]
38
But all sinners will be destroyed;
there will be no future[e] for the wicked.
39
The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40
The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him. (Psalm 37 NIV)
“God of Revival” – Bethel Music
We’ve seen what You can do, oh God of wonders
Your power has no end
The things You’ve done before in greater measure
You will do again
There’s no prison wall You can’t break through
No mountain You can’t move
All things are possible
There’s no broken body You can’t raise
No soul that You can’t save
All things are possible
The darkest night
You can light it up
You can light it up
Oh God of revival
Let hope arise
Death is overcome
You’ve already won
Oh God of revival
You rose in victory and now You’re seated
Forever on the throne
So why should my heart fear what You defeated
I will trust in You alone
Come awaken Your people, come awaken this city
Oh God of revival pour it out, pour it out
Every stronghold will crumble, I hear the chains hit the ground
Oh God of revival pour it out, pour it out
Oo – oh oo – oh, God of revival
