Spiritual renewal is the church waking up to the presence of Christ in her midst. Spiritual renewal takes hold when we focus our prayers on the issues closest to God’s heart, asking especially that His people, His church, would wake up, discover, and experience the presence of Jesus in their midst.

 

One of the greatest indications that spiritual renewal is taking place in God’s church is a renewed focus on prayer, especially prayers for the lost and unsaved.

 

This week mediate and pray over the following verses. Pray specifically that God would show you those in your life to pray for in regard to salvation.

 

“For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.” (Luke 19:10)

 

“I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified in me (Christ).”

(Acts 26:18)

 

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people---for kings and all

those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God

our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”  (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

 

“For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but

have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
