RECOVERY REVIVAL
What if there was a place... or a city... or a church... or even a cross within a church... that was so drenched in the presence and power of God that people would come just to experience their chains being broken, bodies being cleansed, and lives being set free?
You are hereby invited to participate with The Sanctuary Church in seeking God for more. More of what we are already experiencing in our midst. The Celtic people called it a “thin space” between heaven and earth. Others call it a window from heaven being opened or a place where God’s Shekinah Glory settles. Whatever it is and however it is happening, the Cross in our sanctuary seems to be a place where those embers are turning into a fire. Freedom is calling and we are answering, “Here we are Lord, use us.”
Week one
Our Personal Need For Revival
Morning Prayer
James 4:8
Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
Lord, we recognize that all revival in our community must start with ourselves. Wherever we are in bondage, set us free in the name of Jesus. Purify our hearts and attune our entire being to you. Today would you constantly remind us of the cross as a gateway to freedom, especially from addiction. Let revival spill out from our lives to the community in the name of Jesus.
Now, in your own words ask God to start a revival in you and that it would overflow into the world around you.
Noon Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer - For Recovery and Revival
​
Abba Father,
Your sons and daughters...our brothers and sisters...are addicted
It feels hopeless at times
But we know you are above any obstacle because your name is hallowed and above every other name
This brings us hope
May your Kingdom of freedom come to those who have come to the
end of their rope
May your will be done for those who feel undone
For those who feel as though heaven is fleeting and far away
May it be as near as the soil is to the soul of their feet
Give us what we need to help our brothers and sisters on their journey
Give them what they need to take the next right step
As we all walk together...let forgiveness lead the way
Deliver us all from darkness
Drive us all towards the light
This is your story
Only your power can do this
You deserve the glory
Amen
Evening Prayer
God our Father,
We submit to you that there is only so much we can do in our humanity
And in our humanity, tonight we must rest
As our bodies, minds, and spirits become silent in the night
May the volume of your voice and the anointing of your spirit increase
Let our bodies heal, our minds become clear, and our spirits aflame in you
Lead our bodies, minds, and spirits to the Cross of Christ, the foundation of
salvation, recovery, and revival
Amen
Thank you for partnering with us in prayer as we contend for what God has called us to. We know that we cannot do this on our own, and your heart and investment are invaluable to us. We're excited to see lives transformed and a city set free as we learn to come alongside the heart and mission of The Father!
