PROPHETIC WEEKLY
_______________________________________________________________
DRAW ME DEEPER, LORD.
“Let me pull you into the deeper place today. Let me bring you into the inner chamber of revelation. Launch out into that deep place and I will bring you into uncharted rooms in the dwelling of My Holy Spirit!”
Prophetic Scripture:
…Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught (Luke 5:4).
Growing in the Lord means you are willing to allow God to take you into unfamiliar spiritual places. They are not new to God, but they are new to us. God wants us to experience the depths of His heart, His thoughts, and His plans, but it takes faith and commitment to go into unfamiliar territory in knowing the Lord.
When Jesus told His disciples to launch out into the deep, most of our normal responses to that request would be much like theirs. “But Lord, we tried that and it got us nowhere, and besides now we are tired of trying.” That is a rough paraphrase, but Jesus was beckoning them back into the deep waters. Instead of responding as if it is just “over your head” or too deep for you, respond with a willing “Yes, Lord, draw me into the deep place.” Sure, the deep places in the Holy Spirit require adjusting our schedule and being willing to stretch our level of spiritual understanding, but it’s worth it! Go ahead, ask the Lord to draw you into the deeper places of knowing Him this week!
Prayer:
Lord, I come to You with a willingness to enter the deeper places of the Spirit. Draw me, Lord, where I might experience all that is on Your heart. I want to know You in a new and a fresh way, and I lay down my own time and agenda this day that I may go deeper in You! In Jesus’ Name, amen!
- Pray for the youths in the Body of Christ; that the Lord will touch their minds and break everything that is holding them from realizing that they can be founders of great movements.
- Pray that this spirit of innovation, and founding of transformational movements and organizations will be manifest in every gate of society from the family to the areas of arts sports and culture.
- Pray for the Body of Christ to be in the forefront of encouraging as many people as possible to become employers rather than employees; to create jobs rather than seek for jobs especially in the continent of Africa where there is so much potential but a certain level of fear of stepping out to initiate business, or found organizations that will transform lives and communities.
- Pray for those who have stepped out as initiators that the Lord will give them boldness to stand and not be intimidated in the face of any challenges that may arise in the inception of their various endeavors.
