We lift up Southeast Oklahoma before the throne of grace, crying out for a mighty move of God’s Spirit to sweep through the land. Father, we confess that true revival begins with repentance—turning away from sin and turning back to You with whole hearts. The Scriptures declare, *"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land"* (2 Chronicles 7:14 WEB). Lord, we humble ourselves before You now, acknowledging that we have strayed, that compromise has crept into the church, and that Your name has been dishonored by our silence and complacency.
We pray for the spiritual leaders in this region—pastors, elders, teachers, and all who carry the weight of shepherding Your flock. Strengthen them, Holy Spirit, with boldness and wisdom to speak the truth in love, even when it is unpopular. Guard their hearts from fear of man, for *"the fear of man lays a snare, but whoever puts his trust in the Lord is kept safe"* (Proverbs 29:25 WEB). May they preach the full counsel of Your Word without dilution, calling sin what it is and pointing the lost to the cross. We rebuke the spirit of timidity and deception that seeks to silence the Gospel, and we declare that Your church will not be ashamed of the hope we have in Christ.
Father, we plead for souls to be saved—may the lost encounter the life-changing power of Jesus. Open blind eyes, soften hardened hearts, and let the light of the Gospel pierce the darkness. We pray for hope to be restored in communities where despair has taken root. Let Your people rise up as beacons of truth and grace, demonstrating the love of Christ through both word and deed. May Southeast Oklahoma become a testimony of Your faithfulness, where the prodigals return, the broken are healed, and the weary find rest in You.
We also lift up those who may be struggling in secret sin—those bound by addiction, immorality, or idolatry. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that whisper, *"You cannot change"* or *"God could never forgive you."* The blood of Jesus was shed for *all* sin, and *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9 WEB). There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus—only freedom, restoration, and new life.
Lord, we ask that You would raise up intercessors in this region, men and women who will stand in the gap and cry out for revival day and night. Let the fire of Your Spirit fall afresh, consuming apathy and igniting passion for Your kingdom. May Southeast Oklahoma be a place where Your name is exalted, Your Word is obeyed, and Your glory fills the land.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), we pray. Amen.
