Scriptures: Luke 2:32; John 16:8

Luke 2:32

New King James Version

³² A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”

John 16:8

New King James Version

⁸ And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Luke 2:32

The Message

^25-32 In Jerusalem at the time, there was a man, Simeon by name, a good man, a man who lived in the prayerful expectancy of help for Israel. And the Holy Spirit was on him. The Holy Spirit had shown him that he would see the Messiah of God before he died. Led by the Spirit, he entered the Temple. As the parents of the child Jesus brought him in to carry out the rituals of the Law, Simeon took him into his arms and blessed God:

God, you can now release your servant;
    release me in peace as you promised.
With my own eyes I’ve seen your salvation;
    it’s now out in the open for everyone to see:
A God-revealing light to the non-Jewish nations,
    and of glory for your people Israel.

John 16:8-11

The Message

^8-11 “When he comes, he’ll expose the error of the godless world’s view of sin, righteousness, and judgment: He’ll show them that their refusal to believe in me is their basic sin; that righteousness comes from above, where I am with the Father, out of their sight and control; that judgment takes place as the ruler of this godless world is brought to trial and convicted.

6am Father, let the light of Christ break into the darkness of unbelief, indifference, and hardened resistance.

9am Convict hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and remove scales from blinded minds.

12pm I pray for divine encounters, dreams, visitations, and undeniable revelations of Jesus Christ.

3pm Every veil over families, communities, and peoples who do not yet believe, be torn by the mercy of God.

6pm Lord, interrupt false peace and comfortable rebellion with holy conviction that leads to salvation.

9pm Let seekers find You, scoffers be arrested by truth, and prodigals be drawn home.

12am Raise witnesses filled with compassion, clarity, and power to preach Christ effectively.

3am O God, grant encounters that transform enemies into ambassadors and skeptics into worshippers.
