Preparing the Heart for God’s Work and Yielding Fully to His Ways | Open Book | Dec 9, 2025 | CR

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Dec 9, 2025
Settle your heart before God and recognize the privilege of being invited into His presence. Still yourself, pour out your day before Him, and allow His peace to quiet every distraction. Keep your heart tender, yielded, and moldable—like clay in the hands of a potter—willing for Him to add, remove, break, or rebuild whatever He desires so that you may be aligned to His will. Ask for a unified heart, a heart that fears God, a heart that remains planted, pliable, and responsive to His light. As you prepare for seasons of prayer, fasting, or spiritual assignments, do not stand in the way of God’s work in you; instead, welcome every stretching, remolding, and purifying He brings.

Pray for divine hunger—an unquenchable longing that draws you and others into deeper pursuit of God. Ask that God Himself plants holy questions, dissatisfaction with lesser things, and supernatural curiosity in those He is calling, so that nothing else can satisfy except His presence. Desire the kind of hunger that breaks through obstacles, persists past resistance, and leads straight to encounters with God. Believe that God can stir longing, guide footsteps, and orchestrate meetings, signs, and pointers that lead people into His purpose.

Call upon the Holy Spirit to brood over every environment, gathering, heart, and moment. Ask that every detail—words spoken, songs sung, lights flashing, equipment functioning—become instruments in God’s hands, carrying revelation, instruction, and transformation. Pray that God’s power overshadow everything as He did in biblical times, making it clear that what is happening is “of God and not of man.” Pray for revival, for generational rescue, for youths and children to be awakened, delivered, healed, and shaped into mighty instruments of righteousness.

Intercede for every person involved in teaching, leading, or serving, that they be full of the Spirit, full of wisdom, full of discernment, and able to speak exactly what God wants said—nothing less, nothing more, and always in the right measure for those listening. Pray that every message will carry life, revelation, and divine precision, and that every teacher will discern the spiritual maturity of their hearers so truth is delivered in its proper measure.

Recognize that you are called to walk in the resurrection life of Christ even now. Understand that death, sin, sickness, and bondage no longer have dominion over you. Affirm daily that you are dead to sin and alive to God. Present your body as an instrument of righteousness and refuse to share your temple with anything that belongs to darkness. Let the word of God become flesh in you—shaping your thoughts, habits, desires, and responses—until your life testifies of the power of the age to come.

Pray that the blood of Jesus covers every space, every arrangement, every person, and every circumstance connected to God’s purpose. Send the blood ahead to cleanse, protect, disarm darkness, and secure divine order. Believe that angelic activity increases in places where God intends to move, and that His presence disrupts everything contrary to His will.

Declare that oppressed people will not return the same way they came. Speak freedom, healing, restoration, clarity, and destiny alignment over all who encounter God in these moments. Proclaim that hearts will be mended, bodies healed, covenants with darkness broken, addictions destroyed, and lives redirected toward God.

Finally, commit to being built up yourself. Do not limit your spiritual growth or accept stagnation. Lay hold of every truth available to you, train yourself in the word, and labor in faith toward every divine promise. Affirm boldly that you are the dwelling place of God, covered by the blood, filled with His Spirit, and unavailable to darkness in any form.
