Collegiate Day of Prayer: 40-Day Campus Prayer GuideSample
DAY 6: Waiting In One Accord For The Spirit
By Peter Kim (JHOP Boston)
“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”
— Luke 24:49 (KJV)
On the eve of our Lord’s ascension and the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Jesus commands His disciples to do one thing: wait for power to come from on high to be witnesses of Him in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:4,8).
Before Pentecost and three thousand souls being saved in a single day, Scripture tells us that the believers were of “one accord in prayer and supplication” while tarrying for ten days in the upper room (Acts 1:14). By devoting themselves to prayer in humility before the Lord, they received the promise of the Father for power to be witnesses.
God sets His church on fire to set the world on fire. If we are to see revival in our generation, we, too, must come together, realize our great need for God, and cry out to Him for the power of His Spirit. Paul Washer wisely preached, “Men and women who are used of God, if I had only a few words to describe them: they are the passionately weak and the violently desperate.”
PRAYER POINTS:
- Pray for believers on campus to realize their absolute dependence on Him.
- Pray for believers to pray for another Pentecost on their campus.

About this Plan
200 years ago in 1823, nearly every major denomination and university across America united in prayer for our nation’s college students. Campuses were being radically transformed by powerful seasons of spiritual awakening. Today, churches and campuses across America are once again uniting in prayer for the next generation on college campuses. Will you join us for 40 days of prayer for revival and spiritual awakening?
