PRAYER AND FASTING GUIDE

23rd August	·         Ask God to open their spiritual eyes (2 Cor. 4:4).

Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' ·         Ask God to give them faith to believe (Acts 20:21 have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

I ·         Pray for a witness of love to be among the brethren and for the lost John 5:13-15 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. ·         Be merciful to those who doubt; Jude 1:22
26th August 2016	·         Pray for God to use us in the harvest (Isaiah 6:8 Mathew 22:9; Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.

28th August 2016	·         Pray for the door to be opened for the preaching of the gospel (I Corinthians 16:9; because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me. ·         II Corinthians 2:12 12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, ·         Pray for there to be power for witnessing (Acts 1:8; But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” ·         I Corinthians 2:4). My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, ·         Pray for boldness to share the gospel (Acts 4:29-31; Ephesians 6:19). Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel ·         Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. ·         Pray for unity among believers (Psalm 133:1-3 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.  It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them Matthew 18:20).

SundayPost~Stay Focused

Stay focused, don't take short cuts, otherwise what you loose might be more that you can take.

Genesis 16

Sometimes out hearts convince us that what we are doing is innocent, but the message you are selling out does not indicate that you are innocent.

As God saved us, there are things He expects from us, He expects us to keep in the right walk of life.

When did you encroach on parameters not designed for you?
Genesis 16:3, Hagar was not supposed to go in with Abraham, even though she was given to Abraham.
Hagar was available, vulnerable, easy to access. Be aware of vulnerable looking women.

Genesis 3, When Eve saw the fruit, she saw it was;

1. Beautiful
2. The fruit looked good to eat

Beware of looks, not everything that looks good to eat is sweet. 

Make a decision

You are not exempt from attack, temptation, run for your life, don't stay there and negotiate. 

Things that are not you're are not yours, leave them alone. You don't know the consequences of getting off the direction of life the Lord has placed you on.

Be wise, anything that attracts you when the Lord compels you not to go, but you insist on going ahead, then He let's you go on your own.

Proverbs 7:10
Keep on the straight path of good conscience.

Before taking up an action, ask yourself what your motive is.

Jesus was tempted in all ways, but didn't fall short. 

Life and death is in the power if the tongue.
Counter temptation with the word of the Lord. Its you to pull out the sword of the spirit and fight for yourself.

Sunday Post~Cultivating God's presence through praise and worship

James 4:8

Come near to God and he will come near to you. In the old testament there are circumstances where God drew near to His people but also, on the contrary, instances are recorded where he withdrew from them, 1Sam.4:12 ff.

When the presence of God departed Israel, they were empty. no more protection, no more joy;
this can happen in the life of a christian, remember Samson, he became empty and an ordinary man.

The Laodicean Church Rev.3
This church was equally empty with Christ actually standing outside.http://biblehub.com/revelation/3-20.htm
It is possible to claim you're OK when you're not OK
It is possible to claim you have a reputation yet you actually have no presence.
What God is saying and how you feel are two different things.

Do you want to experience the presence of God; the springs of living waters? http://biblehub.com/john/7-38.htm; Do you want to feel the joy in the Spirit; do you want to have a sense of fear of God? This is possible.

Many times it is possible to loose the fear of God and still perform miracles. God can still use you to bless people but He will hold you accountable for whatever you do.Talent can promote you without presence. We need presence to take precedent.

The presence of God is everywhere; Ps.139, but this presence we need is the #manifest presence of God in our lives.

Don't come to Church expecting to receive this presence, you wont tap it from the worship team, no sermon will make you be filled with this presence, you can only draw it from God-Personally by pressing on in seeking the Lord. And you don't even have to tell anyone that you are seeking this presence.

There is a way i will behave in the presence of the President, how about God Almighty?
