HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY NEW SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 9:00 & 10:45A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 142-144; 2 Corinthians 8 Monday, September 3 Matt. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Dear Lord and Master: It often comes to pass, for Christs sake, that I endure suffering in some way for getting the gospel to others. Help me rejoice in that honor when it is conferred by your providence. I thank you for every time you count me worthy to suffer with my Lord, for this is the way of the Master. I also joy in this: my sufferings, my losses and crosses, my persecutions and afflictions, all make a platform from which I can more believably and with greater power witness for Jesus Christ. They are a divine set-up. Help me study carefully my great example, the Lord Jesus, and be filled with his Spirit this day. I need much teaching on this, Lord. I need much beholding of Jesus in his humility and suffering. I need much grace, more than I have previously sought your face for, to get the gospel to __________ and to __________. Lord, send your power on my pleas! Send your Spirit with my supplication. There is no power in prayer without your presence as I pray, because unless I am really and truly addressing you, who else will hear and who else can answer? Lord, can you teach me to intercede for souls? You Heb. 5:7-8 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; Dear God, make me a witness like Jesus was! Not the cheap kind, that passes out tracts but takes a pass on trials. If I would know the full measure of fruitfulness I must know the full measure of pruning. Give me such grace. Amen. A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING Chronological Bible Reading: Proverbs 1-3; 2 Corinthians 11 Thursday, September 6 1 Pet. 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS LIFE Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 145-147; 2 Corinthians 9 Tuesday, September 4 Matt. 26:52-53 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? O Holy God: There is no limit to the available resources of Christ. The band of belligerents every hater leads is an insignificant squad if only I summon my allies. If Christ was ableeven in his humiliationto fill the air with seventy thousand angels, how much more can he do it now that he is glorified. For now, Matt. 28:18 All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Jesus, even in your humiliation you were Lord of all (especially of the unseen world and things outside my control). Make me see this even more clearly today as I seek to take the tale of the all-conquering love displayed on the cross to all those who are lost. Angels are also, according to some measure, at my beck and call. I have but to pray and ask you to intervene, because you are the one Heb. 1:7,14 Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? I do not think about this enough when I pray. Like Elijahs servant, if only my eyes were opened I would see the heights filled with horses, and chariots of fire surrounding me as I serve you. Help me remember today to count on invisible forces. Let me not lean to trust on that which is seen by the eye, but let me have respect to spiritual agencies known to faith. Let your angels play-out your providence in my life. You can give me friends on earth, but even if you do not, you can raise up friends in heavenly places. Do it today so I will have power in my testimony for you. In Jesus name I ask for this. Amen. FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY Chronological Bible Reading: Proverbs 4-6; 2 Corinthians 12 Friday, September 7 Psa. 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Dear Lord, we lift up our souls to you: Now as we pray, let not any room within us be closed-off to keep you out. Let there be no secret purpose of evil formed in our minds that awaits an opportunity to be fulfilled. But instead, Eph. 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Give us grace to follow after what is good, and bless all our undertakings for you (especially the upcoming Neighborhood Festival). Give us all strength in the inner man, but also give us boldness outwardly for your cause and for Christ. 2 Cor. 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; NOW, AS WE PRAY THIS PRAYER, let us not say to ourselves secretly, You can get involved someday, but not yet, or, Get involved a little, but not too much. Lord, give us zeal for your mission, our ministry NOW, AS WE PRAY THIS PRAYER, let us not harbor in our hearts any wrong feelings of jealousy, bitterness, anger or revenge. Lord, bless our enemies and those who have despitefully used us NOW, AS WE PRAY THIS PRAYER, let us not still be intending to use the best hours and years of our lives for ourselves. Lord, save us from being a slave to lesser purposes than your own! Holy Spirit of God, as we rise from this act of devotion, let us not return to wicked thoughts and worldly ways, but lead me in the way everlasting. This is what we have to ask you for. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Do it for Jesus sake as we ask it in Jesus name. Amen. WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 148-150; 2 Corinthians 10 Wednesday, September 5 Ezek. 18:27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Almighty and Merciful God: The Bible tells me to confess afresh my many sins and wickedness, and that I should not evade or cloak them when I appear before your face. Today Lord I confess them with a humble, lowly, penitent and obedient heart. I thank you I receive forgiveness through your infinite mercy by the merit of Christ. I have erred and strayed from your ways like a lost lamb. I have followed the desires and devices of my own heart too often. I have offended against your holy law. I have left undone those things that ought to have been done, and done those things I ought not to have done. There is no soundness in me! But you, O Lord, have all the soundness I need, and display mercy to miserable offenders like myself. You spare those who confess their faults before you. You restore those who repent, and you do so according to the promises declared by Jesus Christ and recorded in your word. Grant Lord, for Jesus sake, that I might live today a godly, righteous, and sober life in light of the lateness of this hour. Bring us revival that we might live to the glory of your holy name! Deliver me from the bonds of those sins that take advantage of my human faults and frailty. Lead me not into temptation, because you know how I find that pathway too easily on my own. Grant this for Christ Jesus sake because of what he accomplished on the cross. And then, Psa. 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. Deny me not this plea, because by this your name will be glorified. All these things I ask and expect for revival, and for Jesus Christs sake who died to make us all of us whole. Amen. SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS Chronological Bible Reading: Proverbs 7-9; 2 Corinthians 13 Saturday, September 8 Psa. 119:38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. Dear Master: I lay my life entirely open before you; please work a complete transformation in it as you work in our church. Renew my mind; conform my will. I yield my actions and my heart to your loving control. Focus my eyes and give me a word of reassurance from your love. I HAVE A CRAVING TO BE SATISFIED: stablish thy word. Dont just found it (establish), but confirm it (stablish) and make it firm. I need the constant affirmation of my bridegroom, Jesus. I know about your love because you have told me, but I need those precious tokens of your love throughout my life in the midst of my crisis. Fulfill your word in the reality of my ministry for you. I HAVE A COMMITMENT TO BE MADE: I am devoted. It is not, Can I trust God but, can you trust me? It is only as I am more devoted to you that you can confirm your truth to my experience. Please, Sir, by your Holy Spirit, place the application of your word within my reach at all times. I HAVE A CONCEPT TO BE APPLIED: I am devoted to thy fear. I have the somber realization of who you are as my Master. Your holiness is so much more than I can ever imagine. And fear of you is the starting point for both understanding (Prov. 1:7) and wisdom (Prov. 9:10). Make me fear who you are so I can obey what you have said. Psa. 119:39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. I HAVE A CRAVING TO BE SATISFIED: protect my reputation. Reproach and shame is something I rightly fear. I HAVE A COMMITMENT TO BE MADE: you are fair in all you do. I HAVE A CONCEPT TO BE APPLIED: help me fear a bad conscience, and not just a bad consequence. For Jesus sake do it. Amen.

MARY dont weep, dear mother why moan?

You say that Im too late, and I say youre wrong Just show me where he lies and Hell rise from the tomb And when he cracks the sky we all will rise too So tell all my people, these are the last days This heaven and earth shall soon pass away So those who are chosen must work while its day The HARVEST is plenty so please dont delay See theres wall of Jasper, and the streets paved with gold A mansion for all where well never ever grow old Its a land of milk and honey with white pearly gates Hey well live there forever, and theres not long to wait Cause Hes coming soon, Hes coming soon Just working and waiting, O come theres still room No man knows the hour, when well see the groom Soon coming for his bride, Hes coming soon Bebe & Cece Winans

PRAYER DIARY

INTERCEDE WITH GOD INSTRUCT SAINTS PROMPT PETITIONS KICKSTART DEVOTION

GIVE GOD THE FIRST PART OF EVERY DAY. The first commitment is to a daily quiet time with God. Our weekly Prayer Diary provides a template for daily devotions. 2) TITHEWORK 1 Cor 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. GIVE GOD THE FIRST DIME OF EVERY DOLLARno questions asked. Ten percent is a miniscule amount in our affluent society, but it must come off the top in order to show that God is our priority. We want the blessing of the firstfruits (first devotion, first dime and first day) to flow out to the rest of our resources. 3) TEAMWORD Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. GIVE GOD THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK. You should fellowship with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Baptists tend to ridicule liturgical churches that use "prepared prayers" because they lack spontaneity. But for many Baptists, their prayers are so predictable they are no more spontaneous than written-out prayers. The result is we end up praying the same things over and over. This daily Prayer Diary will prompt you on a wide range of prayer requests you might not normally think of, while forcing you to articulate a deeper devotion to God. We have included a daily Bible reading schedule. This plan will take you through the Bible chronologically in a year. Do not read ahead and do not try to catch up. Use each day as it comes. Then you can know that on any given day, dozens of other people are lifting their hearts in the same mind to God. Pray what is written, but use what is prayed as a springboard for your own relationship with God. You learn to pray by praying. Alan

Secret prayer is the secret of prayer, the soul of prayer, the seal of prayer, the strength of prayer. If you do not pray alone you do not pray at all. Our Lord Jesus Christ would go nowhere till He had prayed. He would attempt nothing till He had prayed. Oh, says one, I live in the spirit of prayer, and therefore I do not need times and seasons for prayer. And do you think that Christ did not live in the spirit of prayer? Yet He had to have his special time and place to pray. Do not fall under the injurious notion that because your spirit cries to God in prayer all day long, therefore there must not be some season for more immediately coming into Gods presence. If you imagine this, I am afraid that it will prove a snare to your feet. The Lord Jesus Christ, who knew better than you do that the main thing is the spirit of prayer rather than the act of prayer, yet Himself retired into desert places to maintain the act and exercise of prayer. Be spiritual. Be baptized into the spirit of prayer. But do not be deceived by the enemy, who can steal a spirit away while we dream that we only spiritualize it. We had better preserve the very bones of prayerthe posture, the time, placerather than let it all ooze away into an impalpable mental condition. God keep us prayerful. He will do so if He makes us like His dear Son. Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-92

QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS

Keeping Christ at the center (your core relationship of worship to God) Keeping the body of Christ a priority (your congregational relationship of walking Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in the
