HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Judges 13-15; Luke 3:20-38
Monday, March 30
Esth. 10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among
the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and
speaking peace to all his seed
Father God:
Mordecai used his position to promote the prosperity of others. Lord
forbid I should use my position of ministry in this church to do less than that. As
a son to the Father, I pray you today to speak peace to the lost families and
people I know. Just like Jesus, who spent his power on other people, let them see
me being a servant to them.
Make me more of a Mordecai to this church, determined according to my
ability to further its fortune in your Eternal Purpose. When you give me positions
of affluence and influence, then let me honor you in the high places, and testify
to others the beautiful name of Jesus as Savior and Lord.
I have something far better that Mordecai did, because I have close
fellowship with you, the King of all kings. So I will be sure to plead daily for the
spiritually poorfor the doubting, the tempted and the comfortless. I intercede
today for __________ and __________, who are still in darkness. Help me
impart my wealth of spiritual learning to them by teaching them about the cross!
I can at least seek their welfare in prayer. If I have no other contact with
them than that, at least my desire is accepted of you. Help me, to the best of my
ability, to seek the wealth of my church in my neighborhood. Keep me from
weakening it by neglect. Prevent me from doing wrong by bitterness and gossip.
Lord I seek for your grace so everything I am involved in can be made
evangelistic! For so may the name of Jesus Christ be honored among us and in
the community, as it was in Mordecais time. Amen.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Ruth 1-2; Luke 5
Thursday, April 2
1 Cor. 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood
of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

THE blood that Jesus shed for me

Way back on Calvary
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose its power
Andrae Crouch, 1966

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS MIRACLES

Chronological Bible Reading: Judges 16-18; Luke 4:1-22
Tuesday, March 31
Matt. 9:30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See
that no man know it.
Glorious Christ:
When I consider the works of your life, what a feat! The most magnificent
things are done with no effort. There is no heavy breathing, as if gathering-up
your strength to perform. All goes easily in growth when God is with me.
What would I have done at the wedding feast? I would have called
everybody together, so they knew the wine was gone before I created a new
supply. See this huge waterpot? Look how Ive filled it with water. Now watch
while I work my mojo! Then I would have mumbled something mysterious, or
gone through some performance.
You did nothing of the kind. All your miracles are as if you hate the display.
You act like God, whose wonders in my life are almost too many to be taken
note of by yourself. It was so Godlike of you to do such great works without
looking like you were doing anything at all out of the ordinary.
Many times you cut your disciples out of the loop! That way there was no
impression of collusion between a magician and his apprentices. In the case of
the water turned to wine, the less spiritual man (the master of ceremonies) was a
better witness to the quality and reality of the miracle than they could have been.
So it is in my life. Many times Ive felt out of the loop of what you did in
our church. But when it is all finished, the lost who look over my shoulder are the
best judges of what you have accomplished. The way you do your miracles in my
life is an appeal to their curiosity, and so starts to arouse their faith.
So do it, Lord! Do anything you want with me, only let there be a witness to
see it and be affected by it. So I ask to Jesus glory by his grace. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: Ruth 3-4; Luke 6:1-25
Friday, April 3

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Judges 19-21; Luke 4:23-44
Wednesday, April 1
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the
LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the
LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Everlasting and Living Lord:
Why do I not call on your name more? Before I get out of bed I should call
on your name. Prayer should be the key that opens my day and the lock that
shuts it at night. The first thing I need is to pray. I dont need to run to this best
friend or that wise person. You are so much nearer to me than them all.
I dont need to sit and scheme, or make new plans. Help me concentrate
today on immediately rolling every burden your way as soon as it comes. I need
to cry out to you! Jesus was filled with the Spirit but he still had to pray. Help me
start praying before I ever bend a knee, and keep praying after I get up. In
vain will I look for deliverance anywhere else, but with God It shall come to pass.
It comes to pass for whosoever calls. That means me as well as everybody
else in our church. Help me follow the leading of this verse today. I call upon you
as my LORDthe one who controls and is in control.
My case is urgent. In some things, I do not see how I can be delivered this
week. But thats not my business, though. My business is to call; your business is
to control. If you make a promise, then it is your will to find a way to keep it. It
is my obligation to operate in faith, righteousness and obedience. If I keep your
commands then you keep your counsels. My obedience brings revival.
I am your servant Lord, not your salesman. I call on you; I do not
manipulate you. Revival is a sovereign work of your will. You respond today
because you love me and I thank you for that. Now glorify your Son in my life,
for I ask it in Jesus precious name. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 1-3; Luke 6:26-49
Saturday, April 4

1 Thess. 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.

Psa. 146:7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the
hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

Precious Lord:
While we offer our prayers, we praise you with deep gratitude for all your
past mercies. Make them possess our hearts now so that when we assemble
together on Sunday, like when David sat in his house of cedar, we say,
Psa. 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea,
let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of
his servant.
Make the gratitude we feel prompt us to pray, and ask again,
Psa. 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Let us serve you, and serve you so completely your kingdoms work begins
right here in our own community, and something of kingdom blessings can be
enjoyed even now. This is participating in your Eternal Purpose.
While we work for you Lord, keep us always sitting at the feet of Jesus.
Help our faith never wander away from the simplicity of confidence in him alone.
Let our motive never be anything but your glory. May our heart be swept off its
feet with your love, and our thoughts always meditating on your person. We
choose the good part that cannot be taken away, so that as we serve with Martha
we can also sit with Mary.
Let our church and our pastors receive a fresh anointing of the Holy Ghost,
so that every member of our body can be serving for the Master. Enliven every
ministry. Let nothing slump to which we have set our hands. Prosper us
especially this Easter Sunday, and especially in evangelism. Make us great
soulwinners so the name of Jesus may be magnified! Amen.

God and Father of Endless Ages:

I remember: Joseph, Israel in Egypt, Jeremiah, Peter, Paul and Silas, and
many others. You have loosed many multitudes and you can free me today. You
can break the bars of brass with a word. You can snap my shackles of iron with a
look. In a thousand points of a thousand places at once, those who have been
trapped are walking out into light and enlargement, and new opportunity. Jesus
still proclaims the opening of the prison to the bound! Even at this moment
doors are opening and handcuffs are dropping to the ground.
Make it so for those I can reach. I rejoice to set people free in Jesus Christ!
Freed from sorrow, doubt and fear. I know it is as great a pleasure to Jesus to use
me as it is for him to loose me, and as it is for me to be free from that which
bound me for so long a time.
Thank you Lord, I do not have to snap the iron bands myself. I trust you to
be the Emancipator for me, and through me by grace. I believe you in spite of
the stone walls surrounding me and so many lives. I believe you in spite of the
manacles. Satan cannot hold us; sin cannot chain us; even despair cannot bind us
if I believe in the Lord, in the freeness of his grace, in the fullness of his power.
Psa. 107:14-16 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and
brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for
his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the
bars of iron in sunder.
I can defy the enemy with the verses above. That is my song of deliverance.
Use me in the name of the Lord Jesus today. Amen.

INTERCEDE WITH GOD INSTRUCT SAINTS

PROMPT PETITIONS KICKSTART DEVOTION

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
