MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 25-27; 1 Peter 4
Monday, November 21

Psa. 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Dear Lord and Savior:
I have a burden for so many people. I am burdened for __________ and
__________ to get saved, and want to run out and talk to them right now! But
no lips can convey the love of Christ effectively until your Spirit speaks to their
heart on the inside. Lord, reveal yourself to them! Take away the blindness and
make their soul see you, high and lifted up on the cross for them.
Matt. 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Educational processes cannot reveal Christ.
So Holy Spirit, come with power! Overshadow __________ with your
wings. Lord Jesus, reveal yourself to __________ with the sight of faith. Do it
Sunday as the pastor preaches. Do it this week as I witness about my own
experience with you. When the world looks at you they see you only
Isa. 53:2-3 as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when
we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of
men; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Proud men and women have always rejected you. Only where your Spirit
touches their eyes with salve, resuscitates their heart with divine life, and gives
their soul a heavenly tasteonly there is your work on the cross understood.
1 Pet. 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious:
Oh Lord Jesus, make believers out of them! Become the Rock of their
salvation and not a stone of stumbling. Present yourself to them through
preaching and providence. Manifest your light and your love, and make their
hearts open to your charms. Do it Jesus, for your own sake and glory. Amen.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 34-36; 2 Peter 2
Thursday, November 24

Song of Solomon 5:2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that
knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled:

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 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.
It reaches to the highest mountain,
And it flows to the lowest valley;
The blood that gives me strength
From day to day,
It will never lose its power.
Andra Crouch, 1969

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS PRAYER LIFE

Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 28-30; 1 Peter 5
Tuesday, November 22

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 31-33; 2 Peter 1
Wednesday, November 23

Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to
pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

Mark 2:15 As Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also
together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

Dear Lord Jesus My Savior:

What will come to pass in my days? Will I seek the closet of prayer or seek
to walk out on display? I want the blessings of God; help me present my prayers
unspoiled by any desire for human observation.
I will get alone with you to move your arm. If I fast, I will not appear so to
men. If I plead personally with you, I will tell no one about it. May it be only a
secret between you and my own soul, because then I can claim the reward openly.
Do not let me become a Pharisee who blows his trumpet in the streets.
Lord, you acted to prevent interruption of your prayer. You located
yourself where you could pour-out your soul completely, and so sought the
mountain. Sometimes no walls can be appropriate for my prayer. No room can
hide and house my intercessions. I must walk with you while I pray, and pray to
you while I walk. Nature becomes my temple when I am talking to you!
I do not have giant hills or long shadows as my companions, but I still have
the sweet ministrations of your Spirit and your word. No pomp of human
ceremony can equal that. Let the winds (or even the air vents) bear the burdens
of my sighs (as well as my tears) on their willing wings today.
Samson moved the giant pillars in the temple of the Philistines god. He
was a dwarf compared to what I can be with you, because of what Jesus is for me!
Jesus is still on the mountain interceding as I pray. So let me bow my life to his
will as I ask your blessing. I seek you in the private place of my soul so I can
move your hand. Let me do it throughout the night of the church age, as I wait
for the dawn of my full redemption. Amen.

O Lord God and Gracious Redeemer:

I confess and acknowledge this Thanksgiving, every breath of my nostrils is
kept there by your continued grace. I owe my substance, my subsistence, my
happiness, my promotion, my maturity, my family, and my very existence only to
you. I especially feel this dependence when it comes to spiritual things and
spiritual warfare. I am less than nothing in the spiritual world. I feel this
increasingly, and yet even to feel it accurately is beyond my power.
Only your grace can make me really know my need of your grace. I am
unable to confess my own sinfulness until you show it to me, because though it
stares me in the face, my pride still denies it. Oh, Lord! I steal your power and call
it my own, until finally through some insurmountable frustration or failure, you
make me admit I have no strength in myself.
Lord, I want to acknowledge you with my life this holiday. I come humbly
admitting my many sins. I cannot even calculate how many, but I know how deep
and I see how black. I have sinned myself into hopeless misery unless your free
and undeserved grace rescues me from it. I thank you for any feeling of
repentance I have, and pray you will give me more! Lay me low before you, in a
consciousness of my undeserving state. Make me feel and mourn the atrocity of
my guilt. I know a tender heart can only come from you. By nature my heart is
like a rock; I am proud and self-righteous. Turn it to revival!
Help me make an acceptable confession of my sins, with such deep regret I
can only lean on the grace of your Son, Jesus. Here I stand, a publican and a
sinner. Jesus, sit down with me and raise me up to follow you! Amen.

FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY

SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS

Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 40-42; 1 John 1
Saturday, November 26

Lev. 26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall
make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through
your land.
Great Lord and Father:
Bless our country! Have pity on us in all our present afflictions. God bless
the President, his Cabinet, our lawmakers and the judiciary, with every mercy and
blessing. Make them fulfill your will for righteousness sake in our land.
Grant there may be a change in the state of the Middle East (and every
trouble spot). Protect our service members. Give our church members jobs,
who are looking for them now. Let people see your hand, understand why it is
laid on them, turn from wrongdoing, seek righteousness, and follow peace.
Lord hear us, as in secret we often cry to you for our nation and its rulers.
Lift up the light of your countenance on us. Even despite our national follies and
sins, help us walk in your path of justice and peace to carry the gospel.
Let us turn to you anew in revival! Let us prove the power of Jesus blood
for our daily cleansing. Let us prove the presence of your Holy Spirit for daily
teaching, guidance and sanctification. We need no other rock to build our church
on than Christ, the solid Rock. We desire no other hope than what you give us in
the gospel. We flee there for refuge today.
Heb. 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,
We need to come to Jesus as sinnersguilty, lost, by nature ruined. Give us
again the faith to look to Christ and see him hanging on the cross for us. Aid us
in leading others to the foot of that cross this Sunday, so they will see Jesus dying
for them. Then open their eyes that they might also trust in him. Please Sir,
prepare us for greater service to Jesus, whom we love. Amen.

Psa. 76:1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

Great God and Mighty Father:
You may be unknown in the world at large, but you have so revealed
yourself to me by works of grace, that you are not unknown to me. To know you
is to honor you; I know your name and therefore admire its greatness.
Lord, I pray for my friends, family and acquaintances who are still in
darkness. They know you not, and therefore blaspheme you. To them your name
is simply a convenient way to swear. Give me passion to proclaim your fame and
faithfulness to them!
Isa. 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
I glory in the knowledge you inhabit my life through the Holy Spirit. So all
attacks by the Enemy are futile in the end.
Psa. 76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou
restrain.
Haters may breathe their threats against me, but they are simply blowing
the trumpet of your fame when they do! Their furious winds simply drive me
more swiftly to port. The Devil blows the fire, but it only melts the metal, so you
can mold it into your Sons image. You make it a priority to right all my wrongs.
My Avenger is strong, so surely you will care for me. Evil will be overruled for
your praise.
Cause my life to lift-up your name for all nations, as I fulfill the Eternal
Purpose of God. Whatever else you get out of me, make my life a testimony to
the goodness of the Lord, and the grace that is in the Lord Jesus. Amen!

HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE

WELCOME

PRAYER DIARY

Welcome to our visitors! Please take connection cards from the back of the pew
in front of you, fill out the visitor portion, and put it in the offering plate. You are
our guest and wed like to know you are here!

TIMEWORSHIP

Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

INTERCEDE WITH GOD INSTRUCT SAINTS

PROMPT PETITIONS KICKSTART DEVOTION

THIS WEEKS EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

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.

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 with us)
Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in
the Word)

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.

Dont make excuses; make a difference!

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
