New Year's begining week of prayer for 2011.by Charles Kitner
To start the New Year off right for all of us, I have a prayer and fasting challenge for all to participate in.
I called our church to a time of prayer and fasting as the Lord would lead them individually. This year the prayer and fasting is to build relationship with the Lord, seeking His face and not His hand, to get in tune with the Lord better. Fasting can be complete fasting for the week, a month, 40 days or as long as God would lead you. Caution is necessary for those that take medications get and Ok from the doctor if necessary. I gave out a guide for each day that is to be just that a guide and not the letter of the law. It can be added to and one should be of the mind to be led of the Holy Spirit according to what He shows you in addition to what is given.
I am posting each days prayer guide for all who want to share in seeking God together with our church.
Read Matthew 6:1-17 prayerfully in preparation for the entire week. Ask God to give you a right heart and motive in your prayer time so you will benefit from the week and throughout the entire year. In this prayer from Jesus the heart of God is to be seen. God open our eyes to see and our ears to hear and our hearts to receive what you have for us.
Monday, January 3, 2011: Read Isaiah 58:1-14. Pray and ask God to show you what to do with what is written. How does this apply to me Lord? What would you have me to do God?
Tuesday, January 4, 2011: Part 1 read Philippians 2:1-4 meditate on it and see how God speaks to you as an individual. Listen for the Holy Spirit and the still small voice even. Part 2: Read Philippians 2:5-13 and prayerfully seek God for how this applies to you as an individual.
Wednesday, January 5, 2011: Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 pray ask God who you are and how has He placed you in the body of Christ for the work of ministry.
Thursday, January 6, 2011: Read Ephesians 1:1-14 prayerfully and ask God to show you how this applies to you...look at verse 3 and let God speak to you individually and then as to the relation with His church.
Friday, January 7, 2011: Paul's prayer for the Ephesians found in Ephesians 1:15-23 - read and then in prayer ask God to apply all of this to you personally. Pray this prayer for as long as you like even each day. It is a powerful prayer if you let God do it for you.
Saturday, January 8, 2011: Read Ephesians 6:10-20. Read and pray it for yourself. This is God's designer series of clothing for you as His soldier of the kingdom. Thye never go out of style.
Sunday, January 9, 2011: Read Matthew 9:32-38. Read and do as Jesus has asked us to do. Pray for the Lord to send forth laborers into His harvest. Then ask God what is my part and where?
It is my hearts desire to see each one that engages in this prayer time with God to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour.
Testimonies of how God blesses you in this week would be appreciated afterward.
Thank you and be blessed!
Pastor Kitner
