2012 Prayer & Fasting – Day 19

Prayer Focus: Connect/Salvations

As I was reading EM Bounds book “The Weapon of Prayer” this week, a picture began to be painted in my mind. When you hook a trailer to a vehicle it takes a few steps. The initial is the trailer being attached, much like the step of accepting Christ as Savior. You can move the trailer but you must move slow and not have any adverse conditions. Like the time a group was headed out, the trailer wasn’t attached correctly and the minute they hit the curvy roads the trailer was lost. We are like that we connect through salvation, but if we don’t add the additional safety precautions we could get disconnected. We need to also add the safety chains of Prayer, the Word and the local church that help us grow and mature. When these begin to happen we realize we are part of Christ’s body and that we have abilities and gifts that the people around us need.
Romans 12:4-6 (NLT)
4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.

Then lastly you attach the power cable that provides you with the power and wisdom to affect those around you. As you work in unity with Christ your example begins to give direction to those that are lost around you. As it has been said you may be the only Jesus some people ever see! What signals are you giving off? Is your example one that is worth following? If your not sure spend some time in prayer today and ask God to help you be a better example that you might lead your neighbor to Christ!

Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost” Our prayer focus today is for people to find salvation like never before in 2012. That record numbers would be saved and connected to the body of Christ at Antioch.

Prayer Focus: Endurance

Karla Blake

We are at the middle of the prayer & fasting… some may be great … some may be counting the days to the end.

Today our focus is endurance no only for the fast but in our walk with God.

Hebrews 12: 1- 3 – NLT

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.t Because of the joyt awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. 3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people;t then you won’t become weary and give up.

quote: ”count the cost for he tells us to but when adding up the total sit at the foot of the cross”  – A chance to die – Amy Carmichael.

For any thing we endure will never compare to all christ did for us.

”The Power Of Us All” – Day 2

2012 – Antioch Church prayer & fasting ”The Power Of Us All” Day 2

Prayer Focus: Family

Psalms 91 NKJV

This is such a powerful scripture.  I challenge you to take some time today and line by line pray this over yourself and your family.

Personalize it by adding your name or “me” in the appropriate places.  As you live your life in God’s presence He will cover you.
