Day 38

Pray


Heavenly Father, I come to You now to renew my place in You. I acknowledge that You are the Creator of all things and the Provider of all I need. You are the Great I AM. The First and the Last, the King of kings and Lord of lords. You alone are life. No one comes before You, and today, I will pursue life in You as my greatest passion.

Father, thank You for ransoming me with the life of Your Son. Jesus, thank You for being my substitute and paying for all of my sins. I believe in Your resurrection, and it is through my faith in You that I can now approach my Heavenly Father with freedom and confidence. I claim the power of Your resurrection in my life and I now bring every aspect of my life, including my family [name your spouse and/or children] and my work under Your authority and Your Kingdom. 

In You, Jesus, I have received a new life and have been raised to walk in the newness of that life. I ask that Your Holy Spirit search me, know me and reveal to me any aspect of my life that is not pleasing to You. Show me the things in my life that prevent me from knowing Your will, and give me the strength to repent. Holy Spirit, I also ask you to awaken my heart to everything You want to do through me and the steps You want me to take for You. Jesus, I believe You have new things to declare for my life and I ask in Your name that You make them known to me.

Jesus, I also ask You to reveal to me in every way possible those in my current relationships for whom I should intercede in prayer and reach out to in Your name. I pray today for opportunities to be Your light in their life so they will grow in the knowledge of You.

Father, I pray for all of the leaders at Stonecreek Church who join with me for this time of prayer. Search us, break us and unify us as men and women of the one true living God so new things can be accomplished for Your Kingdom in our homes, our community and around the world.

Holy Spirit, fill Your church with the strength and endurance to bring spiritual revolution in these times. Stir our hearts to pray as never before and to have discernment and a boldness to share the life we have in Jesus.

Now, Father, I pray for 10/10/10 and every new thing You will bring about in me, my community and our church. You are able to do immeasurably more than all I can ever ask or imagine. To You be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever!

Amen. 

Daily Fast | An Invitation To Finish

With only three days left in our 40-day prayer journey there is still time to join our Senior Pastor on a daily fast from something of importance in your life. Watch this brief video and use this weekend as a time to finish strong!

Reflect And Respond | No Matter The Size

Peter, stepped out of a boat and walked on water. David defeated a giant. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego survived a fiery furnace.

In all these stories there was an explicit or implicit invitation to move in faith. But do not think all faith steps and new things must be big ones. No matter the size of the step, all God looks for is whether you will respond to His invitation to move in faith.

What keeps you from responding to God's invitation to move in faith? Is it guilt, fear or the need to control? Are you more focused on the size of the new things God is declaring and missing the fact that God is at work declaring new things in your life. 

Ask God right now to set you free from any weight or expectation. Read back through your notes and commit to taking a faith step in the direction He leads you. Then, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and keep moving to 10/10/10.
