REC 100 Days Prayer Meeting Day 63 - I will encamp at my house as a guard and I see with my own eyes!

 

 

Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence

2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile

2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

3.   Sing a song to praise God (you are welcome to use "Father, I adore you" which I have been singing every morning for the past 20 years or your own choice to praise God)

          Father, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Jesus, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Spirit, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

      

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

3.  John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

(Please click this link to see how God used John Stott to change my life:https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/07/

           "Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.

             Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.

             Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

    

    The link to today's Time with Abba passages:   http://api.pastoralcareschool.org/twa/

    Time with Abba passages: Psalm 147:1-11; Zachariah 9:1-17; Revelation 17:1-18; Proverbs 30:32)

    Today's key passage:

     Then I will encamp at my house as a guard,

    so that none shall march to and fro;
no oppressor shall again overrun them,
    for now I see with my own eyes.

       Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!

    Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Lo, your king comes to you;
    triumphant and victorious is he,
humble and riding on an ass,
    on a colt the foal of an ass.

                            Zechariah 9:8-9

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to him. 

   

     My Listening

    The topic I received  from Jesus is:  I will encamp at my house as a guard and I see with my own eyes! 

    Today's passage from Zechariah 9:8-9 prophesied the scene of how Messiah went in Jerusalem riding a colt. It gives us lots of comfort in this dark time of pandemic telling us that if we are willing to repent and to have Jesus as Lord of our house, then He will encamp at your house as a guard because that is also His house. He will see with His own eyes that everything is safe and secure.

    What you need to do is to wait for the presence of Jesus each day and to feel His presence, knowing that He will guard you and your house!

B

   May we pray for our church on the 63rd  day of our 100 days Prayer Meeting now:

 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for your promise that you will encamp at our house and to see with your own eyes that we are safe and secure. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

  

 

      Reflect on these questions:

     1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

      

      2.  What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus?
