STANDING IN THE GAP FOR THE CHURCH

Forty days of focussed prayer and fasting 20 June – 29 July

FAITH FOR A CHURCH, FAITH FOR A CITY

2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Eph:20-23 All this energy issues from Christ; God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ's body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.

Devotion - Day 20

Doing and Praying

“No amount of activity in the King’s service can make up for the King Himself” Duncan Campbell

“Do more than pray but only after you have prayed. You cannot do more than pray until you have prayed” S D Gordon

Gordon goes on to explain that in prayer we gain the victory, strike the winning blow and in our Christian work of service or ministry we gather up the results.

In our approach to prayer we cannot be fatalistic. We cannot have the attitude of que sera, sera - what will be will be, that everything is fixed. In prayer we can make a difference. Create with God.

‘God does nothing on earth save in answer to believing prayer’ John Wesley

That is something we can loose some sleep over.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I have desired from the Lord, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah and to pray in His temple.

Mat 5:16
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.
