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 23

God needs us to pray!

Prayer is simultaneously an incredible privilege but also an awesome responsibility. It affords us the opportunity to partner with God and to create with Him. John Wesley wrote the following:

“God does nothing on earth save in answer to believing prayer”

If that is true, and there is no reason to believe that it is not then that is something we can loose some sleep over.

Jack Hayford puts it this way:

“Prayer is essentially a partnership of the redeemed child of God working hand in hand with God toward the realization of His redemptive purpose on earth”

Let us rise to the challenge and invitation to be co-labourers with God, to be His ambassadors in the city and to pray things into existence that currently don’t exist.

Jeremiah 33:3
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.

Jeremiah 33:3 (MSG)
Call to me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.
