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 38

The revelation of the Character of God through the ‘Mind Moulders’

Sport
Actually part of the Arts & Entertainment domain but it is also an area of great influence in its own right.

The Arts (& Entertainment)
The arts reveal God as the Artist, the Potter, the Creator. The attribute of God that is revealed is beauty. God governs in this domain through the Law of Aesthetics.

Gal 5:22-26
But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become glory-seeking, provoking one another, envying one another.

Pray for:
* The integrity and testimony of Christian sports men and women
* Godly influence of sports officials and coaches on the youth
* The Church in London to have a place of influence during and in the build up to the 2012 Olympic games
