CHALLENGE
Pray for the Lord to awaken you and His workers to the harvest. Pray that EVERY member of H.S.B.C. would share their personal testimony on “whativaluemost.com”
WEEK ONE (April 4 - 10)
Ask God to make H.S.B.C.& our leaders as devoted to prayer as were the New Testament Christians. [Devoted means: “diligently occupied with.”]
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I am delighted that you are joining in on this 30 Day Prayer Challenge! Together, we’ll offer up prayers for spiritual revival of the church, awakening of the community and renewal of our nation!
Confess for yourself & our church any lack of devotion to prayer that you are aware of. Ask God for 40 intercessors a week to fill the prayer room and 40 prayer warriors to intercede for 1 hour each week at home! Ask God to show us ways that we can emphasize prayer in greater measure at H.S.B.C.
Jesus declared that His followers are the salt of the earth & the light of the world & we must become engaged in this battle for our nation’s soul. However, until we experience revival in our own lives, it will be extremely difficult to restore our nation’s moral foundations. This battle is not just about voting booths or laws. A spiritual battle is being waged across our nation, and it must be met with spiritual weapons.
Ask God to help us become more dependent upon prayer.
Tuesday, April 5 - REVIVAL & SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
God’s people must pray for a great outpouring of God’s Spirit on themselves, the churches, and the nation. Then, when God has responded with His outpouring, His people will be empowered and motivated to work at restoring our nation’s moral foundation.
Ask God for an undeniable demonstration of the power and the presence of God in our church and in the Pine Belt.
Confess any known sin and set aside any actions that do not represent Christ.
This Prayer Guide is just that — a guide. It’s designed to give you a starting place for your time of prayer with your prayer partner.
Ask the Lord to use you as an instrument for revival.
• Pray once each day between April 4 and May 3 with your assigned prayer partner. (Either in person or by phone). Begin with the guide, but pray for one another as well! Use this challenge as a time to get to know your prayer partner and to stand in the gap for them!
Pray toward an unwavering desire to abide in and depend on the Lord for everything.
