HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 9:00 & 10:45A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 1-3; 2 Timothy 3 Monday, October 21 Deut. 32:5their spot is not the spot of his children Heavenly Father and Holy Lord: I thank you I found the sweet-spot, secret-spot that always shows I am a child of God. I would be foolish to try and determine this on my own judgment, so your word reveals it to me. I thank you I can now know with certainty where I will spend eternity, because I have your word of revelation for my guide. So Lord, this is the spot I pray others will find! Because John 1:12 as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God I pray for __________ and __________ that they will receive Jesus into their heart and be made a child of God. John 1:12 even to them that believe on his name: I pray for __________ and __________ that they will believe on Jesus name, and simply from their heart trust Christ the crucified, who is now exalted to be their redeemer. This will make them a member of the family of the Most High. Whatever else they may not have or may not know, if they have this they have the privilege of being a child of God. Lord, make it so! John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Here it is in a nutshell. Christ comes as a shepherd and his sheep recognize him, trust him, and prepare to follow him. Lord, may all the lost people I work with, go to school with, and have contact with come to know you in the same way, with the same constant connection I have as your child. This sweet spot is the sure spot and indelible mark of being saved and belonging to your family. I beg you O Lord, let not this year pass until they have committed their soul to Christ. Help me be a wise winner of souls for eternity, for Jesus sake. Amen. A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 10-12; Titus 2 Thursday, October 24 Luke 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS MIRACLES Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 4-6; 2 Timothy 4 Tuesday, October 22 John 9:25 One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Miraculous Master: I will never move the world if I let the world keep moving me. My influence on others will only increase if I make my witness for Christ a personal one. What grace has done for me can be used to establish the faith of someone else. I need to say, One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then, even those who hate the changes in me wont be able to help noticing them. They know I was blind, but now I see. They know I was not moral, but now am virtuous. They know I was addicted, but now am free. They know I despised God, but now I fear him. That is the best answer for skeptics. We should be doing much better if, instead of writing books of argument, and entering into debates, we each keep on, in our sphere, attempting to convert souls, imploring the Spirit of God to come down upon us, and make us spiritual fathers and mothers in Israel. C.H. Spurgeon Oh, that others could see Jesus like I do since you gave me sight! Make me see a new beauty in Christ. Make me see a new loveliness in the gospel. Make me see an excellence in God my Father. If I have new eyes, do not let me use them to find a place to hide. I want to come out as boldly before others as this man did. If you have given me grace in my heart, give me the courage to confess it. Praise the Lord! I can see clearly now. Sin that once was my joy is now my shame. I come to church in a different spirit. My attitude to trials has changed. My language is not what it was. I have watched my temper to curb my temper. My nature is different. You have re-engineered my personality according to the input of information from your Word. You have transformed my attitude, conforming me to Christs image. So make me into a stronger witness. Amen. FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 13-15; Titus 3 Friday, October 25 Eph. 1:22-23 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Loving Lord and Living Head: We beg you to keep our church in your watchcare. Help us lean only on the hope of your grace to be defended by your mighty power. 1 John 3:2-3,8 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. O God, your Son was manifested that he might destroy the works of the Devil and make us sons of God. We pray he would destroy all the Devils work in our lives, and make us fulfill the mission of the eternal purpose of God. Grant today, that having that hope we may purify ourselves, even as Christ is pure. Then we will be made like him in his eternal and glorified state. We dont want just to arrive in the kingdom, but Lord, by your help we want to reign in the kingdom of your Son. And to reign in that kingdom to come, we need to rule our own ministries down here by the assistance of your grace. 2 Tim. 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. Father, we beg you to stir up the wills of your faithful people in our church! Cause us to stir up the gift of the Holy Ghost in ourselves. Make us bring forth fruit plentifully, and to so disciple others that the fruit remains. We look for this not because of who we are, but because of who your Son is. For it is in his name we confidently pray. Amen. WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 7-9; Titus 1 Wednesday, October 23 Isa. 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Great Lord and Strong Intercessor: I am a transgressor by nature, a transgressor by practice, a willful transgressor, a transgressor who clings to sin with a terrific tenacity, a transgressor who comes back to sin even after I have paid for it. Oh! I am a transgressor who omits duties if not pleasurable, and follows after sins that are known to cause sorrow. And yet the Just One embraces my cause and becomes an advocate for my pardon. Your mercy keeps pace with malice and outruns it, because you made intercession for the transgressors. When I dare not pray for myself, you are praying for me When I am under a sense of sin and unable to lift up my eyes to heaven, you are praying for me When I think, Surely it would be vain to seek my Fathers face, you are pleading for me Yes, and when I cannot plead because of deep distress, when I feel choked in the very attempt to pray, when the language of supplication blisters my lips because I feel so unworthy, and I cannot even force a groan from my despairing heart, you are praying for me! Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Let me learn from your example. Constant love puts up a ceaseless plea. Boundless compassion breathes out an endless prayer. Help me remember this when I get weary praying for the lost to be saved. For so I ask it in Jesus name and with his blessed assistance. Amen. SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 16-18; Philemon Saturday, October 26 Psa. 75:1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. O Mighty God: I cannot wait to give you thanks. I want to praise you with repetitiveness. Let me count weak praise and gratitude as just being ingratitude dressed-up! Because of your measureless mercies I should give you continual thanks. Why? Because you are still near at hand to answer and deliver. I adore you because you are ever-present to my need. I do not sing of an unknown and unknowable God, who winds-up the universe only to stand back and watch it run down. No, because Psa. 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Since you uphold and sustain everything that is right, there is really no cause for me to fear. Give me strength through the storm to your glory. Psa. 75:9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. There is a God who works in my life, and nothing happens by chance. People forget that today. How many times have I only seen fleshly force and human passion at work, but you are far more real than any of these powers. You are at work behind and within. You are near even now, and with me. Deliverance seems hopeless from earthly sources, but you always come through for your people. All power belongs to you, and everything else is shadow, unreal and a dream. Let me continually praise you because of that. You are the promise-keeping God. You delivered Jacob and David, and I can trust you to continue to bless me. You keep the covenant you made with your Son, to supply all his people whom he has redeemed. Thank you, Lord. Help me spread your fame abroad forever! I ask it for Jesus sake. Amen.

HUMBLY I ask Thee, teach me Your will,

While You are working, help me be still, Though Satan is busy, my God is real; Order my steps in Your word. Bridle my tongue, let my words edify, Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in Thy sight, Take charge of my thoughts both day and night; Order my steps in Your word. I Want to walk worthy, my calling to fulfill. Please order my steps, Lord, And Ill do Your blessed will. The world is ever changing, But You are still the same Please order my steps, Lord Ill praise Your name; Order my steps in Your word Order my steps in Your word dear Lord, Lead me, guide me everyday, Send Your anointing, Father I pray; Order my steps in Your word, please, order my steps in Your word.

PRAYER DIARY

1)

TIMEWORSHIP Mark 1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

GIVE GOD THE FIRST PART OF EVERY DAY. The first commitment is to a daily quiet time with God. Our weekly Prayer Diary provides a template for daily devotions. 2) TITHEWORK 1 Cor 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. GIVE GOD THE FIRST DIME OF EVERY DOLLARno questions asked. Ten percent is a miniscule amount in our affluent society, but it must come off the top in order to show that God is our priority. We want the blessing of the firstfruits (first devotion, first dime and first day) to flow out to the rest of our resources. 3) TEAMWORD Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. GIVE GOD THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK. You should fellowship with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.

INTERCEDE WITH GOD INSTRUCT SAINTS PROMPT PETITIONS KICKSTART DEVOTION

INSTRUCTIONS:

Baptists tend to ridicule liturgical churches that use "prepared prayers" because they lack spontaneity. But for many Baptists, their prayers are so predictable they are no more spontaneous than written-out prayers. The result is we end up praying the same things over and over. This daily Prayer Diary will prompt you on a wide range of prayer requests you might not normally think of, while forcing you to articulate a deeper devotion to God. We have included a daily Bible reading schedule. This plan will take you through the Bible chronologically in a year. Do not read ahead and do not try to catch up. Use each day as it comes. Then you can know that on any given day, dozens of other people are lifting their hearts in the same mind to God. Pray what is written, but use what is prayed as a springboard for your own relationship with God. You learn to pray by praying. Alan

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10 TH

Keeping Christ at the center (your core relationship of worship to God) Keeping the body of Christ a priority (your congregational relationship of walking with us) Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in the Word)

QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS

Secret prayer is the secret of prayer, the soul of prayer, the seal of prayer, the strength of prayer. If you do not pray alone you do not pray at all. Our Lord Jesus Christ would go nowhere till He had prayed. He would attempt nothing till He had prayed. Oh, says one, I live in the spirit of prayer, and therefore I do not need times and seasons for prayer. And do you think that Christ did not live in the spirit of prayer? Yet He had to have his special time and place to pray. Do not fall under the injurious notion that because your spirit cries to God in prayer all day long, therefore there must not be some season for more immediately coming into Gods presence. If you imagine this, I am afraid that it will prove a snare to your feet. The Lord Jesus Christ, who knew better than you do that the main thing is the spirit of prayer rather than the act of prayer, yet Himself retired into desert places to maintain the act and exercise of prayer. Be spiritual. Be baptized into the spirit of prayer. But do not be deceived by the enemy, who can steal a spirit away while we dream that we only spiritualize it. We had better preserve the very bones of prayerthe posture, the time, placerather than let it all ooze away into an impalpable mental condition. God keep us prayerful. He will do so if He makes us like His dear Son. Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-92
