DAY 21.
EXPRESS FAITH IN GOD’S POWER
“…FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER…”
Today is day 21! The final day of our 3 weeks of prayer. We hope that during this time you have started developing a regular time of prayer with the Lord. We hope that you have heard from God and experienced His presence like never before. We hope that you have grabbed onto God’s Word like never before and have found the promises of His character and your identity.
As we finish this last day of prayer together, I encourage you to write down what God did during this time. We forget so easily, but one of the most powerful things we can do is to remember. Remember what God did for you. Remember what God spoke to you. Remember what God has done in lives of your family and your friends. Remember how your prayer life has changed. Then praise and thank Him for it.
So, its Sunday again. I encourage you if you haven’t planned on it, come to church. Come and be in God’s presence with His people. Come and hear His word in song and in teaching. Come and fellowship and love on His people with us. Celebrate what God is doing in your life. Bring your time, talent and treasure to God’s community as an offering and celebration of who He is in your life. When we do this we are proclaiming this last phrase of the Lord’s prayer with our lives: “Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.”
‘Yours, Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord , is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. ‘
1 Chronicles 29:11-14 NIV
‘I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. ‘
Ephesians 3:16-19
PRAY THIS:
God, we proclaim that we were made for you. All that we are and have was made for your glory. Thank you Jesus for rescuing us from the dominion of darkness and bringing us into your kingdom of life and light. Thank you for teaching us how to pray Jesus. Thank you for giving us everything we need to live for you. Give us your grace and strength to keep seeking you and prioritizing prayer. Lead us continually to you and your presence. Lord have your way in our lives. Strengthen us with your Spirit so that Jesus can dwell in our hearts. Let us be rooted and grounded in your love, so that together with your people we can understand how wide, long, high and how deep your love is for us. Amen
