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

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 106-108; 1 Corinthians 12 Monday, August 19 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Lord, forgive my sins for the sake of the love which you bear for your own Son, and for the sake of the love that your Son bears to you. Do it for the sake of his humiliation, when he took-on flesh himself, that he might look like a sinner and be made my sacrifice, though he himself was free from all sin. Do it for the sake of his perfect but painful obedience in all things, which gave complete honor to your law. Do it for the sake of the curse he bore and the death he suffered, which has glorified your authority, and honored your justice more than my sins ever offended them. Remember his dying groans. Remember his agonies when the hour, and the power of darkness was on him. So let not the powers of darkness prevail over me, since I trust in him. Remember the day you stood afar off from your Son, and he cried out as one forsaken by God. Let me have your everlasting presence with me and never let me be forsaken by you, since your Son has borne that grief. Again, I plead the intercession of Jesus my High Priest above. Lord I would ask you for nothing less than what Jesus is already asking on my behalf. I would willingly request for the souls of __________ and __________ in salvation! Look only on the Lamb, as he had been slain, in the midst of the throne. Look on his pure and perfect righteousness Lord, and not on my wickedness. Look on that blood, with which my High Priest entered into the highest heaven. Bestow every blessing on me that his finished work purchased, and that the great and infinite Petitioner pleads for, at your right hand of power and skill. What can you deny your Son? He told us you hear him always. For the sake of the Son of your love, deny me not your grace to witness to others this week. Amen. A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 115-117; 1 Corinthians 15 Thursday, August 22 Deut. 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. I am resolved no longer to linger, charmed by the worlds delight, Things that are higher, things that are nobler, these have allured my sight. I am resolved to go to the Savior, leaving my sin and strife; He is the true One, He is the just One, He hath the words of life. I am resolved to follow the Savior, faithful and true each day; Heed what He sayeth, do what He willeth, He is the living Way. I am resolved to enter the kingdom leaving the paths of sin; Friends may oppose me, foes may beset me, still will I enter in. I am resolved, and who will go with me? Come, friends, without delay, Taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit, well walk the heavnly way. I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free; Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee. I will hasten, hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free; Jesus, Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee. Palmer Hartsough, 1896 TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS MIRACLES Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 109-111; 1 Corinthians 13 Tuesday, August 20 Luke 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. Lord, Master and Savior: Getting saved is a divine action, but if people are going to be presented the gospel and won to Christ, it always takes some kind of human involvement. This catch of fish was spectacular, but the fishermen, tackle, and boat were not ignored. In the saving of spiritual souls you still use physical means! 1 Cor. 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. When you work without human intervention you are glorified, but you have chosen me, even me! to reach __________ and __________, or someone else, because then you are more magnified. Luke 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: Instruments alone are useless. Were they not fishermen? Did they not understand their job? Were they unskilled or lazy? Did they lack any initiative? No, they toiled. Did they not persevere? Yes, for they worked all the night. Was there a lack of fish in the sea of Galilee? No, because as soon as you got involved, Nemo and all his friends came and were caught. But there is no power in the instruments themselves apart from you! That is why I cry out to you now. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Lord, send me soul-fishing today! Let it be said, Num. 23:21 The LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 118-120; 1 Corinthians 16 Friday, August 23 Matt. 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. Great and Glorious Father of Love: Bless our church. Give us more faith. Make our prayers salted with faith. When our pastors preach, let them preach in faith. May all that is done in our fellowship be done by unity in Christ and simple confidence in God. We know if we do not believe we will never be stable. (Hello somebody!) We can expect to see no result from our ministries unless it is done in faith. Give the hundreds of members of our church the childlike simplicity that never thinks about doubting God. Make us go forward, with all weaknesses made strong by the strength of Jesus Christ. Give a blessing to the missionaries we support abroad. Give us growth in our spiritual lives. Lift us to a higher level. Bring us out of the mists of doubt and fear, to climb the heights of our security in Christ and oneness with him. Grant this faith to our entire church body! Titus 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of Gods elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; We talk about the lost and how they need faith, but the lost will be brought in, and people will be saved, when we Christians believe our God more! Make us in this church believe you more. Your mission will be accomplished and your glory made visible to the community as soon as we have the confidence we ought to have in you. You are worthy. You ought to be trusted. We ought to be moving forward in the mission. Accept this feeble request by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Send a shower of revival in our midst. Let us give more glory to you, and never be distrustful in any painful circumstance. To Jesus glory we ask this. Amen. WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 112-114; 1 Corinthians 14 Wednesday, August 21 Rom. 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Oh Lord: Some duties arise out of this hour. Wake me Lord from the sleep of apathy and the coma of inactivity. Let not my Christianity consist only of receiving, and never doing. Help me Holy Spirit, to both gird-up my loins and to yield my body to you as a living sacrifice. Revival will let me leave apathy and lethargy behind. Morning is coming; I need to be ready. It is high time I awoke out of half-heartedness. Jesus! It is time to stop dreaming. Help me live for eternal realities that are present even today. Help me put out all my power and awake all my energy for you. After I wake up I need to throw off my nightclothes. I need to put off everything that once covered me when I was in darkness. I need to undress so I can start to dress-up. I have so many sins and foolish habits that need to be thrown off! I cannot profess to be saved just by putting new religion over my old nature. No! I have to cast off the sinner before I can call myself a saint. I still have too many rags of corruption rotting under my raiment of profession. Lord, you did not come to save me in my sins, but from my sins! I cannot believe in Christ and continue in an unclean life. Give me holiness by your Holy Spirit in revival! I will have no victory unless you give me more grace. Take away the love of sin so I can put on the robe of Christ. The danger is not overI need my armor. Darkness is departing but I still need my armor. The sooner I wake up, the more I need my armor, for the day of battle is come. Dress me according to what I will meet with today! I am not home yet. Revive me even in enemy territory because Jesus has won it for me. Amen. SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 121-123; 2 Corinthians 1 Saturday, August 24 Psa. 17:15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. Faithful Father: What satisfies other men and women my age? Something that fills their body? Something that fills their house? Something that fills their bank account? Something that fills their children? Something that fills their heart? People of the world have their treasure in this world. Thats why they come to me and to other Christians when they start to look higher and farther for satisfaction. They see that the satisfaction I have is twofold: I get Gods presence here and I get Gods likeness hereafter. Here, as long as I stay in the hard but right path, I behold the face of the Lord. But oh, the impact that has! 2 Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Seeing it does not end it. I am actually transformed into that which I am looking at! I become what I behold. I sleep a while, and wake up to find myself a mirror image of the beauties of the Lord! Faith sees Christ with a transforming look. My heart receives your image into its own depths, and then the imprint of Jesus is left on my soul, and it becomes observable to all who know me. That is satisfaction. When I see that, I am content. What more can I desire this year than those two things: to see you and to be made more like you? I believe I can have it; I do expect it; I offer you this plea for it. Lord, bestow it for your Sons sake. Lord, he died to impart it. Lord, give it for your Spirits sake, who lives inside me to display it. I have to ask this, for it is what Jesus wants. Grant it for his sake and glory! Amen.

PRAYER DIARY

THIS WEEKS EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE

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

TUESDAY

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.

THURSDAY

Ladies Bible Study 7:00P.M. in room 6 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
