HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER Chronological Bible Reading: Exodus 34-36; Matthew 22:1-23 Monday, February 3 2 Cor. 7:6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us God of All Comfort and Care: Who comforts like you do? Most of my lost friends live in such dire distress. What would I do if I were like them, and did not know you? What fear of death I would have! What anxiety about the future. What foreboding over the cruelty that others could do to me. Lord, speak peace through the cross of Christ to __________ and to __________. Redeem them and rescue them now. Yet Lord, some of your distressed and depressed children are no better off! You tell them sweet promises from the Word, whisper sweet comfort in their ear, and they still act like they never hear you. They listen to the voice of the charmer and deceiver, but not to yours. What a shame to be saved and still feel lost! Let me give you praise and hallelujahs today. Lift up my countenance as a testimony to others. Let me then say, there may be no balm in Gilead, but there is balm in God. My creator is Jehovah-rophi, the L ORD -who-heals . There is no physician so good as the Great Physician. Give me consolation so I can pass it on. Shed abroad your joy in my heart, so it might prime the pump for more joy out of the well of your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Help me follow your principle-prescriptions! I do not need to go to earthly acquaintances, and try to drown my sorrows in human relationships; I need to go to my God. I do not need something to numb the wound, but I need to bring pain in all its painfulness to you. Psa. 94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Do they indeed? They should, even above every other care or consideration. Help me give a positive and cheering witness for you today. Do so Lord for the sake of your Son, for he is worthy. He is worthy to be praised! A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING Chronological Bible Reading: Leviticus 1-3; Matthew 23:21-39 Thursday, February 6 Eph. 3:10-11 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS CROSS Chronological Bible Reading: Exodus 37-38; Matthew 22:24-46 Tuesday, February 4 Matt. 27:32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. Mighty Savior: Even the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. They would not exempt you from the agonies of dying on the cross; they only reduced the work of carrying it. They compelled an African named Simon. And just so, Lord. This world is redeemed by price, by Christ and Christ alone. But it also has to be reached by your power manifested in the sufferings and labors of the saints, as well as those of Jesus. The church has to suffer so the gospel can be spread; to be hurt for the gospel to be heard! I must likewise be willing to be compelled. Col. 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his bodys sake, which is the church: That is what a prayer focus on the cross will bring mea focus on my own application. There is nothing behind (lacking; a deficit) in the price, because Jesus paid it all. But there is something yet missing in the manifested power. Lord, you have my permission. Manifest it in my life, even through suffering. I am determined: you will not bear the cross alone. I consecrate myself this year to carrying the cross with you until the last shame has been poured-out on your cause, and you reign forever and ever! I see in Simons carrying the cross a picture of what I must do to reach my generation. I see now that you did not suffer so as to exclude my suffering. You did not bear a cross so I could escape one, but that through you I might endure. You have exempted me from the power of sin, but not the province of sorrow. You have taken the curse of my cross, but not removed from me the cross of the curse. How glorious you are in what you bear and what you share! Amen. FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY Chronological Bible Reading: Leviticus 4-6; Matthew 24:1-25 Friday, February 7 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. Lord, You Are Our Blessing! Graciously bless the church to which I belong. Let us know the power of prayer today and on Sunday. Especially pour out an intense spirit of prayer and supplication on the members of our church. Give us a soul-agony for the glory of God, and do not let it stop until we see revival. Send us Lordby a mighty winda groundswell of intense desire to see you glorified, and may we band together as servants in fellowship to invite others to hear the preaching on this Sunday. Help us be constantly aware of our duties to our dying Lord, and be determined the prayers of our church will ascend before you like fragrant perfume. For Lord, you are our blessing! Lord, convert our friends that are so unsaved. Oh mighty power of God, let no one come to church this Sundayeven accidentally or casuallywithout seeing the Holy Spirit is here. May the Spirit of God work mightily by our ministries, from our worship team, to our Sunday School classes, to our HarvestKids, to when we speak privately with individuals. Lord, glorify yourself! Come and mark us with your blood as being consecrated to your mission. As we have been buried with you by baptism into death, so make us really dead to the world and alive only to Christ today! Since you tell us to pray for everyone, so do I now especially pray for __________ and __________ who are lost. Keep them entirely dissatisfied until they find satisfaction in you, then let your mercies descend to keep them in peace. May deception be broken to splinters, and truth and righteousness win the day. Grant that it may be so for Jesus sake, for so we ask it in his name. Amen. WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING Chronological Bible Reading: Exodus 39-40; Matthew 23:1-20 Wednesday, February 5 Rom. 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. God of Hope: I have a great need for the continual manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. It is necessary, simply for my spiritual growth in grace. The power to be filled with joy and peace from believing, and the power to abound in hope, I it owe to the Holy Spirit. Eph. 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; To keep me happy and make me holy, there must be a manifestation of your power inside me. Then, to invade the territories of the enemy, I need that same power on the outside. And the power I have for external ministry is proportional to the power I yield-to inside of me. I know how much of your energy I have on the inside by how much influence toward Christ I have to others on the outside. I recognize that when my heart is warm within from revival, then I begin to see sin melt in my life. Lord, continue to make it so! Make me rich in the things of God. Make me strong with your Spirits energy. Put me on the attack against the enemy. You will not get out of me what is not put into me. Out of an empty heart I cannot speak things full of Christ. The first thing I have to do is look to my own life, and pray you would bless me, and make your face to shine upon me. Live with me Lord, and work in my heart. Your Spirit can be grieved and vexed, and even quenched, so I ask your forgiveness now for the many provocations he has received today. I bow before you and ask for revival because Jesus blood has bought and brought forgiveness for my sins. Amen. SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS Chronological Bible Reading: Leviticus 7-9; Matthew 24:26-51 Saturday, February 8 Psa. 86:1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. O Gracious God: My prayer is all the more pleasing to you when veins of praise run through it. I thank you Lord, that even when my prayers are timid because of embarrassment, or weak because I am sick, or unable to rise in faith because I am depressed, you still receive them. My very adversities and distresses become powerful reasons for my being heard by my gracious and merciful God. Misery is the master argument to obtain mercy from you. If I pray all day every day in my heart, I can have confidence you will hear me when I am on my knees. Davids plea was first that he was poor and needy, second that he was called and set apart, third he was your servant and learned to trust in you, and fourth that you taught him to pray daily. So should I follow that formula myself. I claim these things as reasons for answering my prayer. I will pray in adoring worship. Psa. 86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. Greatness and goodness are united in you. Being good, you graciously forgive me, and being great, you work wonders of mercy for me. Help me never praise you with less than all my heart, soul and strength. Since you never stop blessing me, let me never stop blessing you. Since you ever give me grace, let me always give you glory. I should sing the loudest because my debt to mercy is the greatest. You have kept me from the deepest dishonor and the direst consequences. Lift me now as I lift up your praise. Use me Lord, as I trust in your grace. Show your mercy mightily to others through my life today. Amen.

OH, the unsearchable riches of Christ, wealth that can never be told! Riches exhaustless of mercy and grace, precious, more precious than gold!
Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ! Who shall their greatness declare? Jewels whose luster our lives may adorn, pearls that the poorest may wear! Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ! Freely, how freely they flow, Making the souls of the faithful and true happy wherever they go! Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ! Who would not gladly endure Trials, afflictions, and crosses on earth, riches like these to secure! Precious, more precious, wealth that can never be told! Oh, the unsearchable riches of Christ! Precious, more precious than gold. Fanny Crosby, 1882

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.

" INTERCEDE WITH GOD " INSTRUCT SAINTS " PROMPT PETITIONS " KICKSTART DEVOTION

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.

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

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
