1 Cor. 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God
chosen,
Great and Glorious Savior:
When the lights go down in the city, I see sinners. When night is dark and
bars let out, I see sinners. In psychiatric wards and juvenile detention centers, I
see sinners. People I would not want to meet in an alley, I see them. Sure in jails,
but also in suburban malls, and even churches, I see sinners.
I do not have to ransack earth to find sinners. Mostly I can just look around
myself, at work, at school, in my home. Base people doing despicable things, in
just about every cubicle. They are the ones for whom Jesus died!
Choose the grossest specimen among humanity and I can yet have hope,
because Jesus Christ is seeking to save sinners. Your love selects the worst to be
made the best. Gravel from the ground turns into diamonds for the crown! A
worthless metalleadis made by spiritual alchemy into gold.
Your redeeming love sets-apart the worst of the human race to be the
reward of Christs passion. Actually, the reward for the travail of your soul might
be sitting next to me today. By your grace, call them to Jesus! Make the vilest
come sit at the table of mercy with me, because no one has to despair.
Love looked through your tears. Love streamed down with your blood.
That faithful love, that strong love, that pure, distinct and abiding love really and
truly exists! Let me warn people not to turn from it, as though it were nothing or
did not exist, but to believe on you and be saved. Help __________ and
__________ to trust their soul to you right now. Bring them Jesus, to your
Fathers house in glory. This is a thing I know I can trust you to use me to bring
about, for you chose the base and despised when you saved me. Glory!
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING

Chronological Bible Reading: Micah 1-3; Revelation 11
Tuesday, December 19
John 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother
of Jesus was there:
Lord God and Father:
Twice I am told you performed your first miracle in Canain Galilee of all
places! You did not choose a wedding in high society at Jerusalem, or at any of
the noble cities in Israel. You went to a quiet, queer village on the outskirts, in
Galilee of the Gentiles, a neighborhood much despised.
You did not begin your miracle-working ministry in front of the king, or
the governor, or even the high priest. And now Jesus, you come to me, and
exchanged wine for my water. You not only give me your presence, but your
presence heightened by happiness. You have gone beyond my necessity, and
given me enjoyment. I have so much, yet I thank you for so little of it.
Isa. 25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a
feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees
well refined.
You give me grace to dine with, grace to rejoice with, grace to fill me with
security, and cause me to overflow in grace. You do not measure grace by the
drop, like the pharmacist does. You give liberally, filled to the brim!
And you do not need nagging to do it. If I feel like I have to pray up to a
certain amount, I am mistaken. You are more ready to meet my needs than I am
to plead for them. To get this supply, nothing is required except what is easy and
natural. I must fetch water from your word. Give me enough energy to draw
from the well of the Bible and fill my reservoir of faith!
Lord, by your Spirit, you can enter and change my heart. Turn this earthen
vessel into a keg of blessing today! Do it to Jesus glory. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY

Chronological Bible Reading: Micah 4-7; Revelation 12
Wednesday, December 20
Deut. 32:36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his
servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
Almighty Lord and Gracious Heavenly Father:
My extremity is your opportunity. So I want to lay to heart the weak
condition of my church, minished and brought low, and cry to you to raise it up.
Help me find every possible and right means to bring revival. When the way
is blocked, and it seems like there is no chance for success, then I will fall back on
the promise of this verse, and plead it with you in prayer.
I believe if I pray in faith, spiritual momentum will return to the church. I
believe just six people who are on praying ground can pray our church out of
any ditch into which we fallor bring us out even from the grave where our
haters bury usand make us live again before you. But there must be
earnestness, and an intense determination of faith. I must have real anguish of
heart, and travail in my own soul until revival comes. This is why revival tarries.
The fact we come to the end of the rope at the end of the year cheers me.
Because rather than driving me to despair it drives me to pray, and to lock wrists
with others in prayer today. When I am so low, at least there is consolation in the
fact I cannot go any lower. Now is the time to hope! Now is the time to have
faith the tide will turn. Now God will raise us up!
You brought us, in the order of providence, to such a state that our power is
gone. We are unable to bring revival to ourselves. All earthly plans fail us. There is
none shut up, or leftno garrison in the city, no soldier in the field, no help on the
horizon, no reserve. But I beseech you Godnow that all human avenues are
exhaustedfly to us! I do not give up my hope. I trust in your compassion. By
faith I grasp your promise. May others perceive it with me today! Amen.

Gracious Lord, Strong and Mighty:
Jesus who lived a marvelous life, died a marvelous death, and arose by a
marvelous resurrection, sends the Holy Spirit into my heart to do marvelous
deeds. Idols fall, superstitions wither-away, systems of error flee, fears vanish,
foes are vanquishedeven evil empires perish. For all this you deserve the
highest praise. Your acts prove your existence. Jesus is Jehovah; we sing to you as
LORD.
Your victories Jesus are more wonderful still, because they are not won by
physical means but by moral influenceby the energy of goodness rooted in
justice and founded on truth. In a word, by the power of your holy arm. Your
gracious influence is the sole cause of my spiritual success.
The salvation you achieve is the result of your wonderful wisdom, and so it
is ascribed to your right hand. It meets all the requirements of true justice. It is
beyond my human comprehension; hence it deserves a new song.
Psa. 98:4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise,
and rejoice, and sing praise.
I need to shout as if welcoming a King. Let the proclamation of your gospel
reign among us!
Sing lustily, and with a good courage. Beware of singing like you are half dead or half
asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no more afraid of your voice now, no more
ashamed of its being heard than when you sang the songs of Satan. John Wesley
Let every form of praise be used, and every style of music pressed-into
service. We have heard the joyful soundspread the tidings all around. Jesus saves!
