Ephesians 3:14-21

Do you personally know the height and depth of God’s love for man? Press in for more! It is abundant love that overcomes all the darkness. God’s love will press out the dark and draw men and women to Him. Take time to soak in His love and ask God for how you should pray for the rest of this season of prayer. What does He want you to ask for? How does He want you to intercede? Let Him have control of your imagination. Let’s make His name known for all generations!

Corinthians 12:9-10

Here is one of those classic confusing principles of the Kingdom. I’m make strong when I am weak. It is like being the humblest servant if I want to be master or giving my life away if I want to keep it. What does this really mean?

The key here is that the more dependent I am on God the more available His power and strength are to me. It is in my weakness that His strength is demonstrated. If we try to accomplish something in our own strength He lets us, but if we depend on Him He is faithful to work for us and through us. He is faithful to give us what we need and empower us to do His will. Are you struggling with this fast? Do you feel weak? Great! Lean into His strong arms; rest in His strength and provision. He can do it through your weakness.

Day 12: Devotion

Psalm 126

Sometimes the job of intercession exposes the intercessor to something that is heartbreaking. It may be a situation God reveals or something personal in your life. This Psalm reminds us that it is the humble and contrite in spirit who will inherit the Kingdom of God. What you pray and ‘sow’ into over these days with tears of sorrow will be harvested in joy. In a contemplative way it is our tears of brokenness that water the seeds of our prayers. 

As you start to see the harvest released don’t forget to praise God and take the time to rejoice in the harvest

Titus 2:11-14

Jesus is the redeemer of mankind. He has an amazing ability to take our weaknesses, failures and wounds and redeem them for good. He takes defeat and transforms it into victory. He redeems our sinfulness and makes us righteous and holy. He can take the darkness of our suburbs and redeem it for His glory.

He is just waiting for us to ask and act. Is there anything you need to give to Jesus to be redeemed? What needs to be redeemed in our homes, schools and businesses? Ask the Lord to do it

Day 10: Devotion

2 Chronicles 7:14 This is a very well known passage especially in the drought-prone Australia. But focus on the terms of this promise from God. We use humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways (repentance) and then God will heal our land. Our western suburbs need healing as well. Ask the Lord which areas need to be healed. We can stand in the gap on the behalf of other and repent for sin and brokenness. Spent time today repenting on others' behalf. Ask the Lord to now replace brokenness with wholeness and blessing.
