40 Days of Prayer Starts Sunday!

40 Days of Prayer

2014 

Power from God is available to those who pray. Jesus Spent 40 days in the wilderness fasting in preparation for His spiritual conflict with Satan (Matthew 4:1-3) because He understood the need for fasting and prayer to overcome evil (Mark 11:40). If our Lord felt the need for regular prayer, how much more should we, as His people, be devoted to prayer (Colossians 4:2)! To that end, our shepherds have called us to follow the example of Jesus by spending the next 40 days in concentrated, coordinated, congregational prayer.

Revival comes only when we humble ourselves before God (2 Chronicles 7:14).  Throughout the history of God's people, outpourings of spiritual power have been preceded by periods of intense prayer (Acts 1:14). In this evil age we believe the Lord's church needs to be revived by God's power.  Therefore the theme of this year's prayer campaign is "Revive Us Again."

All who are willing to participate are asked to use each week's prayer guide to pray each day for 40 days, and to pray for the specific needs identified by the overseers of our church family. Prayer items are labeled either PR (Praise), IN (Intercession), SG (Spiritual Growth), CF (Confession), or MN (Ministry Needs).

This year you are also encouraged by our shepherds to participate on the 20th Day (Friday, November 8) as a day of both prayer AND fasting.   Look for more details in regard to that day very soon!
