MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS MIRACLES
Chronological Bible Reading: Ezra 7-10; John 19:1-21
Monday, June 12
Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye
have seen him go into heaven.
Magnificent Lord and Mighty Redeemer:
I give you thanks for two great benefits. First, I prayed, trusted Jesus and
got saved. Second, I understand the first benefit means I must serve you. While
many honor your first coming, I want to celebrate your soon return. In order to
celebrate, I give you my life. When you arrive I want to be found faithful. Since
you came to suffer for me, let me not hesitate being a living sacrifice to you.
Rev. 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even
so, come, Lord Jesus.
My glorious hope is to share your joy as I share in your glory. Today your
true people are in concealment, and many times in humiliation (like you were in
your earthly ministry). But when you return it will be time for my manifestation,
just as simultaneously it will be time of your revelation.
Dead Christians will live. The slandered and despised will shine. We will be
installed as kings and priests. The night of darkness will be over, the church age
passed, and the splendor of reigning with you will be total repayment for the ages
of witnessing and warring, blessing and battling.
The sounds and signs of the times signal your approach. It is music to my
heart. Let me ring the bells of hope in __________s and __________s life.
1 Thes. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
2 Thes. 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all
them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Nehemiah 7-9, John 21
Thursday, June 15
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord
require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
MY hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly trust in Jesus name.
When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood, support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Edward Mote, 1834

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Nehemiah 1-3; John 19:22-42
Tuesday, June 13
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him
that believeth.
Heavenly Father:
Unbelief is the greatest hindrance to my progress and praying. As a matter
of fact, there is no other real obstacle to my spiritual growth and prosperity
than distrust. You can do anything, Lord. But you made it a rule that it will be
with me according to my faith; and so it is. I am ashamed my distrust and
unbelief ties the hands of your omnipotence!
Make me believe, because I need to scatter the conspirators conspiracies of
evil working against me this week
Make me believe, because despised truth waits to raise its head and show
itself to others through me
Make me believe, because then I can bear my load of trouble and pass
through waves of distress with joy for your fellowship
Let me believe, because the girdle of peace is buckled by the hands of trust
What can I not believe? Is everything possible except believing you? No,
because you are always true, even when the facts and I are false.
The greatest miracle is for you to banish my unbelief. And I have noticed
Lord, when my heart is right then faith takes no effort at all. It is as natural for
me to rely on you as it is for a child to trust his father. The worst thing is, it
seems like I can believe you for every trial except the present one. Why is that?
Lord, help me shake-off sinful distrust today. I trust you with the load, the
labor, and longing of the present hour. I trust you with my purpose, perfection
and passion. Once this is done, everything is done. I ask it not for myself, but for
Jesus sake. I ask it in his authority, and so I ask it using his name. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: Nehemiah 10-13; Acts 1
Friday, June 16
Isa. 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and
rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:
Oh Lord of Glory, Great and Mighty:
Why are we always worrying and fretting, questioning and mistrusting? We
have a real weakness there, for it adds nothing to our planning and it kills the
spirit of revival. We gain nothing by fearing and fumingnothing except making
ourselves unfit for action. Nothing except detaching our mind from wise
decisions. Why should we sink because of our struggles, when we could fulfill
Gods eternal purpose by floating on faith and trusting in your providence?
Lord, give us grace to be quiet! Do not let us run from person to person,
repeating the same sad song, which only makes us more heartsick the more we
sing it. Give us this goal: that we will eliminate complaining and so prepare
the way for the Spirit to work in revival. How much time is wasted crying in
self-pity because of forebodings that never come, things that never happen, and
bad prospects never fulfilled? It is good to have a quiet tongue, and better to keep
a quiet heart.
Psa. 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God:
God, give us more grace to be confident in you. Restore our courage, Lord.
You always deliver your own. You cannot run away from a fight if it involves
defending your church and your children. Even if the mountains flee, your
word stands, so you deserve to be confided in! You are our safe place. Help us
display this confidence and its consequent quietness in our lives.
John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus
loved.
Lord, make us be that disciple today! Help us return to our rest. Amen.
Chronological Bible Reading: Nehemiah 4-6; John 20
Wednesday, June 14
Zech. 14:7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor
night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
Glorious God and Heavenly Father:
You work in a way so far above my fears, and even beyond my hopes. It
transcends my sight, so turn now the dark night of doubt into bright light around
me. My heart often prophesies the darkness will deepen into midnight. Make it
not so. Give me your grace to live with higher expectations. Do not let anything
hinder the momentum of your Spirit, or grieve and chase him away!
Help me keep others out of despair as well. You can turn even the darkness
of the shadow of death into morning; so let me trust in you. It is only after the
order for bricks is doubled that Moses appears to deliver his people. It is just
when tribulation overflows that it is closest to ending.
Let me use this promise to help my patience! The light may not shine until
my hope is drained away, waiting all day to no purpose. For the wicked, the sun
goes down while it is yet day, but for the righteous the sun rises when it is almost
night. Help me wait with patience for the light of revival, which shows us the
light of revelation, and makes plain the light of your will, and then remember,
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh,
when no man can work.
Light is always worth waiting for! Give to me, my pastors, those in my
church, and our missionaries abroad, enough light to serve you another day. I
know I can thank you and praise you in advance, because you have promised to
bless us in a way surpassing anything nature has seen at her best.
Encourage others as you deliver me from sadness, and do this all to your
glory and praise. For it is in Jesus name I ask it. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: Esther 1-2; Acts 2
Saturday, June 17
Psa. 30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my
sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Heavenly Father:
Prayer is my unfailing resource. When I am driven to my wits end I can still
go to the mercy seat. So often earthquakes make my mountain tremble, yet the
throne of grace stands firm. Never let me forget to pray today, nor let me doubt
the success of my prayer.
Psa. 30:10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
This is a short and comprehensive plea, available at any time in any place.
Let me use it often. Be thou my helper, is a compact and expressive petition. It fits
my every experience, because when you help, difficulties vanish!
Psa. 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
You can take away my depression and give me dancing instead. You bestow
not just quietness and peace, but so much more. You make my heart leap at the
sound of your name. You remove my sackcloth, and that is great, but then you
clothe me with royal garments, designed for a festival of glorious gladness.
Eph. 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fulness of God.
You gave me full forgiveness. You have given me present freedom from
bondage. You are giving me a progressive sanctification. You promise me
complete glorification. You have filled me with all your fullness in Christ. Now
let me glorify you by my life. I owe you all, so I should give you everything.
Teach me to rely on your strength as my helper. Let me retreat to you to find
strength in that refuge. I thank you Lord, because you are the one who makes me
glad. In Jesus name I give you my praise. Amen and Amen!
 HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:30 & 11:00A.M.
HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH
HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE
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.
QUALITY CHRISTIANITY INVOLVES THREE THINGS
Keeping Christ at the center (your core relationship of worship to God)
Keeping the body of Christ a priority (your congregational relationship of
walking with us)
Basing beliefs and actions on the mind of Christ (your church relationship in
the Word)

PRAYER DIARY
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
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
