1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Matt. 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you:

Ezra 9:6 O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for
our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

O Lord, My Father:
Let me put myself in the seat of my lost friend _________. All I have to do
is consider who I was, and what I feel like, even now, when temptation has power
over me, and I marvel at your salvation. I am called the son of God! Lord, help me
be used of your Spirit to bring __________ into that same relationship.
What a privileged relationship to be a son. What care and tenderness I can
expect from my Father. All thatand more than thatI have a right to expect
through the grace that is in Jesus Christ.
There is one temporary drawback: suffering. But suffering simply brings me
into sympathy and conformity with Jesus, my elder brother. Lord, help me accept
it as an honor, and count it all joy when I can be buked and rebuked with him,
no matter what direction it comes from. I am content to be unknown with him in
his humiliation, because I know I will be exalted with him in his kingdom!
Right now I am a son of God. That is easy to read but sometimes hard for
me to feel. How is it with other hearts today? Can I go out and find someone in
sorrow to share the good news with? Corruption so often rises inside my flesh.
Grace often seems like a spark trampled underfoot. My faith almost fails so many
times. I thank you I can fear not, because it is neither on my own graces nor in
my own feelings that I rely. I simply live by the life of Christ.
With all these things against me, nowas much in the valley as on the
mountaintopI am a son of the living God. Help me lead others to the same
adoption in Christ. My righteousness does not shine as it should, but when He
shall appear, I shall be like him. Hasten that day, for Jesus sake! Amen.

Heavenly Father and Glorious Lord:

Let me pray about prayer. Nothing pays like prevailing prayer. If I have power
in prayer, I will have everything at my beck and call. I can ask for whatever I need to
complete your mission.
Lord, I ask for what Adam lost by the fall, and what I have lost by my own
neglect, backsliding, and lack of prayer.
Lord, I seek for the grace I need in this week before Thanksgiving.
Lord, when I seem to be cut off from blessing, from knowledge I need, even
from hope itself, then I knock.
Lord, I plead: you have promised your own intervention. I can receive when I
ask. I can find when I seek. But I cannot open when I knock. Only you can, or else I
am shut-out forever.
I thank you Lord, that ever since the death of Jesus there is no cherub with a
fiery sword guarding this gate and driving me away (Gen. 3:24). Indeed and on the
contrary, Jesus himself opens to me and no one can shut (Rev. 3:8).
Sometimes I fear my failures bar the way. My own lack of faith fastens the door
from the inside. But it is not so in spiritual reality. The gate is neither bolted nor
barred. It is only closed in one sense, if I keep my mouth shut and do not pray. In
actuality, the veil has been torn in two.
Can all receive this teaching? Will I believe you are glad to open the gate to
my knocking cries? How else can I complete the mission? Your blessing is only
closed in my perception, but not in matter of fact. Give me and my brothers and
sisters the courage to enter in to all Jesus has and is! Amen.

O Lord, My Father:
You are in heaven, but I am still here on earth. My being is but yesterday,
and my foundation is in the dust. It is only in you I have any purpose, and live
and move and have my being. If you withhold your breath I die.
I mourn before you Lord, because of my pride and vanity of mind, the
aggression of my arrogance, my earthly-mindedness and love of this world. For
my sensuality and indulgence of my flesh, my carnal security and unthankfulness
under a cloudburst of plenteous mercies. For my fretfulness and impatience, and
my sinful defection in times of trial. I confess my neglect of spiritual disciplines
and lack of love to you, my unbelief and hardness of heart, my slothfulness and
decay in spirituality. I confess the dishonors I have brought to your name, and all
my mistakes toward my fellow creatures. How often have they been repeated
both before I knew you savingly, and even since. I committed them against much
light and I have sinned against much love. After many rebukes, both through the
Bible and through your providence, and after many comforts from the gospel and
the Spirit of God, I have nevertheless done all these things, and say with old Job,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my
mouth.
Lam 3:29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
I put my face on the floor to worship and plead for forgiveness, trusting
fully in the merits of Jesus Christ my Lord. Mercy must start here. Spiritual power
and life more abundant begin at that spot. Make Jesus more and more to me.
Make him my all in all, and give me revival in result. Amen.

Chronological Bible Reading: Ezekiel 25-27; 1Peter 4
Saturday, November 21

Gen. 39:3-4 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord
made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight,

LORD I give You all the glory for all Youve given me
You have filled my life until I overflow
All I have is Yours to use, just anyway You choose
You are Lord of all, so how can I say no. So I say...
Yes, Lord, yes, to Your will and to Your way
Yes, Lord, yes, I will trust You and obey
When Your Spirit speaks to me, with my whole heart Ill agree
And my answer will be yes, Lord, yes!
If I never knew the fullness of living in Your will
You see, I would never know how rich my life could be
Lord, my willingness to serve, is the least that You deserve
For all the blessings you have showered over me. And I say...
Yes, Lord, yes, to Your will and to Your way
Yes, Lord, yes, I will trust You and obey
When Your Spirit speaks to me, with my whole heart Ill agree...
And my answer will be yes, my answer will be yes
My answer will be yes, Lord, yes!

Joshua 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn
of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the
land of Canaan that year.
Guiding God and Gracious Redeemer:
The Promised Land was possessed. No more camping out, no more
moving tents, no more fiery serpents or fierce Amalekites in a howling
wilderness. They came to live in a land dripping milk and oozing honey.
Lord, make it so to our church and our children! Make each of our services
flow with the milk and honey of souls saved! Help us give honey to the lost, so
their eyes will be enlightened and their blindness to the gospel removed! Let us
give the milk of the word of God to our precious childrenboth those who are
our physical children, and others who are children in the faith. The possibility is
both joyful and awe-inspiring!
Make our faith an active exercise to yield a sure reward. Our unbelief
shudders at Jordans watersobstacles that stand in between. Help us, with Jesus
the Captain of the Lords host, to banish every fearful thought, and let us rejoice
with exceeding great joy in the prospects of the coming holiday season. Let it be
the earnest prayer of every ministry head, deacon, leader and teacher that we
would see souls saved. We rest in your love; so we reach out. We have perfect
peace in Jesus; so let others. We have pardon and forgiveness; so let the lost. This
is not denied any sinner who will simply come to Christ and enter into that rest.
Help us Lord to gather eternal fruit (the souls of people) on earthly ground.
We are well-watered at this church! Give us great buckets of water of life for
others, and rain down on us in revival. We have no need of angels food yet. Give
us the grace of Jesus Christ to feed on, for we ask it in his precious name. Amen.

Psa. 73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
Holy Lord and Glorious God:
You are good all the time, and nothing else but good to me. You cannot act
unjustly or ever be unkind. Your goodness is beyond successful contradiction and
without compromise.
This is a firm anchor when I am troubled, when storms arise from things I
dont understand. Whatever may or may not be the truths about these events,
there are certainties in your hand. They may not be within my grasp, but you hold
them, and I cling to you. That keeps me from being carried away by hurricanes of
confusion.
Lord no matter how confused I am, let me never think badly of you! No
Jesus, if I cannot understand you, still let me never doubt you. You are good
to those whom you have made good in Christ, and have renewed their heart.
Psa. 73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
There is a great battle in my soul, because while all the time you are good, I
must confess my sin. Can I expect a share of your grace? Yes, I do share it, but I
often do not act like someone who has received it.
If I see only the present and forget the future, I soon grow envious and
discontent. Errors of heart soon affect my conduct. When I doubt your
righteousness, my own integrity begins to waver. Strengthen me in the inner
man. Wisdom is expensive, but if I buy it I no longer have to fret over anything.
You show me what the end will be. Simply make me more fit for eternity. This is
the prize, the goal, and my desire. Give me grace for growth! Sink my soul deeper
into you. Make me cling tighter onto you. Help me climb higher up for you. Do it
all for your own glory and praise. Amen.

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.

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.

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)

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 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

Dont make excuses; make a difference!
