100 HOURS OF PRAYER - CONTINUE IN PRAYER

 Greetings,

"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;" Colossians 4;2

We are just under one month away from our "100 Hours of Prayer for SBC". We are set to gather as many from SBC life to have a continual spirit of prayer for the work of God to be done in us and through us. The work of God does not come about by the means of men, but by prevailing prayer. Oh, that every SBC church, over 40,000 were to be powerhouses of prayer for the kingdom of God. Truly such a spirit of prayer would enrich the church to accomplish much of the kingdoms business around the world. Have you ever pondered that all of God's work, in and by the church, has come about when God sets His people to pray. Such prayer is seeking His face, calling upon His Name, and waiting and being still to know, in our minds and hearts, that He is God. 

SBC life survives and flourishes by a spirit of prayer that prevails. But the church retreats and sinks into self and sin, when the prayers have grown cold. There has been a great flourish of baptisms and encouragement across the church in North America because "the wind of the Spirit is blowing in the mulberry trees".  Let us continue in prayer that God continues to move and work powerfully and wonderfully among every SBC fabric. Let us set before Him, the petitions and supplications for a lost world. A harvest that is ripe, but few laborers; and pray as He instructed us: "Pray for the laborers to be raised up and sent forth". There are far too many pulpits and churches without pastors and shortage of those being called in to the ministry. Let us set this before Him, that He would move mightily to raise up Divine called and chosen men to preach the Word of God, in season and out of season.  Let us pray one for another, as there is much evil and God's judgement upon our land, cities, homes and loved ones. I ask you, what are you praying for? what are you praying against?

You are only being asked to sign up for 15 minutes during the week of October 7 - 11. During this 15 minutes of prayer, pray as you are led of God. Those that are seasoned in prayer, you know what to bring before the Lord. But if you are not sure, or not used to praying specifically for the SBC, we set before you a consideration:
15 Minutes of Prayer:
1. first 5 minutes just worship the Lord; declaring His Names and the power that they are, His attributes and all of His glory that they resonate.  Use verses and specific Names and attributes that are all of that which God has given us and revealed about Who He is to us.

2.  use the next 5 minutes to specifically confess the sins of God's church and our own hearts; Wherein do we come short of His glory? Isaiah saw the glory of God and cried out, "Woe is me, for I am undone, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips." Headlines reveal the perversion in churches and the pulpits, let us cry out to God for our uncleanness. Confess the sins of disobedience, James 4:17; sin of prayerlessness; sins of silence; sins of neglect; anything in our lives that is unholy and tainted with flesh over Spirit, with earth over heaven, with temporal over eternal purposes. 

3. last remaining 5 minutes, cover the SBC life as He leads. Over 40 state conventions, over 1000 associations, over 40,000 churches, 6 seminaries and other baptist schools, IMB, NAMB and other entities to be brought before the Lord for His glory and honor. Pray for the pulpits, pray for the pews, PRAY!

Thank you to those that have already signed up. Help promote others to join us from SBC life. Get ready for our time of continued prayers.

The google sign up sheet is below, mark your name in the day and time slot. May we see the Lord honor the prayers of the saints as it is continually brought before His most Holy throne. Let us pray in agreement, "Thy kingdom come, and Thy will be done, here on earth, as it is in heaven." He is worthy!

100 HOURS OF PRAYER - DEC. 2023

  Greetings, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" Acts 9:6 "And He said unto her, What wilt Thou?" Matthew 20:21 "And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?" Matthew 20:32 "When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?" John 5:6 In the book of Acts, Saul has been confronted by the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus. Upon hearing Who is speaking to him, Saul seeks instructions from the Lord, "What would You have me do?" How often Saul, later his name turned to Paul, would ask that same question before the Lord, 'Lord, where would You have me go? To whom would You have me speak? what would you have me do?' A surrendered Christian is always seeking to be obedient in all things of our spiritual walk. We too, will be found asking this same question, that we may be found in His will and ways. Perhaps, it w

100 HOURS OF PRAYER - DEC. 28 - JAN 1

 Greetings, "I know thy works" Revelation 2:2 Christ declares to each of the 7 churches in Revelation 2 & 3, 'I know thy works.' God is Omniscient and Omnipresent, He sees, hears and knows not only what we do, but why we do it. Now we approach the end of the year and it is healthy to consider what our works have been. What did you do for the cause of Christ? What did you do to enlarge His kingdom? What did you do for your purposes, for your sake? What sins were allowed and practiced? Each of these are to be dealt with thoroughly in our prayer closets before Him. With each crying out, I pray, with great desire, 'More works done for Thee, Lord in the new year and the close of this year.' The works of men, I care not to mention or deal with too much. but the works of our spiritual discipline is always it seems on my mind. "Am I growing? am I faithful? am I serving? is He being glorified?" How many of our church members have already completed their b

100 Hours of Prayer for SBC - 20024

 Greetings, "And David said, What have I now done?  Is there not a cause?"  I Samuel 17:29 David had heard the words of Goliath. He had heard him defy the armies of Israel, and blaspheme the Name of his God. A holy anger welled up in him to do something about it. All the others, including his own brothers, feared and fainted before Goliath. But David contended with those of the army soldiers of Israel, and his own brothers that something must be done against this uncircumcised Philistine. David asked two questions: 1. "What have I now done?" 2. "Is there not a cause?" Set before you now are these same two questions. I ask of you the same questions in light of our current status. "Evil has come in like a flood" (Isaiah 59) upon our land, our cities, our families, minds and hearts of men and women, and even within the churches. God declares in Isaiah 59, that when evil does come in like a flood, that He raises up a standard against this evil. There
