BROKEN & CONTRITE #3 Invite Letter for 100 Hours of Prayer for SBC

 Greetings,
"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, Whose Name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a brokena nd a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise." Psalm 51:17

"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." Psalm 34:18

We are under 3 weeks, October 7 - 11, before our time of "100 HOURS OF PRAYER FOR SBC". Thanking God for those that have been moved to join us for this needed time to pray. Why do we need this time? Because we need God! We continue to see our nation sinking into an evil abyss. We continue to see far to many souls lost and perishing. Even though there is a season of refreshing among many churches with increased baptisms, the majority of churches are still without the power and Presence of the Holy Spirit. Headlines are filled with evil happenings. Stats continue to set historic records. Prayer changes these things; not just praying, for many have been praying for decades to see God move powerfully and wonderfully. It is the spirit of prevailing prayer. 

That type of prayer comes from protracted, fervent, urgent prayers from those that know the emergency of this hour. This emergency is upon our nation, cities, homes, churches and future. The two terms above in our opening Scriptures are the driving fervency in such prayer, brokenness and contiriton. A spirit of prayer filled with tears of brokenness, anguish, woe, awe and desire. Cries of contrition over all the moments of "coming short of His glory", of those that continue in sin and contrition for churches and nation that has forsaken Him. They are broken and contrite over the One Who holds all things for His will, glory and purposes. Do you see brokenness and contiriton in those new in the faith, coming for His great salvation? Do you see brokenness and contrition in your prayer meetings? 

I see brokenness in the funeral homes, in the ICU rooms of hospitals; I see in the living rooms and kitchens, brokenness of parents whose children have sunk themselves into great sin. I see brokenness and contrition after what they have sown and is now being reaped. Are we so prone to always be broken and contrite after catsophre and calamities? Let us intercede in prayer for those that are not broken and contrite. Let us be broken and contrite, because the Lord is near and receives them that are. And if we don't know what that is or what that looks like, then let us ask of the Lord, "teach us how to pray rightly". 

We live in a broken world, filled with broken homes, broken hearts, broken lives, broken systems, and broken marriages and relationships. There is a God Who is able to mend, to deliver, to fix, to help and to make right this brokenness. In God all things are right; without God, nothing is right. The prayer meeting is where we find God's rightness. Many churches and Christians have forsaken prayer times and prayer meetings. The protracted prayer meetings are hard things to find. This 100 hours of prayer is a protracted prayer meeting requiring SBC to participate. All are invited to sign up and join us in their respective times that we may come before Him, broken and contrite for this great hour of need.

Thank you again to those that have joined and signed up. One hundred hours requires 400 individuals and groups to fill these time slots of 15 minute increments. If you have signed up, pass along to another SBC member and ask them to join us. If you have not signed up, the google document is below here. Also is a blog posts defining and answering some of the questions as to who, what, how and why. Thank you again for your attention to this. Let us pray so as to prevail!



Until,

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

#1 Invite Letter for 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
