SBC JULY PRAYER & FASTING - JULY 3

Greetings,

"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."  Isaiah 6:1

What a Divine moment!

Have you had a Divine moment recently? Has your church experienced one?
Last year, Steve Gaines shared that during one of their Sunday services at Bellevue Baptist in Memphis, God came into the service in a powerful way. Steve said, “God just took over. Only twice in my ministry have I experienced something like that.”

Great movements of God come through prayer and fasting. God is sovereign and can do anything He wants, whenever He wants. He is not bound by our scheduled services or even by our calls for prayer and fasting. Yet, historical records reveal that whenever God was preparing to move in a Divine way, He first set His people to pray.

Our world is in chaos. Our cities and streets in the U.S. are filled with anarchy and evil. The Church languishes, desperate for Divine help. As the Church goes, so goes the nation, brethren! We need a Divine moment in our personal lives and in our churches—a Divine outpouring of God’s power and Presence that clearly reveals Who He is.

Many of the saints have observed that one of the great sins of the modern Church is this: “We don't know Who God is.” A Divine visitation and revelation can change that. May our prayer echo the words of the Apostle Paul: “Oh, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection.”

Isaiah saw the Lord in all His glory. Such a Divine vision puts the evils and wrongs of this world into proper perspective. Gazing upon and adoring the Lord God can change a pastor, a church, and our influence on our communities, families, and friends. Let us seek the Lord. Let us “be still and know that He is God.” Give time and space to be alone with Him. May your priority during these days of prayer and fasting echo Andrew Murray’s plea: “Be much alone with God.”

Seek the Lord that He may be found—in your life, your church, and across the SBC.

Do you think Isaiah went back to “normal” after seeing that holy vision of God? I do not believe that anyone returns to a normal life after a Divine visitation. I have spoken with people who have experienced great moves of God and asked each of them the same question—unaware of one another’s responses.  Such men were mostly those that had gone through a season of revival. Men like Henry Blackaby, Ralph Sutera, Dennis Kinlaw and Wesley Duewel. 

I asked, “After you have experienced such a Divine moment—such a time of His manifest Presence—how do you come down from that extraordinary encounter?”
They all answered the same: “It is always with an expectation for God to do it again.”

Let that be our prayer of agreement: “Do it again, Lord. Do it again.”

You are invited to join us on the 1st Thursday of each month for a day of prayer and fasting.
Invite others to join in this holy pursuit—that God might come and send revival upon His Church and spiritual awakening among the lost in our nation and world.

Set aside the day on your calendar. Dedicate specific time and space to seek the Lord—for yourself, your association, your state convention, and across all of SBC life.

QUESTIONS REGARDING 100 HOURS OF PRAYER FOR SBC

 Greetings, Those that have joined us and participated in these protracted prayer meetings, are understanding of what this call to prayer is and how it works. But there are those that we are inviting and they have many questions as to how all this works. Here is a lists of questions to help you understand better what the "100 Hours of Prayer for SBC" is all about: What is it? - It is a continual prayer time, lasting 100 hours straight. Starting at Monday, October 7 at 8 AM (EST) and going through till Friday, Noon (EST) to finish. How is it set up? - During these 100 straight hours, it is set up in 15 minute increments. This creates 400 time slots to be filled to cover all 100 hours with someone praying.  Why? This is created as a catalyst to prompt a continued spirit of prayer for SBC life. Our great need in all of SBC life is for the fulness and power of God's Spirit to do His kingdom's work. We need God! And prevailing prayer receives the blessing of God and help...

#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...

CONTINUE IN PRAYER #2 Invite Letter for 100 Hours of Prayer for SBC

 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 ...
