HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.

MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 4-6; Luke 7:1-25
Monday, April 6
Matt. 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
Righteous Lord and Living God:
There is no work like trying to work for your own salvation. There is
nothing harder than trying to earn my way to heaven. Thank you for leading me
to the ultimate rest in Jesus. Give me a voice today to draw others to the cross
and the finished work of Christ!
Nothing can be freer than a gift. I pray for someone today to accept gladly
what you have to give, because what you have to give them is so great. They
cannot buy it. They are not allowed to borrow it. But by faith they may freely
receive it. Let __________ and __________ put their trust in you right now.
Lord, how many people do I see (and I work with!) who labor under the
lash of personal ambition? They toil under the care of covetousness. They work
overtime for lust. They always seek more, trying to relieve their anxiety. Send me
with the gospel message to set them free of that iron bondage and give them rest.
They are laden. Yes, heavy laden with sin, heavy laden with fear, heavy
laden with remorse, heaven laden with wearinessfeeling trapped and
imprisoned by work, by life, by fear of death. Make them come to you, for you
will unload them. If you carried the crushing mass of my sin, and became my
great burden-bearer, then I can escape this pressure by giving all my cares back to
you. I do that when I give-up my control, and give control of my life over to you.
1 Pet. 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Jesus gives rest. I put that to the test today. I end every false hope in order
to think of him, believe Gods testimony, and trust everything to Christ. And for
this you will give me a rest that deepens into heaven. Thank you, Lord! Amen.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 13-15; Luke 8:29-56
Thursday, April 9
Luke 19:5-6,9-10 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him,
and said unto him, Zacchus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy
house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And Jesus said unto him,
This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the
Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

IVE been changed, healed, freed, delivered

Ive found joy, peace, grace, and favor
All my shame, guilt, sins, theyve been forgiven
No more chains, fear, my past is over
And right now is the moment
Today is the day Ive been changed
I have waited for this moment to come
And I wont let it pass me by...
I wont go back, cant go back, to the way it used to be
Before Your presence came and changed me
I wont go back, I cant go back, to the way it used to be
Before Your presence came and changed me
William McDowell

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS LIFE

Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 7-9; Luke 7:26-50
Tuesday, April 7
John 13:1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was
come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in
the world, he loved them unto the end.
Loving God and Gracious Lord:
What a fact for my faith to claim! What you were and arewhat you were
to those you lived with on earthyou will be to me, and to all your children
today. But here is another wonder: it says, having loved. That you should ever
have loved us at all is a marvel. What was there in your poor apostles that made
you love them? But then, what is there in me? What is there in me?
Lord I thank you, because once you started begun loving it is in your nature
to continue. Love made me his own. What a title! You purchased me with your
blood and I became your personal treasure.

Being your own, you will not lose me

Being your beloved, you will not stop loving me

And you did it Lord, to the end. Even as your life dropped bloody sweat
and dripped-out at the cross, you loved. That ruling passion reigned in your heart
until its last beat.
That also means you will love me to the uttermost. You could not love me
more than to love me to your last breath. Having loved me to your last breath,
you will love me to perfection. Your love will bring me all the way to completion
in the image of Christ. Truly, you lavish perfect love on me! There is no unwisdom or unfaithfulness in your actions toward me, because there is
neither fault nor flaw in your loveand no reservation.
Such is the love of Jesus to each one of his children. Let me sing to my
Well-beloved my praises! Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 16-18; Luke 9:1-31
Friday, April 10

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 10-12; Luke 8:1-28
Wednesday, April 8
Zech. 3:1 And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the
LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Dear Angel of the Covenant:
Help me see myself in my Joshua. I am made nigh by the blood of Jesus.
You are teaching me now at this church how to minister in spiritual things. And
through ministry I can enter into that which is within the veil (Heb. 6:19). Jesus makes
me a king and priest unto God. Even on this planet I am to exercise the
priesthood of a life consecrated to you, and set apart for your plan.
I am Joshua, standing in order to minister, and having done all to stand
(Eph. 6:13). Jesus is right now sitting, enabling me by his prayers to keep standing.
Make that my true position. Every place is now your temple. I can as truly serve
you at work, and at home, as in ministry involvements in church.
Make me always ministering, offering the spiritual incense of prayer, and
the sacrifice of praise. Right now I present myself a living sacrifice, a morning
offering for this day. I stand to minister before the angel of the Lord. It is only
through his mediation that my poor, defiled life can ever attain to priestly activity.
I present what I have before you today, you who are the messenger of the
covenant, Lord Jesus. Through you my prayers find acceptance as they are
wrapped within your own intercessions.
If I can bring you nothing but my tears, you will add them to your own in a
bottle (Ps. 56:8). If I can bring you nothing but my groans and sighs for the
people and children I want to see saved, you see these as an acceptable sacrifice.
Standing in the beloved, I am accepted in you, and all my polluted good works
are received as a sweet savor. Make me content in your blessing, and let me do
even more of this spiritual work through prayer! I ask this for Jesus sake. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: 1Samuel 19-21; Luke 9:32-62
Saturday, April 11

Rom. 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Psa. 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy
right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Lord of Life:
There must be confession in order to be possession. No mere mental
assent will be accepted.
Help us confess you also before others, and say Jesus is Lord of our lives!
There must be belief in order for the heart to be engaged. We are not
motivated to do things we have no emotional attachment to. Help us act like we
should act, so we can begin feeling what we should feel! If you raised Jesus up
from the dead, it is no great miracle for you to raise-up the dormant emotions of
our church, and make us faithful and eager in ministry.
If we have truly and sincerely both confessed and believed, we are saved
saved from sin and self. As believers we are saved from hell; as confessors we are
saved from the world. We are saved spiritually and set apart materially. We can
then plead this verse before the altar, throughout our life, and at the judgment
seat of Christ. Thats because we are saved from the guilt of sin, from the
chastisement of carnality, and from the shame of being distracted from the
mission.
Lord, deliver us today even as you saved us in the past, and preserve us for
the future. Lord, use us to take the tale of everlasting and eternal salvation to
others. Lord, let many people be added to your kingdom this Sunday through our
praise and our worship services! Make the preaching practical with power.
Rom. 10:10,13 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.

Eternal God in Everlasting Light:

How I long for that day when my sorrows are stopped. This world of
weeping has to soon be over. It seems like the more time passes, the more life
becomes a valley of tears.
One day our expanding universe will collapse, and out of that catastrophe
will come a new cosmos (so says the first verse of Rev. 21). If this earth is
scrapped and we get a new one, there will be nothing left to weep over. No Fall.
No curse. No consequent miseries. Just a bride and her marriage (Rev. 21:2).
The Lambs wedding will not be a time for sorrow. Tears of sadness would
be out of place on the part of your bride, the church. The third verse says God
himself will live with people. Tears can no longer flow, because
Rev. 21:4 God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are
passed away.
What will it be like when sorrow is eliminated? No more crying because no
more pain. It is beyond my imagination, because right now it seems my eyes
never stop being red from crying over something. No one can wipe away tears
like the God of love can! He tells me in advance,
Psa. 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may
endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Tarry not another day when I must weep.
Return for your bride that you love. In the mean time, weeping may endure, but
make me endure even through weeping. Do it now for Jesus sake. Amen.

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

Dont make excuses; make a difference!
