2 Sam. 5:23 And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up;
but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

Matt. 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they
asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

Rom. 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Captain of the Host:

David fought the Philistines and won a great victory. They came with their
hoards from their lands, but David had his help from God. But when they came
back for round two, David did not go out again without going first to prayer.
How can I witness without prayer? How can I lead others to Christ today
unless I start out where Christ is? Sometimes I am successful with my testimony,
but I still need to tarry a minute, inquire of the Lord, and ask you to bless my
witness to __________ and to __________.
Prov. 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge [God], and he shall direct thy paths.
Direct me today to someone who is seeking you! Do it Lord, because I
cannot go to battle except it be by your strength. It is a spiritual war I am in, so it
requires spiritual weapons. I need the assistance of your fellowship to be
2 Cor. 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ;
Help me, like David, to wait to move until your sign is given, and learn
to take no step without walking in the Spirit. Sometimes I may need to lead them
by a circuitous route to the cross. Guide me; I give you the rudder of my life. I
want your will to be my choice always, because whenever I try to carve-out my
own path I always cut my fingers. If I do not watch for your providence to lead
me, I mar many relationships. If you are waiting, let me patiently tarry with you.
And if you are moving, let me not be afraid to boldly go forth. Instruct me and
teach me in the way to reach others, for Jesus sake and glory. Amen.

Merciful Lord and Father:

A star is placed in the margin by that opening word, behold. It is a note of
exclamation that draws-in my attention. In our church we might want to say,
Behold, there was a politician in our services today. Behold there was a sports
hero. Behold there was a rich executive. Behold there was a star entertainer. Yet
in the synagogue there was a poor man of whom the Holy Spirit took notice, and
you splash the word behold as a signal.
Lord, I am a needy soul today wanting all of the Savior. I come to you with
a spiritually withered handthere are so many good things I want to do, and so
many ways Ive failed. Put a behold in my day today! Restore me by your power
to what you originally created me to be.
What you want to find today is someone on whom to do a work of grace.
Thats me! I am somebody you can heal, and so defy the traditional science of all
the skeptics who say its not legal.
You are a physician; take note of my sickness so you can demonstrate your
healing power. Fix your eye on my pain, my necessity, my incapacity, my
sinfulness, and on everything else in me you can cure. What you want is a chance
to do me good, not a pretense on my part that I can do you any good!
As I come in prayer to worship, give me more than I knelt here for. I am
praying, because I love your presence and I am happy to be in communion with
you. But still I have a yearning to have my old life fixed-up. Today, put a red
letter on my calendar in love, and make my withered hand strong in your service.
Do it to glorify yourself alone, for I ask it in the same of Jesus. Amen.

My God of Hope:
The only way for me to be happy and holy within myself is to have a
manifestation of your Spirits power. The only way I can invade the territory of
the enemy and conquer souls for Christ is if I am clothed with that same energy.
The power I have for external ministry will be proportionate to my
acknowledgement of the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within me.
In order to gauge the energy of the Holy Spirit in my heart, all I have to do
is measure my influence on unbelievers. The work outward is always dependent
on the force inward. If there is a warmth inside, there will be a melting of hearts
outside. But if my souls strength is not sustained by private prayer and
communion with you, the dryness in me will leave the drought in others
untouched.
Lord, as we enter this fall, bless us as a church. Lord, cause your face to
shine on us as a congregation. Then Harvest can make your way known upon the
earth, and your saving health among all nations (Psa. 67:2)!
Let me adore you while I am praying, and pray for the SEVEN WORKS OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT necessary for revival, which are:
1. Quickening
All spiritual life that exists in the world is a creation of the Holy Ghost
alone (Gen 1:2b). I did not even have enough life to recognize death until you
visited me! I will not want more life, or groan after more revival, except as your
Spirit works within me to desire and agonize for it. Give us sweet agony in a
wrestling for revival today, for this will glorify Jesus. Amen.

1 Kings 9:2-3 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had

supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built,
to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING

Chronological Bible Reading: Isaiah 16-18; Colossians 4
Thursday, October 1

Gen. 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called
any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

NEVER be sad or desponding, if thou hast faith to believe.

Grace, for the duties before thee, ask of thy God and receive.
What if thy burdens oppress thee; what though thy life may be drear;
Look on the side that is brightest; pray, and thy path will be clear.
Never be sad or desponding, there is a morrow for thee;
Soon thou shalt dwell in its brightness, there with the Lord thou shalt be.
Never be sad or desponding, lean on the arm of thy Lord;
Dwell in the depths of His mercy, thou shalt receive thy reward.
Never give up, never give up,
Never give up to thy sorrows, Jesus will bid them depart.
Trust in the Lord, trust in the Lord,
Sing when your trials are greatest, trust in the Lord and take heart.
Fanny Crosby, 1903

Dear Lord and Heavenly Father:

No matter what our level of spiritual maturity, we still need renewed
appearances, fresh manifestations, and new visitations from you. We need to walk
with you, but we also need your walk with us as we live your Eternal Purpose.
And while we thank you for the past, and look back with joy to your presence in
previous days, Lord we seek a special visitation of your Spirit right now.
Daily we desire to walk in the light of your countenance, but even though
the ocean has high tides twice a day, it also has leap tides. So though we seek to
walk with you constantly, give us revival and bring us a special season where you
open your very heart to us! Manifest yourself beyond what you do to the world,
and even beyond what you do at all times to believers.
Not every day are we in the temple. Not every day is a banqueting day and
high feast. But give us special days ahead, glorious and clear, where you unveil
your glory in our midst. Come to us again in the fullness of your favor.
We seek your second appearances, Lord. We cry to you most fervently to
speak a second time. We do not need to get saved again, but we need to have the
windows of heaven opened anew over our heads. We need the Holy Spirit in
special anointing and power.
What you spoke to Solomon concerned his prayer, and as you answered his
prayer in a second appearance, so also appear to us now! Renew our strength in
service to you. We ask it for Jesus sake and on his merit alone. Amen.

O Gracious Lord:
You deserve my confidence, so I want you to have all of it. Every day, help
me guard against any distrust of you or any reliance on myself. Every hour I
need to place my faith in your faithfulness.
Not only must I rest on you like a person who stands on a rock; I must
trust in you like a person who hides in a cave. And my trust will be made more
solid the more intimate I am with you.
I may be weak, but I am in a strong place! My security rests in the strength
of the tower in which I hide, and not in any other man or woman. My weakness
does not work against me as long as it makes me lean more fully on you.
The drawbridge is up and the bars are in place, and there is a secret door by
which I can enter into your throne as often as I want , because I can always pray!
You are as accessible as you are strong on my behalf.
Psa. 71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast
given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Are you a strong refuge? You are MY strong refuge. You are MY rock, MY
fortress, MY God (v 4), MY hope, MY trust (v 5), MY praise (v 6). If I am
strong, it is in you. If I am safe, it is because you shelter me. If I am calm and at
peace, it is because my soul has found its resting place of security in you alone.
Psa. 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
When I cannot rejoice in what I have, I will look forward to what will be
mine, and rejoice in the future blessing. Though Hell itself stands in my way,
Psa. 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy
righteousness, even of thine only.

HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH

HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE

THIS WEEKS EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

1)

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.
2)

TITHEWORK

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.

PRAYER DIARY DAILY ORDERS

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.

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)

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
