MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 10-12; Mark 15:24-47
Monday, March 20
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in
and out, and find pasture.
Jesus, the Great I AM:
You are paid admission into eternal life, and the only way to access God
himself. I plead these four promises for __________ and __________, because
they are, until now, unsaved.
1.That they will be born again
Let them enter the city of refuge and be safe. Help them board the Ark
and be secure. I want to explain to them how no one can be lost who takes Jesus
Christ as the door of salvation in his or her own soul. They can enter by Jesus
into peace. He is the only door, but an open doora wide door and a safe door.
Let them rest their hope for entrance into heaven on Jesus, the only way.
2. That they will go in
They, too, can be adopted into Gods family, share the childrens food, and
take part in all the honor and enjoyment of the only begotten Son. Let us go
ininto bedrooms of intimate communion, into buffets of love, into treasures
of the covenant, and into storehouses of the promises. Let us go in to the
throne of grace in the boldness of the Holy Spirit!
3. That they will go out
Then let us go out into the world to serve and suffer in the name and
power of Jesus! This is a blessing much forgotten: fellowship follows on the
heels of ministry. Make me your messenger and co-laborer with others!
4. That they will find pasture
All our needs are met in your Son. In fellowship we grow, and in serving
others we are satisfied. Help me direct them to the wellspring of the gospel.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 19-21, Luke 1:21-40
Thursday, March 23
Josh. 10:12,14 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up
the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still
upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. ...And there was no day like that before
it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
WEVE a story to tell to the nations, that shall turn their hearts to the right,
A story of truth and mercy, a story of peace and light,
A story of peace and light.
Weve a message to give to the nations, that the Lord who reigns up above
Has sent us His Son to save us, and show us that God is love,
And show us that God is love.
Weve a Savior to show to the nations, who the path of sorrow has trod,
That all of the worlds great peoples might come to the truth of God,
Might come to the truth of God.
For the darkness shall turn to dawning, and the dawning to noonday bright;
And Christs great kingdom shall come on earth, the kingdom of love and light.
H. Ernest Nichol, 1896

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS CROSS
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 13-15; Mark 16
Tuesday, March 21
John 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
I Thank You, Holy One:
The ship of the church has never paused in your purpose because of
persecution, affliction, or death. In looking back at her history, those were rough
winds that only served to fill her sails. Help me recognize, no progress is more
certain in my life than that which comes through suffering and the cross.
Matt. 27:30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
I Thank You, Heavenly Redeemer:
You traveled a rugged path of suffering with heaving heart and heavy
footsteps. But in taking that path you paved a royal road of mercy for all your
enemies to follow in repentance.
Mark 15:20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and
put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
I Thank You, Masterful Sufferer:
Your crown was not made of straw but thorns, producing pain as well as
picturing scorn. Your scepter was a reed, used by the guards to pummel your
brow, used for blows that were as cruel as they were insulting. And after they
mocked you, they ripped off the purple robe that staunched the wounds on your
back. Matted and then dried, this caused the furrows drawn by the scourges lash
to flow afresh with a crimson tide. Crimson and purple.
Different clothing raises doubt about the identity of a p;erson, but the
people saw you in the street in your own clothes, confirming you were really
crucified, and no one was substituted for you. You carried your own cross as
long as you could, proclaiming your guilt (falsely so), and intimating your doom.
Condemned to die so I might live. My Lord! My God. I thank you. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 22-24; Luke 1:41-60
Friday, March 24
Isa. 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Infinite God, All High and Glorious:
We are toiling and boiling, stressed and distressed. The thought of your
perfect peace comforts us. Your purpose causes you no worries. You are not
frustrated by failure, because your power is unlimited and your goodness is not
undeveloped. Bring order out of our confusion and turn our defeats into your
victories. We sow in tears, but you promise to let us reap in joy. Establish your
kingdom in the hearts of others through useven through our failures.
We come to your throne carrying a body of sin and death. Consequently we
often carry much of sin, much of worry, and much of sorrow. We want to be
unburdened at your mercy seat right now. As for our cares, we are ashamed we
even have them, seeing how you care for us! We trusted you ever since when we
got saved; your love is not a matter of question. We therefore leave every
concern we have for our family or ourselves, for our business or our health,
entirely with you.
As for our sin, we bless you Lord for a sight of the precious blood of Jesus,
because when you see it your wrath passes over us! No angel of justice can strike
where the blood of your Son is sprinkled. Give us a sight of the blood too, so we
can rest knowing you have put away forever our guilt because we believe.
Lord, help us stand before you today, entering into your rest even as we
enter into your presence. May this be a day when the peace of God that passes all
understanding keeps our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. We ask it for his
names sake. Amen.
WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Joshua 16-18; Luke 1:1-20
Wednesday, March 22
Isa. 65:23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the
seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
Holy Lord and Redeemer:
People are dying, the church is sleeping, and cults and deceivers are
blanketing our city. Do you not say something to all this? I know you are
sovereign, but your sovereignty always acted with wisdom and love in past ages.
Do you not still say to us today,
1 Cor. 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain
But have I so labored, Lord? Help me be real with myself and not too
flattering. How much of the ruin of the church lies at my door? How much
of the burden of God should I bear today? Certainly enough to lead me to pray!
It would be wise to confer with one another about causes of decline and methods
for success, but all conferring with flesh and blood is worthless unless preceded
by conferences with God.
I need God in order to do the work of God. My Father! To accomplish
your work you have to bare your own arm. If you had prospered us and
everything had gone as we planned, then we would have grown self-confident.
But now Lord, we see in Christianity the contrary. Let me run back to closer
fellowship and nearer communion with you than ever before. I want to take hold
on the arm of your strength and stir you with my revival praying!
Lord, revive your work (not mine). Give me a revival of witnessing. Give us
a revival of gospel preaching. Let Paul preach again! Send us the ancient
ministers. We can do without oratory, but not without Christ crucified! Make me
bold today, in the proclamation of your undying love, for Jesus sake. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: Judges 1-3; Luke 1:61-80
Saturday, March 25
Psa. 89:31-33 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I
visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my
lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
Faithful God and Father:
In the Old Testament you made a promise to David. It was sure and
certain. In the New Testament you made a covenant with us, ratified with the
blood of your Son and the word of God. It cannot be altered or cancelled. I have
an eternal guarantee that as long as God lives, so will I live with you!
Alterations and afterthoughts belong to short-sighted beings, not to God. I
may meet with unexpected events that cause me to change my mind, but you see
everything from the beginning. You have no reason to shift position from saving
me, not even because of my future sins!
Since you cannot change in heart Lord, you will not change your mind.
What security it gives me to find you so steadfast! Your faithfulness will never
fail, though mine often does.
2 Pet. 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
You promise me the crown of your kingdom. You promise me the
excellent beauty of your person. You promise me the essence of your nature,
because of my trust in your Son to save me.
If you stop being true to this covenant, you forfeit your holy character. In
what stronger language could any groom express unchanging love for his bride?
Even when you chasten me, your lovingkindness is doing it. There is henceforth
no excuse for me ever to doubt your love. It is unchanging and unchangeable,
and so I thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen.
 HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH PRAYER DIARY SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE TIMES 8:00, 9:00 & 11:00A.M.
HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH
HOW TO BUILD A BALANCED LIFE
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.
3) TEAMWORD
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
GIVE GOD THE FIRST DAY OF EVERY WEEK. You should fellowship
with a group of believers around the word of God every Sunday in our church.
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)

HARVEST BAPTIST CHURCH
PRAYER DIARY
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 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
