10 Days of Prayer 2019 – Day# 2
10 Days of Prayer 2019 – Day# 2, The Spirit and the Word
By: D. Karl Thomas
1 Samuel 3:19, 21
“Samuel grew; the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground … And the Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, for the Lord revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of the Lord.”
That is the way it should be today. None of our words fall to the ground. God watches over what we say to perform it. Reinhard Bonnke says, “God’s word in your mouth is the same as God’s word in His mouth.” Wowzers!!!
When we get His presence and His word working together in our live we are going to see amazing results.
“When the word and the Spirit come together, there will be the biggest movement that the nation and indeed the world has ever seen. It will mark the beginning of a revival that will eclipse even the Wesleyan and the Welsh revival.
Smith Wigglesworth
This is my favourite scripture on prayer. Look at it below. So good!!!
John 15:7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”
The Word was a big deal in the early church … Book of Acts.
“But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”Acts 6:4
“But the Word of the Lord continued to grow and spread.” Acts 12:24
“…the entire city gathered together to hear the Word of God.” Acts 13:44
“ Word of the Lord…spread throughout the whole region.” Acts 13:49
“…the Word of the Lord grew and spread and intensified, prevailing mightily. ”Acts 19:20
Three important disciplines for working with God’s word:
Joshua 1:8“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditateon it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
1. Meditation
Hebrew word “hagah”:– to ponder, mutter, regurgitate
You say you don’t know how to meditate:
“If you have ever worried you have practiced meditation.” Bill Johnson
2. Revelation
Ephesians 1:17-18 “…the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your [a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,…”
Paul’s prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit gets it’s yes and amen in Christ. Revelation and enlightenment is yours!!!
Greek word “apaukaloupis”:– a disclosure
Greek word “photidzo”:– an enlightenment
The lights go on. The truth become clear. The seed brings forth fruit.
3. Activation
Romans 4:17 (Message) “Abraham was first named “father” and then became a father because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nothing.”
That’s awesome. With a word you can make something out of nothing. The word is a big deal and your word is a big deal. You word is should be aligned with God’s word and then you get Divine results!

Praise the Lord for His Word; His Word is power, His Word is the seed.
Today as a church Lord I pray that as we meditate (worry) on your Word may you pop out some revelations in our spirits so that your word may become active and alive in us as individuals and as a church
Praying for an explosion of the Word of God in SW Ontario and beyond. Praying for the power of His Word to destroy the chains of addictions, prostitution, poverty, depression and suicide.
Me too Jedrin.
Praise God! I have been claiming that my words don’t fall to the ground for a while now! And when I pray for leaders I also ask that the Lord reveal himself to spiritual leaders as well, including the Dalai Lama, and even corrupt leaders like Kim Jong In. Jesus died for them too!
Praying for blessings and prosperity for all Impact Church members. Lord pour out wisdom on each one.
Psalm 1:1-3 KJV Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1:1-3 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Psalm%201:1-3&version=KJV
“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Help us Holy Spirit to hear and live by the proceeding word in our hearts and the quickened words we hear as we study your word together.
Lord we pray that as this is the year of the Word, that it will also be a year of harvest! We declare a great harvest for Impact Church and the city of London in 2019 like we have never seen before. We choose to partner with you to bring in the harvest of souls, to love people like Jesus, and to be aware of where you are moving and follow your lead.
Declaring that every Word of the Lord would take deep root in every heart and Holy Spirit would bring great understanding!
Love, love, love this passage. Father, like Abraham, we call our “nothings” into existence as we pull them down from the Heavenly realm where ALL things are possible.
“When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do.” —Romans 4:17-18 MSG
Thank you Lord that the revelation that your Word brings leads us forth into victory!
Thank you for Your Word Lord. Thank you for the starting point to begin to express your mind and will. Thank you that you continue to speak to us and that we can know your word for right now. We speak blessing over those in authority. We command all your good intentions to come forth. We thank you for baptizing us in a fresh faith for today that call the things that we can’t see into manifestation. We have bold faith in 2019!!!
I feel that the Lord is saying that this year there will be a definite increase in our fervancy to serve God in all levels; personal,and corporate. This will lead us to accelerate in all areas of our spiritual life and even in the natural. Of course, our ultimate goal is to draw closer to the heart of God. So I pray for fervancy, acceleration and drawing closer to God’s heart.
Thank you Lord for your word that it is alive, moving and the truth. Thank you that it transcends and transforms, thank you that we can rely on your word. Thank you that you are a God of action, you are not asleep and you call your people into action. Thank you that your word is promises and blessings. Thank you that you are the one true God who gave us your word, your power, your victory. We don’t have to guess our way through life. Thank you for life and abundance and that your plan for us is life and abundance. Thank you for your word and its power. Thank you Jesus that your name is powerful and we call forth all your promises to heal, deliver and save. Lord open opportunities for us all to share the wonders of who you are with our families, this city, nation and world. Lead, guide and direct this body of believers and let us be open to receive. Thank you for your wisdom and strength.
Father we thank you for your powerful and proceeding words that will not return to you void. We speak them back to you to accomplish miracles and establish healing wherever needed. We understand Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power. We also are in Him – so let Your words abide richly in your people!
Wow, Father, thank you for uniting such a powerful family of believers at Impact – let each word and prayer be multiplied for your glory as we join together in faith today and throughout the year. Thank you that your Word is power and we are strengthened as we meditate on it. May you write your Truth on the hearts of all those in authority, Lord God, as well as all those struggling in any area of their lives, and also those who think they’ve got it all together. I partner with my brothers and sisters declaring freedom for the captives at Western, in the city of London, in SWO. Cultivate good soil in their hearts so that when the word comes it will be planted and take deep root to yield good fruit… bring forth the harvest, and increase the labourers… Holy Spirit, bring to life the mysteries and power of the Word as we study and pray together, and help us carve out time specifically devoted to you. For from you, and through you, and to you are all things… for your glory, amen.
Come On!!!!!!!
Yes and Amen!!
Amen! So thankful for the Word that is working mightily in our Church this year!
Ditto to everything everyone said. God is good all the time, He is so good. His Word doesn’t return void and He hears all our prayers which are all according to His will and His Word. He WILL cause them to come to be–to come to fruition. In Jesus’ Name. Thank You Abba, Almighty God and Creator. Thank You Jesus, the Word, who became flesh and Your Blood that is the power and Your resurrection that is the promise. Thank You Holy Spirit for indwelling us and being the Authority of The Word giving our words that authority and power. Amen and Hallelujah!
Wowzers!!! That is some good declaring right there!!!
Lord, thank you for those in authority! Bless them with pearls of wisdom that fall like rain upon their heads. Those people in our city, province, country and beyond can be touched by your love and direction. Open their eyes and their ears and their hearts. I declare that this will be a year where those things that seemed small before will become mighty and strong. Just imagine the effect of the Impact Church family together reading and learning from your Word and praying together. It will definitely have an effect on our spheres of influence. By the way, I really liked it when Pastor Cheryl spoke about the Lord surrounding her this year. I have been “meditating” on that one thought a lot these last few days. Be blessed today!
For every one of those prayer directives listed above, may Holy Spirt bring them to life and advance them in each of our lives. Amen and Amen!!
Thank you for authority and we ask that you help them. And that you help them bring peace to the community,And bring people together. We mention god’s great creation to everyone and we want others to mention it as well. 😀
We believe together as the Body of Christ that this is the Year of Breakthrough in all areas of the ministry. Many souls into the kingdom. Healings and signs , wonders and miracles in great numbers. The church will be moving to a new level . Time to join the end time Army of Jesus. Saints do not give up the Victory is ours , He paid the price , keep pressing through.
Wow! Thank you Lord for directing my family to such an amazing church!! Let your word come alive in everyone’s hearts this year as we do the Jesus trip together!! Amen!!
I love how you simply illuminate truth, worry is like reverse meditation.
how I wished I had meditated more often than worried.
I will meditate on His Word for it is life, health and every answer sought.
Thank You
