Day 2 Of 10 Days Of Prayer Jan 2023

Day 2 of 10 Days Of Prayer January 2, 2023

Thank you for joining us for this season of prayer. There is a great deal of activity in the Body of Christ right now. So many voices speaking into what is happening globally. It is a great time to partner with God and pray with His clarity into what He is doing.

In a time of great turmoil in the earth, Corrie Ten Boom, who suffered through Hitler’s concentration camps, lost several of her family members, and yet was a clear testimony for Jesus Christ? She once said: “There is no panic in heaven, only plans.” I love that. God is clearly in control. We must always operate in this realm from our heavenly position.

Ephesians 2:4-6 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”

There is no panic in Heaven, only plans.

I love the prayer in Acts 4:23-31. Let’s look at this pattern for the next few days. They had just been arrested and threatened and told not to use the NAME of Jesus. In this time of struggle they did not shrink back in fear. They put a demand on God for MORE.

No natter what is going on in the world – In your world – In your life – God is not in state of panic and we are In Christ, seated in heavenly places, ENTHRONED … Reigning and Ruling.

Look how the prayer begins:

4:24 “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,…”

Always begin by magnifying the Lord in everything. Begin by praising and exalting Him. Focus on His greatness. He is so exalted above all. Align yourself with your place in Him.

Psalm 34:3-4 “Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.”

Nehemiah had to lead the people in prayer in a time of difficulty. I love the way he began his prayer: Nehemiah 1:5 “I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments,…”

Solomon begins  his prayer by appealing to God’s greatness: 2 Chronicles 6:14  “… and he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven or on earth like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy…”

I love the simplicity of the Prayer of ASA … in a time of great difficulty. 2 Chronicles 14:11

“And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, “Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!”

Jesus when He taught His disciples to pray began this way: Matthew 6:9 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.”

If we are going to partner with Heaven we must do it from Heavens perspective. Before we mouth any petition we must be sure we are invaded with mind, power and purpose of our heavenly Father.

There is no panic in Heaven, only plans.

PRAYER DIRECTIVES:

Tell me about the greatness of God. Share with us how great your God is. Magnify Him together as we approach this new season. 

1. Let’s pray for the manifestation of the Church. Let’s call forth that beautiful redeemed community that will manifest God’s fulness in the earth. Come forth CHURCH!!!

2. They will know we are disciples by our love for one another. Baptize us a fresh in your LOVE!!!

3. Thanks you for a community of believers moving together manifesting your glory!!!

4. When you feel everything is lost and you can’t go on … Stop!!! You are very close to the fulfillment of God’s best for your life. Don’t ever be the victim. You are condemned, by the finished work of the cross, to TRIUMPH!!! INTRODUCE YOUR CHALLENGE TO THE GREATNESS OF GOD!!!

5. Think of areas where the enemy has tried to steal from you … your family … your church community. Encourage yourself in God and demand your stuff back, IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!

    Oh God,

    I love you! You alone are worthy of all praise! You alone are worthy.

    I love the quote from Corrie Ten Boom, “There is no panic in Heaven, only plans.” What we see as setbacks, are actually setups by You! Help us to trust Your Hand, to trust Your Plans for our lives.

    So often the enemy of our souls likes to take the truth and tweak it just a little bit to cause us to doubt.

    John 8:32 (NIV) says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

    Lord, help us to remember the truth and to hold on to the Truth. Then help us to trust in You and Your plans for our lives. They are good ones. May we come alongside You and not fight Your purposes.

    Oh God, we love You! And can’t wait to see what you have in store for us individually and as Impact Church this year! May You, oh God, get all the praise, all the honour and all the glory.

    In Jesus’ name, amen!

    “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:36

    “…one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
    Ephesians 4:6

    Thank you God that you are the Great Creator and in You, are all things. Thank you God that You are more than able to restore, and make things beautiful, no matter the situation.

    Great, kind and compassionate God, we magnify You and exalt Your Name. We call into manifestation Your Church and say ‘Come forth Church’, that Your Divine Glory and fullness would be manifest and demonstrated through us, Your Church.

    We are VICTORS through Jesus and the very same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. And by that Spirit and the authority given to us as Your people, we agree with Pastor Karl’s statements and declare: We command health to be restored! We command wealth to be restored! We command relationships to be restored! We command passion to be restored!

    Thank You, Father, that we can approach Your Throne in confidence and with boldness to ask these things, knowing that You hear and that You answer. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

    We love You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we praise You, and we pray in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.
