TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS LIFE

Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 46-48; Romans 8
Tuesday, July 26

Prov. 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the
habitation of the just.

Matt. 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

Oh Lord and Giver of Life:

I fear you today and no other, because then I come under your divine
protection just as surely as the roof covers my family and me. Make my home a
house of love, a school of training in godliness, and a cinema of heavenly light.
Make this prayer time my familiar altar where the name of God is revered.
Therefore Lord, bless my habitation, just like you promise. It is certainly a
humble habitation and not a lordly mansion, but blessing comes because of
the character of the inhabitants, not because of the size of the house.
That home is most blessed that has the householders fearing God. It is not
a Christian home because it has Christians in it; it is a Christian home because it is
ruled by Christ. Lord, I pray for __________ and __________, that they might
be saved and bring blessing to their house! Justified persons have rights to your
grace. Holy Spirit, help them claim your grace even today.
In myself, I am not a just person. So to make my house the habitation of
the just, let me make Jesus the continual guest. Thenjust like Mary and
Martha, the sisters in Bethanywe will be most blessed. And while you are there
in my house with me Lord,
v Teach me to be just in my job, because that is a testimony
v Teach me to be just in my judgment of others, for that is discernment
v Teach me to be just in my treatment of neighbors and coworkers
v Teach me to be just toward my spouse and my children, as an example
v Teach me to be just in my personal character, as my personal witness
In Jesus name I am claiming this today! Amen.

Holy Lord and Master:

It seems only natural the earth should quake, graves should split, and the
veil in the temple should be torn in twostarting from the top. After all, he who
only hath immortality, the incarnate God and creator, voluntarily gave up the ghost
and died. The more I think about what it took for the Son of God to actually die,
the more I am amazed at the mystery of it!
Even veiled in mortal flesh, how could he condescend to a mortals death,
so as to bow his head on the cross, and submit to be slain and lain in a tomb? Yet
strange to say, the very moment the holy person of Jesus was torn out of his
physical body, the great curtain that concealed the holy of holies was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom. What could it mean?
First, this tearing in two has to be regarded as a solemn act of mourning
by the house of the Lord. Men expressed their sorrow in those days by tearing
their garments. The temple, when it beheld you die Master, seemed struck by
horror, like a smart-bomb had hit it. Shocked at the sin of man, indignant at the
death of its Lord, in sympathy it tore its cloak.
Next, the tearing has to be taken to mean the whole system of Old
Testament types and shadows and ceremonies came to an end. This is why we
do not worship by sacraments or need a priest in vestments! The ordinances of a
temple priesthood were torn along with that veil. In token of the death of the
ceremonial law, the soul of the sacrificial system left its sacred shrine and exited
the physical temple as a dead thing. Mormons and others are devilishly deceived.
Good news! I am now free to worship you in spirit and in truth. Amen.

A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING

Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 52-54; Romans 10
Thursday, July 28

Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus.

WHAT a wonderful change in my life has been wrought

Since Jesus came into my heart;
I have light in my soul for which long I have sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
I have ceased from my wandring and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart;
And my sins which were many are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
Im possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart;
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
Since Jesus came into my heart, since Jesus came into my heart;
Floods of joy oer my soul like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

Rufus H. McDaniel, 1914

2 Cor. 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Gracious God and Father:
We have a desire for this summer, and during our Outreach August, to
magnify Christ as Gods unspeakable gift. This goes against our postmodern
times, because discipleship turns probabilities into certainties, and discards the
mere opinion of truth stories, for truth itself. We make the Lord more than a
mythological good man; he is allthe unspeakable gift of God!
Help us praise you this summer, and in our outreach, because we can never
possibly thank you as we ought. If Jesus is truly our Savior, then we should thank
God for him! If Jesus is our life, then we should thank him for waking us up in
the morning and sending us on our way in a missional fashion to minister.
Psa. 113:3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORDS
name is to be praised.
Oh to get into that state where we are singing in your presence, studying
your word through preaching, and going out afterward into the world to make a
difference! This is the way we lift up our king. He is worth it, and worthy of such
devotion. Let me today vow that, the Holy Spirit helping me, I will use the rest of
this year as an opportunity to thank God for his unspeakable gift of grace in Jesus
Christ. That I will do holy work next week and next month and this coming fall.
Help us, all you who know salvation! Help us, all you who participate with
us in discipleship! Help us, angels! Help us musicians and praise leaders! Help us,
pastors and preachers! Help us HarvestKids and youth workers. It is still
unspeakable unto the end, but help us anyway!
Dear God, indelibly write this line of gratitude on our hearts during this
summer, for we ask it in Jesus precious name. Amen.

WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 49-51; Romans 9
Wednesday, July 27

1 Thes. 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Gracious God and Redeemer:
I know there is no way to heaven but by holiness. The holiness of Christ
has to be given to me to make me worthy. Then the holiness of the Holy Spirit
has to be shown through me after it is planted in me to make me ready.
Help me insist on revival in these postmodern (really, post-moral),
Generation Y, millennial, net-generation last days. Lax thinking and dubious
doctrine have resulted in loose morals and pop theology, but no revival! Give me
a holy faith in a holy Savior found in holy scriptures, from whom I look for holy
blessings. Jesus Christ did not save me in my sins; he does save me from my sins.
Cast-out the corruptions of my flesh! Purify me to yourself, a holy person
zealous of good works. I have no faith without works, for that is dead faith. It is
avatar spirituality with the looks of a human, yet without the full function.
I trust in grace alone, but grace that does not lead to revival is not grace
at all. I pant and aspire to be holy. I will not immediately attain it, but I groan for
it! I do not always have it, but I ever desire it. When I lose it I grieve over it. I
pray and confess my sins so I can have fellowship restored, and continue on the
route of perfecting holiness. I long to be made more like Christ. Oh, Jesus!
Those who seek after holiness are able to make the wilderness and the
loneliest place be glad. A miracle of grace enables me to rejoice when traveling
through trials, and be satisfied with the presence of Jesus when I have no other
friend. Though often fearful of heart, I am bold to keep to this sacred way. I need
not turn from the path to find an easier route or a more popular passage.
Matt. 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Give me revival for Jesus sake and in honor of his word. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: Psalm 58-60; Romans 12
Saturday, July 30

Psa. 109:30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him
among the multitude.
Great and Holy Heavenly Father:
Help me bear my heavy load, yet also rise above it. I am weak. My haters
are strong and ferocious. But you will always redeem me from evil, so I praise
you even now. You have gone back to my future already, so I will praise you in
the present even louder and even among others.
I do not praise you in order to be heard by others, but I do want to make
my thanksgiving as public as the blessings I receive. I also want to draw others to
come to you by listening to my praise of you. For this cause the Psalmist sang,
even when his heart was breaking.
Nothing can sustain my heart better than proper praise. Deal with all those
who attack me. Not so I can be spared, but so others can note my deliverance,
and want to have the same sustaining relationship with you as I.
Psa. 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make
thine enemies thy footstool.
Eventually you will call me (even like you did my Lord Jesus) away from
shame and suffering and into rest and honor. But I can not praise you as well
then and up there, if I do not praise you right now and down here. The work is
not done yet, but on that day I can finally sit down, the rest will be sweeter
because of what we have endured together. I will then really know Jesus because
I have passed through sufferings like his in order to gain fellowship with him.
Jesus, already you sit next to the throne. Since you are seated in quiet
expectancy, I live in a peacefully assured attitude, and await your return in power
and great glory. All things are moving to your ultimate victory. Amen.

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)

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.

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
