Fasting and Prayer, DayTwo
by Mary Benton on Friday, Jan 2nd, 2009 at 09:38 am
Fasting and Prayer, Day Two

Blessings in Jesus' name!  I pray for the blessing and favor of God on every area of your life as you seek Him with all your heart during this time of fasting and prayer.

Our theme for this fast is
“Seeking the face of God for intimacy,
Hearing the voice of God for revelation and
Experiencing the hand of God for transformation.”

The specific focus  for today is from Ephesians 1:18, “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened."  We are praying for our spiritual eyes to be open to see things and to have understanding of things that we would not know or understand without revelation from God.  Yesterday we prayed for the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation."  Today we are praying for the "eyes of our hearts" to be open and receptive to what the Spirit of wisdom and revelation will show us.

It's a rough comparison, but think of your heart in comparison to a television, Although the messages are filling the air around the TV, it will not receive it unless it is turned on.  That is what we are asking for today, for the screen of our hearts to be turned on and for our receiver to be tuned to the right channel to receive the revelations of wisdom and understanding that God wants to give us today.  How exciting to think of your heart as a receptor for signals from heaven!  Turn it on and tune in to heaven.  Revelations are coming your way today.

Our theme scripture is Ephesians 1:17-23 and Ephesians 4:12-13.  I want you to know the schedule and themes of the daily prayer times.  Even if you are not able to come to the meetings, you can join in unity with the rest of the church. Our daily emphasis is:

1.    Thursday, January 1    Wisdom and Revelation
Eph 1:17  "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him”

2.    Friday, January 2    Spiritual Enlightenment
Eph 1:18  “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened”

3.    Saturday, January 3    The hope of His calling
Eph 1:18 “That ye may know what is the hope of his calling”

4.    Sunday, January 4    The riches of His glorious inheritance
Eph 1:18 “the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints”

5.    Monday, January 5    The greatness of His power in you as a believer
Eph 1:19  “The exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe”

6.    Tuesday, January 6    The working of His mighty strength
Eph 1:19  “According to the working of his mighty [sustained] power (strength).

7.    Wednesday, January 7    Maturity
Eph 1:23  “Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.”
Eph 4:12  “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ”
Eph 4:13  “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ”

May God give you great grace during this special time of fasting and prayer.  In Jesus' name, Amen!
