believe in the power 1513888_10151786371577283_307625861_n Many Christians began preparing their hearts and minds for Resurrection Sunday better known as Easter through the season of Lent on February 10 Ash Wednesday. Although it is February 20, I look forward to you and your family joining me, my friends , family and my church family in participating in our 40 Day Prayer Journey, “ War Room Journey: Praying, Listening to the Lord And Living the Life”.  1 Timothy 2:1-4; Philippians 4:6-7; Deuteronomy 30:20; Galatians 2:20, from February 10, 2016 through March 26, 2016. You can go to https://www.ladyofprayer.com to see Day 1 though Day 12

Step into this forty (40) day prayer journey of repenting and praying toward the desires and promises of God to enable us to grow in our spiritual walk. Let each of us as individuals and as a corporate body grow in grace, in service and deed, in love for God and each other and into a lifestyle of individual and corporate prayer.

It is a time to repent, recall, refresh and renew our commitment to communing with Christ, talking to him but also listening to hear what He has to say to each of us individually and corporately. God wants a personal love relationship with you—with us. A relationship involves a two way conversation. Prayer is a dialogue not a monologue. God is not silent. He speaks to us through His Word and in other ways. Jesus was a listener. He said “Whatever I say is what the Father has told me to say” (John 12:50). Like Jesus, we must listen. God is longing for us to pay attention. Let’s all stop and listen.

Hopefully you had the wonderful opportunity to watch the movie “War Room”. God wants us to become effective prayer intercessors and warriors to carry out His Kingdom purpose. We will be praying and study the war room strategies addressed in the movie. Days 8 though 36 will address effective prayer based on an article by Kathy Branzell entitled “War Room: A Thirty-Day Boot Camp Response, 2015”[1]

               The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. James 5:16

Why not ask a loved one to join you on this prayer journey? Let’s all continue with one accord in prayer and supplication (Acts 1:14a) during this Lenten season.

Suggested Logistics 

What follows is a suggested format for the journey. You may need to modify it to fit your schedule or medical restrictions. You are encouraged to use a journal or notebook to write your reflections, what the Lord is speaking to you when you stop to listen, your prayers and/or prayer requests.

           During the Forty Day Prayer Journey it is suggested that you:

  1. Fast at least one day per week preferably Wednesday . Alternatively, you can fast a food or activity the entire Lenten season.
  2. Select a Prayer Partner or two (Triplett) to pray together at least once a week as you determine for your schedule.
  3. Daily read the devotion if any, and read the scriptures. Meditate on the Word each day. Answer the questions in your journal if there are any for that day and write down your reflections. If there is a blank line contained within a day’s activities fill in what applies to you.
  4. Make an entry in your journal each day or as led by the Holy Spirit. Make sure you take time to listen. Complete the exercises if there are any.
  5. Make a commitment to attend Bible Study and The Prayer Gathering or Prayer Meeting at your church or a church. Or join an online prayer group such at 5am Monday- Friday Global Missions Prayer Force or Girlfriends Pray at 7am and 10pm Monday- Friday. Both can be found on facebook.

 DAY 12 – February 21st – How Is Your Prayer Life?

Scripture: Isaiah 55; Proverbs 1:5


In a recent interview Stephen Kendrick said, “Prayer is so much more than people realize. It can powerfully affect every problem and need in our lives if engaged from within a vibrant relationship with God.”

So how “vibrant” is your relationship with God? Write down some adjectives, characteristics, and evidences that describe your current relationship with Jesus. Describe your daily interaction and affection toward Him. How many times do you think about Him during the day? How often do you talk with Him, thank Him, or give Him credit for something good or beautiful? Is prayer your first response or your last resort?

One of the biggest mistakes made in prayer is that we make it about us. We think that we only need to talk to God when we need something. But that is not how any successful relationship communicates. If your write your spouse a love note, or a friend a thank-you note, you do not fill it with ways they can make your life better and easier. You thank them for all they have done and the meaning that they have already brought to your life.

Love expresses and affirms affection without attaching a required expectation at the end of the sentence. We do not say, “You bring so much joy to my life, so give me $50.” Practice praying throughout your day; a sentence here, a thought there that just tells God how much you love and appreciate Him. Practice making your requests in the mindset of His will, so He receives glory and His Kingdom is impacted.

A happy marriage glorifies God, so does an addict who recovers, a prodigal who repents and comes home, a bill that gets paid, a church that is filled with people who have a heart for prayer, worship and service, etc. Abiding in Him teaches us to value what He values, not the other way around. Write down ways to praise and thank Him as you see Him move in your requests, and in your relationship (Isa. 55).*

Pray:

  • Ask God to search your heart and life and to reveal to you any sin you may need to deal with.
  • Pray a prayer of praise and thanksgiving.
  • Ask God for spiritual blessings, for ministry opportunities and empowerment for service.
  • Pray that the gospel may reach the unsaved, unchurched and those hurt by church “folk” such that they may be saved and their hearts and minds are renewed.
  • Ethnic Communities: Psalm 22:27 – that God would bring racial harmony; that long standing offenses may be healed by the forgiveness which begins in Jesus; that Christians show honor and act in Christ’s reconciling power; that many churches would demonstrate the redemptive purpose of God in the beauty of the distinctive languages and cultures.
  • Pray for President Obama and his family.
