Day 4 Of 10 Days Of Prayer Jan 2023
Day 4 of 10 Days Of Prayer January 2, 2023
We are going to get results as we pray!!!
The first thing we do is: Focus On The Lord — Magnify His Great Name!
The second thing we do is: Get A Proper Perspective Of Our Adversaries.
Introduce every challenge to His promises and your testimonies of His faithful execution of His Word.
“There is no panic in Heaven, only plans.” Plans for you. Plans for your prosperity. Plans for your hope and future. God works through opposition! His kingdom will come and what He wants to happen will happen, regardless of the enemy’s efforts to oppose Him.
Acts 4:29 “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness …”
We see that the Peter and John were manifesting great boldness in Acts 4:13 “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.”
Scholars and historians have compared the high priest Annas, Caiaphas, and others in the 1st century jewish leadership to today’s organized crime. A scary group of religious thugs. It really wouldn’t be that difficult for the high priest to use his power and influence to end the lives of the followers of Jesus. So their fears were not unfounded. Yet in the face of tangible and potent opposition they moved ahead with the commission that Jesus gave them. (Our commission too … by the way … disciple the nations)
Grant us ALL BOLDNESS
Jesus operated in boldness. “For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.” Isaiah 59:17
We are not here to co-exist with evil, we are called to pick a fight. God is a warrior.
Exodus 15:3 ““The Lord is a Man of War; the Lord is His name.”
Isaiah 42:13 “The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.”
Psalm 24:8,10 “Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. “The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.”
Here are the two hebrew words for might used above: gibbowr:— mighty, brave tsaba:– goes forth to war.
It is a good thing for us to ask for boldness. Boldness gets results.
1 John 5:14 “And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us.”
2 Corinthians 3:10-12 “For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech.”
Acts 3:6 “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
Acts 3:16 “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.”
Acts 4 :8-10 “And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?” … by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, … this man stands here before you whole.”
Acts 4:18 “So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.”
Acts 4:30 “…by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus,”
Prayer is constantly ABIDING in Him and ASKING for the things He reveals to come into manifestation with great ASSURANCE that it will come to pass because you have AUTHORITY in His Name to execute each of His ASSIGNMENTS.
This is one of my favourite quotes form Bill Johnson: “I’m not impressed with anyone’s life unless they have integrity. But I’m not happy with their life unless they are dangerous. As much as I have the ability to do so, I’ll not let those around me get away with just being nice people!”
ARE YOU DANGEROUS!!!!
Pray: Grant us ALL BOLDNESS
When is the last time you prayed for boldness? Boldness is a quality of a believing life. Boldness isn’t optional. You are command to to approach God will boldness. Approach your everyday life with boldness. The righteous are as bold as a lion!!! Lord grant us boldness!
I listen to this fourth day of prayer on my way to the gym this morning and it just resonated inside of me that we need to EXERCISE boldness. It definitely is a privilege, but only effective if we exercise it. Thank God for the grace of boldness which is a gift always available to us so let’s continually manifest boldness in all aspects of our life. God cares about every area of our lives and we have victory in it ALL!!! Walk in that victory and boldly testify to everyone of the goodness of God. There is power in the name of Jesus!
