I believe with all my heart that God is purifying His Church. The events of the last year have been intended to awaken the Church—to shake us from our slumber, our routines, and our habits. I believe He’s asking us to make decisions today that will allow His purposes, and His will, to come forth on the Earth with greater clarity, boldness, and authority than we have ever seen in our lifetimes. I want to say YES to the Lord. How about you?
LET’S PRAY:
Heavenly Father,
We say YES to You. We surrender ourselves, our time, our energy, our talent, and our resources for Your glory. We turn away from our selfish ambitions and our commitments to pleasure. Lord, we offer ourselves as living sacrifices to serve You. Give us ears to hear and eyes to see, that we might cooperate with Your purposes.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness, and that You have kept us and watched over us. Thank You that, through the blood of Jesus, You HAVE delivered us, You ARE delivering us, and You WILL deliver us. Thank You that the spirit of fear, and the spirit of ambivalence and indifference, has been broken over our lives. Thank You that You bring life to our mortal bodies and peace to our hearts and our souls.
Give us the courage, the boldness, and the wisdom we need to make decisions that honor You. Thank You, Father, that You’re writing a future for us—a future for our good and not for our harm. Continue to give us a new passion, a new authority, and a new boldness to be advocates for Jesus of Nazareth. For it’s in His name we pray, Amen.
Onward in Him,
Pastor Allen Jackson
