PRAYER and FASTING
12 noon - 3pm
Session Three - GOD OF LIFE
Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses. Yes, there will be an abundance of flowers and singing and joy! The deserts will become as green as the mountains of Lebanon, as lovely as Mount Carmel or the plain of Sharon. There the LORD will display his glory, the splendor of our God.
Isaiah 35:1-2
REFLECTION
It is believed that God created the heavens and the earth ex nihilo (out of nothing). God is the author of life and also holds the key to eternal life. Human beings have worked hard to turn deserts into greenland but no human or science can turn death into life, we can revive a heart that stops beating but when life ceases and leaves a body only God can restore that life.
QUOTES
When Elisha arrived, the child was indeed dead, lying there on the prophet’s bed. He went in alone and shut the door behind him and prayed to the Lord.
2 Kings 4:32-33
PRAYER
The Shunammite woman knew her situation was hopeless but she still had faith that the God who provided initially, could do something to change her hopelessness. Where do you need God to restore life? Relationships; Health; Spirituality; Hopes, Longings, and Salvation. Use this session to pray for God’s restorative life to come into those situations that presently look hopeless.
MEDITATE
The picture of a desert booming with life is captivating. Can you see through the eyes of faith those areas of hopelessness booming with life for you.
