PRAYER and FASTING
Session Four
LIFE
REFLECTION
“Jesus declared that he came to give life, and life abundant, to all who would relinquish their own, take up their cross, and follow him. The sobering reality is that we can be physically alive, yet spiritually dead before God. Jesus proclaimed, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ He is the path to God, the truth that liberates, and the life that imbues existence with purpose and meaning.
Jesus’s desire for humanity is to restore the life lost in Eden to the life regained in Gethsemane. He extends this eternal life to everyone, for he himself is eternal.”
QUOTES
The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Jesus
PRAYER
In this last session of our prayer we want to pray for life and we want to broaden our request for life into our wider communities, friends and families and acquaintances. Pray for a deeper work of the Holy Spirit through you and the body of Christ in all their sphere of influence. Pray that in all your encounters with others as you journey through today and this week and month you will speak words of life that releases life into others. Pray that the life of God will emanate from you and make a difference to those you encounter on your journey.
MEDITATE
In him was life and this life was the light that guided all people. What do you think of this description of Jesus and what are the implications of that statement for those in Christ.
