PRAYER and FASTING
Session Four
Faith In The Holy Spirit
REFLECTION
So much of our modern life is designed to create a desired effect. We use lighting, mood music, scents, and specific layouts to attract people, engage them, and ultimately sell to them or manipulate them for our benefit.
As God’s people, we can so easily fall into this worldly trap, forgetting that God’s presence is the most attractive and enriching thing we can offer those inside and outside the church. An encounter with God’s manifest presence can truly transform our perspectives on life and draw us into a deeper experience of Him.
QUOTES
God doesn’t owe us an explanation for everything and actually what I’ve found is that explanations don’t comfort. What comforts, is the presence of God, not the explanation of God.
Rick Warren
PRAYER
In this session we want to pray for the manifest presence of God in our church here elimworthing and also in the wider body of Christ in our town. Pray that God’s presence in the church will draw the world in, like insects to a light. Pray that God’s presence will bring the enemy’s yoke and lead to healing and restoration. Pray that God’s presence will so fill the body of Christ that it will overflow into the wider communities, that families will experience salvation and renewal and the community as a whole will experience revival.
MEDITATE
Imagine yourself standing within a circle, drawn closely around you. Pray that God’s presence will enter that circle and transform everything within it. Take time to wait in that circle.
