3 Days of Prayer and Fasting (Mid-year 2016: June 15, 16 & 17) ―Consecrate yourselves, For tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you…‖ –Joshua 3:5 Be with me Lord as I start this journey of prayer with you. Most of all, I’m doing this because I want to become more like Jesus. Grant me spiritual revival! Second, I want to be more open to the amazing things that You will do in my life. Specifically, I’m praying for these dreams/faith goals: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

For maximum spiritual benefit, set aside ample time to be alone with the Lord. Listen for His leading. The more time you spend with Him, the more meaningful your fast will be. Sample schedule:

Morning - Begin your day in praise and worship. - Read and meditate on God's Word, preferably on your knees. - Invite the Holy Spirit to work in you to will and to do His good pleasure according to Philippians 2:13. - Invite God to use you. Ask Him to show you how to influence your world, your family, your church, your community, your country, and beyond. - Pray for His vision for your life and empowerment to do His will.

Noon - Return to prayer and God's Word. - Take a short prayer walk. - Spend time in intercessory prayer for your community's and nation's leaders, for the world's unreached millions, for your family or special needs and prayer list given after every daily devotional.

Evening - Get alone for an unhurried time of "seeking His face." - If others are fasting with you, meet together for prayer. - Avoid television or any other distraction that may dampen your spiritual focus. When possible, begin and end each day on your knees with your spouse for a brief time of praise and thanksgiving to God. Longer periods of time with our Lord in prayer and study of His Word are often better spent alone.

Day 1: June 15, 2016 (Wednesday) “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” - 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

The first temple in Jerusalem had just been completed. King Solomon led a massive weeklong celebration, to dedicate the temple. As per tradition, the walk of shame often proceeds intense partying, so that’s how we get to this verse. God, then speaks to Solomon, the king of Israel, and promises Solomon that if the people of God; humble themselves, pray and ask forgiveness, seek God continually and repent, then God would hear those prayers and heal their land. Those are the principles by which we Christians live. Repentance is little more than returning our hearts to God. We too walk in shame, we too deny our true self and today, God is saying rest my beloved and return to me. Let us see that we cannot do everything, and feel the liberation of that statement in our bones. Let us give our hearts back to God as our minds wonder throughout the day. And our Lord will give us the strength, to be open to resting in this season and find healing in trusting His embrace. Amen. Take a moment of silent and examine your self, what are the things you need to confess and repent to God? Example: Disobedience, neglecting God’s instruction, not prioritizing God. ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Why do you think we have to humble our selves before the Lord? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ What are the things you know you cannot do or you cannot achieve without God. ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Acknowledge that without God we are nothing and we can do nothing. Let us humble our selves before the Lord, confess our sins and know that He is faithful 4|Page

and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9). Let God sit on the throne of our hearts and take control of our lives.

Please include in your prayers our Prayer List for today: 1. Church o That church’ leaders and ministers will hunger for God’s presence and the Spirit’s work, gifts and expressions. o That they would walk in companionship with the Spirit and be open to all that Jesus promised the Spirit would provide. o For congregations to be increasingly filled with anticipation for the Spirit to reveal Himself and transform lives each time the family of God meets. o That God will increase the churches’ understanding of the need for continual dependence on Him, and we will begin to consciously ―practise His presence.‖ 2. Next Generation o Pray for their humility and submission to Christ and to the elderly. o Pray especially for those between the ages of 4 and 14, who are most receptive to the gospel, that they will have many opportunities to hear it clearly explained. That we may lead them to respond by believing in Christ, confessing Him as Lord and Saviour. o That God will help them to believe and love His Word as absolute truth, and to share their faith with boldness. o Grant them the wisdom, courage and strength to resist temptations and anything that can draw their hearts and lives away from the Lord, and to commit to God’s plans for them completely. 5|Page

Day 2: June 16, 2016 (Thursday) “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” - 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) From the dedication of Solomon's temple to your congregation singing hymns, the spirit of worship and praise for our God is the same. When Solomon finished his public prayer of dedication, ―fire came down from heaven‖ and ―the glory of the Lord filled the temple‖ (v. 1). The same thing had happened at the dedication of the tabernacle (Lev. 9:23-24), as well as on other occasions when He wanted His power and presence to be unmistakable. Kneeling facedown was an expression of awe and worship, underlined by their verbal covenant affirmation, ―He is good; his love endures forever‖ (v. 3). God also appeared to Solomon again, officially answering his prayer with promises and affirmations, as well as warnings. As long as Israel remained faithful and didn't serve other gods, the temple would remain. But if they did sin and come under His judgment, they could humbly repent and seek the Lord, knowing He would forgive their sin and heal their land (v. 14). The complete celebration took fifteen days—seven days of dedicating the temple and altar, seven days for the Feast of Tabernacles, and one day for a national assembly. At its conclusion, the people returned home ―joyful and glad in heart for the good things the Lord had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel‖ (v. 10). Your home likely has less gold workmanship than Solomon's temple! Even so, you can still dedicate it to the Lord. If you haven't done so already, we suggest that you and your family pray through your house room-by-room, committing each person and every activity in it to God's service and glory. In the kitchen, for example, you could pray about topics such as godly hospitality. In the children's bedroom, you could entrust their character and future choices to the One who loves them even more than you do. Have you dedicated your life to God? What does ―DEDICATE‖ mean? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________

Day 3: June 17, 2016 (Friday) “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” - 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

―If My people, who are called by My name.‖ That identifies the people who are being addressed. Why is this important? It is because we are the ones who need to be revived. We believers need to fall in humility on our face and cry out to the Lord to forgive us for losing our first love—the love of Christ. God told Solomon that the Temple would be a place his people could come and be assured that their prayers would be heard if they honestly and humbly would seek God. This promise is true still, to this very day, for while God's physical Temple isn't standing, his spiritual one is found in the gathering of his people (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16; Matt. 18:20). What a great blessing and what a powerful gift for us today! We know that when we gather with believers and humble ourselves before God and seek his presence He will hear us. Let’s demonstrate our humility by confessing that we have strayed from God’s way and have gone our own willful way by loose living and indifference to the things of God. The definition of revive is: ―To return to consciousness or life: become active or flourishing again.‖ What part of your Christian life needs revival? And What actions do you need to do?
