Prayer Focus for the Week
Confession and Repentance
As we approach the Lord together in prayer asking Him to send revival and spiritual awakening to Dolton, IL, we must remember that there is no sin too small to hinder our prayers. Confession and Repentance are the first steps towards revival. This week as you pray, remember that humility, confession, and repentance are pre-requisites for cleansing, forgiveness, and restoration of God's blessings. The revival prayers recorded in Scripture confirm the need, not only for personal confession, but also for corporate confession (Neh. 1:6, Isaiah 64:6,).
In addition to what God reveals that requires repentance for yourself, your home, your church, and your community. focus on these hiderances to revival prayer:
Monday: Unconfessed sin ~ Psalm 66:18 ~ Confess all known sin, seek a pure heart, by faith claim God's forgiveness
Tuesday: Unresolved conflicts ~ Matt. 5:23-24 ~ Obtain and maintain a clear conscience before all men.
Wednesday: Unforgiving spirit ~ Mk. 11:25,26 ~ Forgive others, as God has forgiven you.
Thursday: Unbelief ~ Mk. 11:22-24 ~ Learn to exercise faith in the power of God.
Friday: Unselfishness ~ Jas. 4:3 ~ Pray with pure motives - Pray for God's glory.
Saturday: Uninspired Prayer ~ Jas:5:16 ~ Pray earnestly and fervently

I have faith to believe with God, all things are possible. I believe 1,000 will pray and that God will hear and answer. I see revival and spiritual awakening in Dolton as a result of fervent, faith believing prayers. Who believes with me?
ReplyDeleteThank God for the first prayer walk, I'm expecting God to do great things in the days to come. This past Mon. there was a double murder at the Citgo gas station on 142nd and Lincoln. Unfortunatly I don't know many details. Two black males were shot during the early am around 2:00am.
ReplyDeleteI have a question, when we attend prayer services and meetings is there a sign in sheet, so we know who and hiow many people are attending? Thanks in advance Elaine
