Scripture Focus for the Week

"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear, but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear" (Isaiah 59:1,2)

"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there by any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  (Psalms 139:23-24)

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
