VERSE: Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence. (1 Peter 3:15)

EQUATION: Accept the Lordship of Christ > Yourself + Knowledge of the Holy= Ability to Evangelize in Love.

ACTION: Modern free grace tells new recruits to Christianity that accepting Jesus “in your heart” is all you need for heaven. SHORT CIRCUIT! Sanctify Christ AS LORDmeans one thing – accepting Him as Lord and Master. This is the main qualifier for the true believer to share the Gospel effectively, according to Scripture.

PRAYER: Most High God, Creator and Keeper of the Universe, Thou art most worthy of Praise, Glory and Honor and we worship You and You alone, in the Name of Thy Son – my Lord and my Savior, Jesus Christ. Help us to comprehend what You are saying because it is so simple, we miss it on purpose! We refuse to submit to the Lordship of Christ because we want to make our own choices in life. However, You have made it clear that it is this same fact, from this verse, which will enable us FULLY to comprehend the Gospel of Hope, Love and Heaven so completely, that the overflow from our collective submissive hearts, will flow out to those around us. It is only in this way, many will even grasp Your true love, grace, mercy and long-suffering and the free gift of salvation and eternal life. Help us to be glued to this Truth, Almighty God, in Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray. Amen

FIVE DAYS OF PRAYER (SUNDAY MAY 3- THURSDAY MAY 7, 2015)

“Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a safe journey for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.” Ezra 8:21.

This coming Thursday May 7 is the 64th Annual National Day of Prayer. In order to observe this day, in a special way that could have impact in our local communities, five days of Biblical prayer is now launched here to focus on our hearts, minds, bodies and souls on what is truly important – become righteous before God. The world is in the grips of rampant evil and what Jesus predicted is coming through – not just with wars, rumors of wars and natural disasters, but falling away and persecution. The voices who are prophetically proclaiming the Word of the Lord are virtually ignored. Regardless of the vast majority of people rejecting it, the Word of the Lord stands forever. Regardless of weak church leadership in the west sidelining the True Words and Judgment of the Lord and replacing it with useless fluff and compromise with this corrupt and perverse generation, God and His Truth never changes.

So as we go into the next five days of Prayer, culminating in almost every corner of this great nation praying on the SAME day, with one accord for the transformation of a nation. We focus today on the words of God’s prophet, Ezra, because he was a man who faced the same spiritual and societal evils and more that we face today.

PRAYER POINTS FROM EZRA 8:21-23:
– FAST (Fasting is NOT a commandment, but Jesus did speak about fasting in the Sermon on the Mount and HOW we should fast, should we choose to do so.
