MONDAYEVANGELISTIC PRAYER
Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 8
Monday, November 6
2 Cor. 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one
died for all, then were all dead:
Constraining and Loving Lord:
Look how much I owe you, my Love! You died on the crossfor me! You
forgive my sinseven right now! You cover me with a robe of righteousness in
exchange for my dirty self-righteous rags. Look!:
Psa. 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set
my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
You set my feet on a rock, and order my steps in your word. You are
preparing heaven for me, and in the mean time preparing me for heaven. I
cannot count the blessings you give me, and besides all that, you heap a supply of
daily mercies on top! Help me do something worthy of your love. Help me to
witness! To testify. To simply tell __________ and __________. To present a
word-offering about a dying Redeemer.
How ashamed I will be if you return today, and it turns out I kept my love
dammed-up like a stagnant pool. If I have to confess I did nothing for you, then I
will be ashamed. If I said nothing to exalt you in the eyes of others, or build up
your body. What will you think of a love that never shows itself in service?
Prov. 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
How will you accept a love so weak it does not witness, or does not drive
me to some deed of self-denial? Make me a hero of holy zeal! Oh to think how
you loved me and gave your hearts blood for me! So let me now show the power
of that love. Sweep out the dust of worldliness in my life. Clear-away the mists of
sin in my heart. For Christs sake let a tongue of fire fall on me. Give wings to
my witness and strength to my ministry for you, even this week. Amen.
A DAILY PATTERN FOR PRAYER & BIBLE READING
Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 49-52; Hebrews 11
Thursday, November 9
John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto
him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed
my sheep.
GO bury thy sorrow, the world hath its share;
Go bury it deeply, go hide it with care;
Go think of it calmly, when curtained by night;
Go tell it to Jesus, and all will be right.
Go tell it to Jesus, He knoweth thy grief;
Go tell it to Jesus, Hell send thee relief;
Go gather the sunshine He sheds on the way:
Hell lighten thy burdengo, weary one, pray.
Hearts growing aweary with heavier woe
Now droop mid the darknessgo comfort them, go!
Go bury thy sorrow, let others be blessed;
Go give them the sunshine, tell Jesus the rest.
Mary Bachelor, 1870

TUESDAYFOCUS ON CHRISTS CROSS
Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 9
Tuesday, November 7
Matt. 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli,
lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
My Mighty Sufferer and King of Glory:
Why? Why? Surely your attention centered on that one word, why. So I also
turn my eyes that way. You want me to examine the whys and wherefores of your
grief. I want to think much of your passion and all you suffered, but I must not
overlook the reasons for it. If I cannot always understand how this grief, or that
disappointment, works toward your Eternal Purpose, yet I must believe it has its
share in the grand, why. When I feel alone and abandoned I will make my life-
study that bitter but blessed question, Why hast thou forsaken me?
At the bottom-line, your love never endsjust like the love of the Father
to you never stopped, and never even dimmed. Restrained in its flow? It will
always sometimes be so. It is not the Millennium yet. Jesus reigns but Satan rules.
We have a spiritual warfare to complete before all is well. Yet, your love is never
lessened at its source. There are only certain times I cannot receive it. Therefore,
I need not panic at periodic abandonment.
But what is the outcome? If for a moment your manhood was confused,
your mind was yet clear because you said, It is finished. Why did God forsake his
Son? Because Jesus stood in my place. There was no reason in you Jesus, why
the Father should forsake you. The reasons lie with me, with my sins! You were
perfect, and God never acts without reason. Since there were no reasons in your
own character or person (nor could there be), then I see the cause: in myself.
My sin. Your taking it. That is the answer to the question. That is why! Once
you recognized it, you did not argue. You bowed your head in submission. You
gave your hearts blood for my salvation. I love you for your passion. Amen.
FRIDAY CORPORATE PRAYER MINISTRY
Chronological Bible Reading: Lamentations 1-3; Hebrews 12
Friday, November 10
Rom. 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Gracious God and Giving Lord Jesus:
It looks like we will be conformed to your image, both in being bruised in
our heels (Gen. 3:15), as well as being victorious over Satan. Even under our feet
the Dragon will be bruised. Finally! Obviously we are living the prequel, and his
dark power will be broken when you get back.
Rom. 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may edify another.
Lord, we are grieved by strife when it appears in the church. But you are
the God of peace. The unity and harmony that make for peace come only from
you. Satan searches for ways to trip the feet of the unwary, and deceive the hearts
of the nave, but in the end he gets the worst of it, and will be trodden-down by
those of us he troubled. This victory would not be complete if done in the flesh
of our own work or power. You will bruise Satanbut under our feet!
Heb. 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord
Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you
perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight,
through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Help us bravely march-out for the day. Not only demons, but also the
Prince of darkness himself has to yield before us! Give us unquestioning
confidence in your word, and let us not rely on our own evaluations or emotions.
We love that word, shortly. What a dishonor to the Devil to have his head bruised
by our soles. Do it soon! Let us by faith tread the tempter down today. We ask it
for Jesus sake, that he may be glorified in us when he returns. Amen.
WEDNESDAYREVIVAL PRAYING
Chronological Bible Reading: Jeremiah 46-48; Hebrews 10
Wednesday, November 8
Rom. 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the
flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Holy Lord My God:
I have too much sin still around me and inside me. Go on and crucify it.
Help me reckon it to be dead because Jesus did crucify it, and then help me make
it dead as I mortify it. May I stop treating it like a living thing to feed, and be
provided for. No. Now that it is crucified, help me just bury it!
I should make sure my baptism was no lie. I was buried into Jesus death,
with all the fullness of his deadening power. It was a sacred burial of fellowship
with Christ. So now Lord, give me more of new life! Let me have it more
abundantly. Step me up to the next level by your Spirit.
I ask you to let the life of Christ always rule me. I want to walk by his
power. Give me strength through his influence. Elevate me through his energy. I
want to be entirely conquered and ruledas to my own personhoodby the
control of the Holy Ghost through the word of God. I pant for that today!
I ask especially to be walking in the Spirit as I take care of my business.
Help me do nothing that is after the ideas of the old, dead man.
May there be no dead song in my heart
May there be no dead prayer in my mouth
May there be no dead message from my life to others
Give me a burning and flaming gospel for the lost, and give my hearers life
as I explain to them the cross. Let my whole existence be living worship, in spirit
and in truth. I do not just bow my head; I bow my heart to you right now. I do
not want to just close my eyes; I want to be blind to the world and able to see the
realities of faith. I ask for this in hope, by your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
SATURDAYIN THE PSALMS
Chronological Bible Reading: Lamentations 4-5; Hebrews 13
Saturday, November 11
Psa. 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Gracious God and Glorious Father:
You promise me not one guardian angel, but protection by all the angels.
These heavenly messengers make up my bodyguard, and their royal commission
is to watch carefully over my interests and my concerns.
Heb. 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall
be heirs of salvation?
This is another reason nothing can happen to me today apart from your
divine providence. I will probably be amazed when I finally learn about all the
multiplied interventions of your ministering spirits. I can conquer my strongest and
most deceitful enemy. I am able to live a charmed life, and evil forces of
darkness become harmless before your Spirit and your spirits. It is their feet that
crush my worst foes.
Rom. 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
As an heir of heaven, I am conscious of a divine presence in my hardest
trials. When I am suffering, you are always near in power as well as in sympathy.
You do not preserve me or rescue me in a way that will lower me or make me
feel degraded. Instead, your salvation bestows more honor on me by giving me
the assistance of your own ministering servants. So,
Psa. 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto
thy name, O most High:
It is good ethically, because it is right. It is good emotionally, because it
strengthens my heart. It is good experientially, because it is a testimony to others.
I will praise you for your glorious benefits, my God! I will love and laud your
nameJesus, the name that calms my fears, and bids my sorrows cease. Amen.
