DAY 101 - The earnest prayers of the church

Today’s Reading: Acts 12

(Please read Acts 12: 1 – 25 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf . (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
Acts 12: 5

The Lord Jesus told me that I don’t need to worry about accusation and persecution. Just be concerned about whether I can call enough people to pray!

We need to learn the power of prayer. If the church is earnestly praying to God for someone, like when they were praying for Peter and concerned that he might die, the result was that Peter's persecutor died instead.

It is a good time to start our 2nd phase of 100 days 24/7 prayer campaign today. It’s so easy to say that we will pray, we know how to pray. It’s so difficult that we really trust in the power of prayers and really pray!

Dear Lord Jesus,Help me to stir up the hearts of more people to pray. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Prayer items today:
For ACiC/AI:

We start another phase of 100 days of prayer today. I am calling you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ to fill in your names in the new list below. Many wonderful things have happened in the past 100 days. Can we follow our King, our Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ to use an hour’s time to pray for His protection and blessings to my new ministry as the Bishop of ACiC/AI, all our ACiC/AI clergy, leaders and people? Pray that in the Holy and Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we can win over Satan's tricks, in order to strengthen our brothers and sisters so that His Kingdom will be extended.
