Partners In Prayer For The
Ukiah Bible Church
APRIL
Introduction:
Our purpose and how to use the Scriptures to pray
Our desire is to create partnerships in the ministry of prayer for our church. The purpose of this ministry is to unite the members of our congregation around the throne of God each week with a special theme for prayer. The manner in which this takes place is simple; each partnership determines the time, location or means of connecting for prayer.
One of the most effective ways of praying is to use Scriptures in conjunction with one’s conversations with God. When one does this, the Spirit of God will use the Scriptures to help you align your prayers with His priorities, thus effectively conforming your prayers with what pleases Him. One noted prayer Warrior said, “The Spirit rides best in His own chariot and His chariot is the word of God.” For this reason, along with each theme you will find Scriptures that relate to those themes. If you will read the passages from your Bible before you pray and consider the context in which you find them, you will discover a source of words and ideas that will help your prayers align with God’s Word and thus, enhance your experience and accomplish much.
James 5:16, “…The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”
Let's not settle for talking about prayer, let's step into it together.
Our theme for this month is the Power of His Resurrection: "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection..." (Philippians 3:10)
The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is still at work today. One of the primary ways God releases that power in and through His people is through prayer. So we ask: that the message of Resurrection Sunday would grip hearts, that many would be brought from death to life, and that believers would live daily in the hope and power of the risen Christ.
Don't let this become routine prayer. We are not asking God for small improvements, we are asking Him to bring life out of death.
