Night Prayer
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Inspiration
Paul makes a passionate statement to believers as they become emotional when told he may potentially lose his life in Jerusalem. He tells them he is prepared to be bound or killed in the name of the Lord. Paul had been commissioned to share the Gospel and that’s exactly what he did! We have been called to the same ministry and it is an honor to evangelize in the name of the Lord.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are passionate about our ministry because we choose to live for You. Help us see opportunities to share your Word with the world. Amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
