Night Prayer
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Inspiration
The early church was at peace, comforted by the Holy Spirit, and growing steadily. They could not use modern technology to spread the Word. Instead, the Holy Spirit consistently provided opportunities to witness; people arrived in multitudes to hear the apostles speak and pass along precious information. Today we have multiple options available to spread the Word efficiently and quickly. We will allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, using technology to spread the Word.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are blessed with multiple ways to continue Your ministry. Please keep us prepared for new opportunities every day. In Jesus’ Name, 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.
