Night Prayer
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Inspiration
Sometimes we feel overwhelmed at the thought of witnessing to strangers, but we must have no fear! In the book of Acts, we observe numerous occasions when the Holy Spirit led the Apostles to speak to multitudes; or placed them in an individual's path to minister privately. The Holy Spirit is marvelous; He will direct us and open opportunities for witness. We must make sure we are always alert and ready for action!
Prayer
Dear Father, we trust Your Spirit to remain present and continue to guide our steps in ministry. We will stay alert and prepared to spread the Good News when the opportunity arises. 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.
