We understand that we live in a spiritual war, yet God does give seasons of peace and fruitfulness along the way. When he does, believers must use these times to consolidate gains, strengthen the believers, and prepare for further expansion of his kingdom.
“Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened. Living in the fear of the Lord and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.”
Lord, we pray for seasons of peace, sustained fruitfulness, and encouragement as disciples and churches continue to work to reach every unreached people and place. We ask that disciples in Istanbul would use this season to prepare for futher kingdom growth. Lord, we ask that you prepare your church for the opposite season of persecution and hardship that will come again one day. Deepen their faith and strengthen your disciple makers' fervor for the Lord.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
Disciplemaking Principle: Understand the Urgency of the Task Jesus tells his disciples that we will not know the hour in which he will return, but that we should always be ready. Disciple Making Movements focus on the urgency of the task at hand - all peoples, nations, tribes and languages hearing the good news of Christ.
ReadPsalm 66:4-7 "Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs. Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance."
