Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Church Family,
Thank you for joining me on the journey of 28 weeks of prayer as we seek to “Go Beyond at Home” here at Kingsland.
This is an incredible time in the life of Kingsland as we seek God through 28 weeks of intentional, guided prayer, asking Him to move in our hearts, home, church and beyond.
Our Pastoral Staff are writing specific prayers each week to lead us into a deeper dependence on God. Our prayer is that God will do a work in our hearts through these 28 Weeks of Prayer and prepare us, help us understand His vision for Kingsland, and do what only He can do through the people of Kingsland!
Blessings,
Pastor Ryan
Identity:
Acts 17:28a “For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being],”…
Who are you? What is your identity? Where is it found? How you answer these questions will directly affect the way you live out each day of your life & the legacy you leave. Where you look for these answers will either bring you to the Truth and provide rest for your soul, or unnecessary confusion and what some would call an identity crisis. Embracing our true identity as revealed in the Scriptures brings honor and glory to our Creator. The apostle Paul reminds us that in Christ we are new creations; the old is gone and the new has come. We have been given the opportunity through the pages of the Bible to know the One in whose image we have been created and in whom we actually find our very existence. This week we’ll pray through powerful truths from God’s Word that will both inform and reveal our true identity.
Week 5
Day 3
April 2
“You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (AMP)
— Matthew 5:14,16
REMINDER: Christ desires to shine forth in the world through you! Jesus said, the one who follows Him will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. Brothers and sisters, we have been given the beautiful gift of life, and life abundant in Jesus Christ. The family of God has been entrusted with the light, hope and truth of the glorious gospel. As we live &follow Jesus’ example as His radiant representatives in this world, His light within us cannot help but shine and draw others in; so that, they too can walk in the Light and then be the light in a dark world.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Take a moment to repeat and reflect on the identity you have in Christ. Worship Jesus for choosing you to be His light to the world!
– Acknowledge and confess any fears or reservations you may have of being the light of Christ to those within your sphere of influence.
– Ask the Holy Spirit to show you if there’s any way you’re living that is not bringing honor and glory to your heavenly Father.
– Pray for strength and courage to consistently walk with God in the light; so that, you can experience true, unbroken fellowship with one another. Thank Him that the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
