Calling ALL Men and Woman of Antioch to join us
for the "National Day of Prayer," Thursday, May 1, to seek God for our Nation
and our Church.
May we be a hungry people for God's presence and His
ways. In preparation for the night of prayer, it is important that
we:
Prepare our hearts and minds by confessing and
repenting of our sin so that our prayers may be heard
Spend time in personal prayer and worship
before we even come to the corporate meeting.
Ask our Father if He wants you to fast and if
so, what. This is not to impress God or others, but to forego our fleshly
desires in order to hear the Lord and hunger after spiritual things.
Seek the Lord and ask Him to reveal any sin in
your attitudes, speech, relationships or any hidden thing. "Search me O God and
know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there is any wicked way
in me and lead me in the way of everlasting." (Psalms 139:23-24)
Come thirsty and hungry, come humbly,
with a clean heart. Be prepared to come boldly to the throne of grace. Just
COME!
"The effective fervent prayer
of a righteous man avails much." James 5:16
