Ready to Rescue Day 19

PRAYER VERSE: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20

19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

PRAYER FOCUS

Praise God that He has made our bodies the temple of His Holy Spirit. Repent of the ways that you have misused or abused your body, detracting from the glory of God. Ask God to fill every part of you with His Holy Spirit: heart, mind, soul, and strength. Yield your body to God’s glory, especially as you fast today.

DEVOTIONAL

  • How do we ensure that we have the “right” view of God and how do we maintain it?
  • How does our understanding of who God is and what He’s done for us affect how we live each day?
  • How does it affect the way we view God’s word? Our purpose?

FASTING FRIDAY

“Might God not ordain that his fullest blessings will come to the church when we prevail in prayer with the intensity of fasting? That kind of intensification of prayer is what fasting is. It’s a physical exclamation point at the end of the sentence, “We hunger for you, O God, to come in power.” It’s a cry with our body, not just our soul: “I really mean it, LORD! This much, I hunger for you. I want the manifestation of you yourself more than I want food.”
― John Piper, A Hunger for God: Desiring God through Fasting and Prayer
