FASTING & PRAYER
Tomorrow - April 29, has been set aside as a day of fasting and prayer for Mountain Springs Church.
At the start of the year, we committed to setting time apart each month to seek the Lord corporately. Let's continue to build on that foundation.
Here is our prayer focus and Scripture meditation for this Power Tuesday:
Jeremiah 4:3 (NLT) – "This is what the LORD says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: 'Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns.'”
Take time to reflect and pray through these points:
🔹 1. Pray that you and your family will experience the wonders of God's protection, provision, promotion, and salvation in this season of your life.
Psalm 91:9–11 (ESV) – "Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place—the Most High, who is my refuge—no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."
Philippians 4:19 (ESV) – "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
🔹 2. Pray that God would reveal His plans and purposes for your life, and that He would use you mightily to impact your community.
Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) – "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Matthew 5:14–16 (ESV) – "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden... let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
🔹 3. Pray that Mountain Springs Church will prosper in its mission—to see people refreshed spiritually, connected to their divine source, and growing strong in their salvation.
Psalm 92:12–14 (ESV) – "The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green."
Acts 2:47 (ESV) – "...And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."
🔹 4. Pray for all who serve in various ministries—that they would remain faithful, and be filled with wisdom and understanding to flourish in their service.
Colossians 3:23–24 (ESV) – "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
Isaiah 11:2 (ESV) – "And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD."
🔹 5. Pray for the pastors and leaders of Mountain Springs Church—for God's hand of protection over them and their families.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 (ESV) – "But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."
Isaiah 54:17 (ESV) – "No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment."
🔹 6. Pray for spiritual growth among our members, and for an increase in the number of those God is adding to the church—both builders and seekers.
Ephesians 4:15–16 (ESV) – "Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body... when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."
Acts 2:41 (ESV) – "So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls."
🕊️ As we fast and pray, let's believe God for a fresh plowing of our hearts, ready to bear good fruit for His Kingdom!
Together, let's prepare the ground for a mighty move of God!
