THINK VICTORY! SPENDING TIME WITH HIM

SPENDING TIME WITH HIM

Jan, Zach and me have had three wonderful days at Ocean City with some very dear friends. It has been a very refreshing time and I have even finished two books!

I came across this very helpful little outline on spending time with God and thought it would be helpful to you.

HOW TO SPEND AN HOUR WITH GOD

Give five minutes to each of the following twelve activities:

1. Praise the Lord for who HE is (Hebrews 13:15)

2. Read the Word (Psalm 119:105).

3. Meditate on what you have just read (Joshua 1:8).

4. Confess your sins and shortcomings (1 John 1:9).

5. Intercede for others (1 Samuel 12:18).

6. Listen for God's voice (Psalm 46:10).

7. Pray using the language of the Word (Psalm 22:1)

8. Petition God for your own needs (James 4:2).

9. Pray for your Pastor (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13).

10. Pray for your church (Ephesians 5:25).

11. Pray for your public and corporate leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-8).

12. Give thanks. (Psalm 136)

When was the last time you spent some significant time alone with HIM?
Today is a good day to start.

Great quote: "The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work and from prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray!" - Samuel Chadwick
