Day 30 - Prayer Journal: It's Your Time!

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." - Isaiah 60:1

Well, it is finally here. Our 30th day of the prayer journal challenge. It has been an enlightening experience. God has given us plenty of revelation, blessings, times of testing, and finally the VICTORY! You are a prayer warrior; you have overcome the enemy with the power of your testimony. God is faithful, and He has a plan for your life.

This morning before the break of dawn, I needed something from my truck. I really wanted to go outside and get the bag that held my possession, but I did not want to face the darkness nor the vicious creatures that arise in the darkest hours. For a second, I opened the door. The sound of creepies and crawlies made me think twice about venturing into darkened territory because I know the enemy waits for our darkness to jump out of the bushes on us. Needless to say, I waited until the sun rose over the eastern sky before stepping outside. It was like a breath of fresh air. In the daylight I could clearly see the path that lie before me. I did not have to worry about being attacked unaware. Instead I had a clear view of where I needed to go, and I was able to go without any difficulty or obstacle. As the sun kissed my face, I smiled at the grace of God that comes with walking in the light.

Just like in our natural lives, we are far better off when we remain in the path of light, which is Jesus. The scripture says that you should arise and shine because your light is come. God has a purpose and a plan for your future. He wants you to stand up and head in the direction that His spirit leads you in and to allow your light to shine because Jesus has entered your life, filled you with His presence, and blessed you with His gifting and abundance. Once you have come to know Jesus and His goodness, you are on assignment to share Christ with those who need a supernatural encounter. The Bible says that the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. God has prepared you and prospered you so that He would be glorified. He has poured His holiness and righteousness into you so that you could be a vessel of honor. It is your season, like Peter, launch out into the deep. Pursue the destiny that God is calling you to. For who the Lord calls, He equips.

Focus
Thank God for the light of Jesus that has entered your life.
Praise God for His glory and His holiness.
Ask God to reveal His purpose and plan for you in this season.
Seek a word from the Lord for your purpose in the life of His people that have been placed on your path.
Give God glory for bringing you through the prayer journal challenge (even if you are behind or just starting day 1, praise Him in advance.)
Pray for God to give you revelation on how He has grown you or pruned you through this prayer journal experience.
Ask God to show you how He wants you to share this experience.

Go back and review the previous prayer journal entries, ask God to show you areas where you struggled and where you excelled. Pray for strength in your challenges, and praise for grace through your victories.

Remember
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. God had a specific purpose for you through this experience. Know that He is calling you to spread the love of Christ, not to allow this word to lie dormant in you. Even though today is the last day of the 30 Days of Prayer (Journal),
continue to journey with the Lord, continue to pray, and if you are lead or were blessed continue to journal. You don't need an entry from me, it was God leading you through His word and He will continue to be faithful as you seek Him. Return to the blog, for daily encouragement and look for future spiritual encounters. We will plan a time to share our experiences in the near future. Please feel free to post a comment on your experience or pass the blog on to someone in need of a word.

Be Blessed!
