Time...Schedule It! 

In an endeavor to manage time wisely, to "redeem it" as the Scriptures say, it becomes obvious that if there is no plan, too much time is wasted. The old saying, "Plan your work, work your plan," is appropriate because these six words encompass the whole concept of scheduling.
 
Go to bed early  - allow yourself a good amount of rest. It's refreshing!
 
Get up early  - the hours around sunrise are peaceful and quiet and there are few interruptions. Phones are silent, the children are asleep, the hustle and bustle of the morning rush is still hours away. Jesus often slipped away during these early hours to pray and find strength for the day ahead, so you're in good company!
 
Pray your day  - consider what needs to be accomplished today. Pray God's will in each item. Ask for wisdom and grace to deal with each situation as it arises. As you do this, make a schedule of what you need to do. Allot time for short periods of rest.
 
Schedule time for the Word  - your mind will be clearer after prayer, which makes the atmosphere ideal for study of the Word. Character, topical, devotional, guided, and Spirit-led devotions are possible study types. You can spend several days on one word, studying concordances and your Bible's center references. (Example word studies: godliness, graciousness, hope...)
 
Redeem idle time  - driving, housework, and gardening keep your hands busy yet allow your mind to think of other things. Utilize this golden opportunity to listen to the Bible on cd's or mp3's and/or speak your meditative thoughts into a recorder. [Note: You can download a voice recorder app onto your cellphone.]
 
Maintain a prayer atmosphere  - all day! Sentences prayed earnestly are valuable. They center your mind and focus and can be prayed anytime, anywhere. In this way you embrace Paul's exhortation to "Pray without ceasing."
 
Keep the lines of communication open  - God wants to hear your voice. His heart yearns toward you, wanting fellowship and communion with you. He will reveal more of Himself as you draw ever closer to Him.
 
Give it a try! For seven days, utilize these seven steps to work out a daily schedule. Keep it with you and follow it throughout the day. At the end of each day, sit down and evaluate your schedule. See what worked and what didn't. Adjust accordingly and try again. God has promised to bless every effort to draw nigh to Him, saying that if you do, He will draw nigh to you... Remember!"...He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6b).

Prayer Guide for the Spiritual Captive  
 
Prayers for the spiritual captive should be passionate prayers. Interceding for others in need should be done with prayers that pour out of you as the cries of a mother in travail (Isaiah 26:16-17). As you pray for the spiritual captive, pray earnestly and specifically for them by name and for their specific needs.
 
This prayer guide is based on the actions of the church in Acts 12 as they prayed for Peter who was bound in chains in prison. Their continuous prayers led to his miraculous release. May we follow their lead and pray accordingly.
 
Concerning the Spiritual Captive:
  • Pray for understanding and their eyes to be opened to see truth, to see their true condition, and to see the Lord's hand of help reaching for them.
  • Pray for the Lord to "Wake them up" - Shake them - Startle them - Get their attention!
  • Pray for the Lord to speak to them - Speak to their soul, their need, their heart. 
  • Ask the Lord to bring them to the point of repentance - Causing them to cast off all they used to be - "Draw them to You! Call them to follow You!"
  • Pray that the Lord would do a miraculous work in them that even they can't believe! 
  • Specifically name a miracle they need.
  • Pray for the spiritual prison doors to be opened around them, for their chains to be loosed, and for them to be set free. Ask Jesus to remove any obstacles that stand in the way of their victory. "Order their steps with Your Word, dear Lord!" 
  • Pray for the Lord to give them boldness to tell others about their deliverance and for the Kingdom to grow through their testimony. 
  • In an act of faith, declare victory in their life - Instruct their chains to break, their prison doors to open, their pathway of life to be made straight. Pray in the authority of the Word of God. Quote scriptures that are applicable to their situation.  
  • Thank God for all He is doing in their life. Rejoice over their salvation!
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" 
(James 5:16).

Kevin Howard
Portuguese Evangelism Ministry Coordinator
It is imperative that we pray for evangelists. We will focus on praying for evangelists each week. The  Evangelist Ministry recognizes and promotes the Biblical role of evangelist as stated in Ephesians 4:11-12, "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The Evangelist Ministry is dedicated to preaching the gospel and effectively ministering by partnering with pastors worldwide to gather vision, faith, and harvest, saving the lost, and edifying the church. Pastors can confidently book a licensed, enrolled evangelist that will bless their church. Doug Klinedinst  is the ministry coordinator.  This week let's pray for all evangelists!
