February 2011 Prayer Calendar

“It was the Second Great Awakening (1790–1845) that produced our most powerful student revivals and the prayer movement that sustained them. This outpouring of grace was the fruit of the renewed monthly Concerts of Prayer in the mid-1780s.”
— David Smithers

Live

The first cutting-edge commitment our ministry applies to all our decisions, plans, opportunities, and challenges is that of the lordship of Christ. This is fitting, because Scripture declares that God has given Christ the preeminence in all things.

The book of Hebrews challenges us to consider this Man, this God, who is the perfect reality of all that is holy, innocent, without stain, eternal, sufficient, persevering, faithful, immortal, complete, powerful ... we could go on and on!

What a comfort and security it is, when Christians feel overwhelmed by the pressures of the day, the unceasing details of life, the uncertainties of the times, to meet with this Christ in a quiet place. It is from Him that we draw our life and breath and all that we have. All that is good proceeds from Him, and none of man’s plans can prosper without the permission that comes from His authority.

Have you taken time today to consider our mighty and glorious Savior (Hebrews 12:3), who serves and rules by the power of His indestructible life (Hebrews 7:16 ESV)? The bottom line is, He is all you need. Finding Him, you find everything.

Give

Is there something in your life—a possession, a person, a plan for future good—that you are hesitating to give over to the Lord Jesus?

A youth pastor in Florida forty years ago, Del Fehsenfeld Jr. (our ministry’s founder), felt that his life was completely surrendered to Christ. Except for one area: He just knew that if he gave that area of his life over to Christ’s authority, then the Lord would certainly call him to be a missionary to a specific foreign continent, and he really didn’t want to go there.

One day in a prayer meeting with his youth group (“No pizza, no pop, no party, just a lot of prayer and a lot of power”), Del finally surrendered everything to Jesus, no matter the cost. Instead of sending him away from the U.S., God instead had a ministry for him to his own land; but He wanted Del first to be willing to obey wherever.

Are you withholding something you know God wants you to give? Would you surrender that today to the Lord, the Ruler of all? Will you obey Him and give as He directs, however He commands?
