Ten Days of Prayer – Day One

The Seventh-day Adventist world church joins together starting today for ten days of prayer.

Prayer Theme: Abiding in Christ—Life More Abundant

During the Ten Days of Prayer 2016, we will be praying for the Holy Spirit to teach us how we can abide in Christ and
receive the “life more abundant.” The apostle Paul challenges believers to “be filled with the Spirit” (Eph. 5:18), “that He
would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to
comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which
passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:16-19).

January 6, 2016- Day 1—Our Greatest Need: The Holy Spirit

“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Luke 11:13

Let us all choose seven people to pray for during the next ten days.   Friends, family, coworkers- whomever the Lord leads you to pray for.  Pray that the Holy Spirit will lead these seven people to abide in Christ.  Ask God to show you how to reach out to these seven people.

We may look up through nature to nature‘s God. In the beautiful, lofty trees, the shrubs, the flowers, God reveals His character. He is to be compared to the most beautiful lilies and roses and pinks. I love to look upon the things of God in nature, for the Lord impresses upon them His character. In love to us He has given them, and He means that we shall have pleasure in them. Then let us not worship the beautiful things in nature, but let us look up through them to nature‘s God, and be led to worship the Giver. Let these beautiful ministries of love answer the purpose of God, and draw our hearts to Him, to be filled with the beauties of His character, and adore His goodness, His compassion, His inexpressible love.
