The Day the Sun Stood Still @ 10:27 PM
AUDACIOUS PRAYER TO AN AUDACIOUS GODDefinition of audacious: Extremely bold or daring; recklessly; fearlessJoshua 10:7-14 (New International Version)7 So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army, including all the best fighting men. 8 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."9 After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. 10 The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great victory at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah. 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky, and more of them died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.12 On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel:"O sun, stand still over Gibeon,O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."13 So the sun stood still,and the moon stopped,till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,as it is written in the Book of Jashar.The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!#1. AUDACITYThe prayers that we pray must be BIG enough to blame God for!Pray prayers that are so BIG and HIGH that it is impossible with us, but all will know that IT MUST BE GOD!1 John 5:14"This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we ask for anything according to His will, He hears us."Hebrews 4:16"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need".#2. ACCURACYThe thing you are praying should be CLEAR ENOUGH TO ASK GOD FOR.A good prayer has to be SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE
#3. ACTIONThe thing you are asking God for has to be GREAT ENOUGH TO FIGHT HARD FOR!Take action that corresponds with the faith we asked in.As we do the natural, God will do the super! This results in the SUPERNATURAL :DPray and pursue! And for every action we take, God will do more!Proverbs 21: 31"The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD."I've made an audacious prayer to our audacious God, how about you?
Have a good week ahead people!31 Nov 2009
