40 Day Prayer Journey

• The Word: Genesis 1-2:3; Psalm 24

  Believe it: The earth is the Lord’s. After all he created it and us. We are his creation and he has made us in his image. All of the wonderful sights and sounds of nature were created by our Lord. Nothing that happens, does so without him being aware of it. He is involved in our lives.

  Prayer: God created all of us. Pick a country and pray that these people might realize that the Lord is the true God, and Christ the only Saviour.

• The Word: Revelation 5:6-14

  Believe it: The Lamb is our centre. Christ is the one whom we love, and more than that is the one who loved us so much that he gave his own life for us. We are on a mission because we love him. Loving God; loving others. That is the Christian mandate.

  Prayer: Pray that the Church in Canada will pick up the mission and serve the global Church reaching out to the nations within Canada and outside.

• The Word: Romans 10: 6-15

  Believe it: The Scriptures tell us that it is by believing in our heart and telling others of our faith that our salvation is confirmed (v.9). The Scripture also affirms for us that no one who believes in Christ will ever be disappointed … This passage also points out how welcome are those who come preaching God’s Good News! For how will people believe if they have not heard about Jesus.

  Prayer: Pray for all the speakers/musicians who will be proclaiming God’s good news at Overflow. Ask God to bless them, anoint them, encourage them, and use them to make His message clear and plain.

• The Word: Acts 11: 1-18, John 3:16

  Believe it: These scripture verses remind us that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has no cultural or religious boundaries … “whosoever will” BELIEVE may be saved. Even in the Christian church today, we sometimes are tempted to hide behind our denominational boundaries at the expense of God’s work. God has been using events like Overflow in this generation to counteract that temptation and as a result many young people are finding Christ! Praise the Lord!

  Prayer: Pray that God will help youth/ youth leaders from all denominations to come together at Overflow event in one accord to worship God and bring others to Him. Pray that God will continue to use Overflow to bring unity to the Body of Christ (the Christian church) in Ontario!

• The Word: Matthew 9:27-30; John 9:1-39

  Believe it: On many occasions throughout His ministry on earth, Jesus restored sight to the blind. In these two passages Jesus healed men who believed in His healing power. Jesus also points out an eternal truth in the miracles he performed, “Then Jesus told them, I have come into the world to give sight to those who are spiritually blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind”(John 9:39)

  Prayer: As we reflect on the scripture today let our prayers be twofold as we pray for those coming to Overflow with physical illnesses … may their faith in Jesus healing power bring them a miracle of healing! As well let our prayers be focused on those with spiritual blindness - pray that God will remove the scales from their spiritual eyes and Jesus glory will be unveiled in their lives.

• The Word: Genesis 15: 1-5

  Believe it: When we read of Abram’s mistakes, we are reminded that he was very mortal, yet he believed and trusted in God. It was Abram’s faith and belief in what God told him (v.6) that pegged him ‘righteous.’ A right relationship is based on faith – the belief that God is who he says he is and does what he says he will do. Go outside beneath the nighttime sky and look up into the heavens and count the stars if you can … God’s blessings to those who believe will be like that … too many to count!

  Prayer: Pray for the various events of the Overflow schedule (concerts, breakout sessions, prayer meetings etc.), and as we pray may our faith in God’s outpoured blessings be such that ‘God will consider us righteous on account of our faith.’ Remember the speakers, guests, and bands that will be ministering. Pray for them as well.

• The Word: Jonah 3:1-10

  Believe it: It was God’s plan to destroy the wicked city of Nineveh because of the sinfulness of the people, but when they heard the message of God sent by Jonah they believed him and declared a fast; … Because they believed, God changed His mind and didn’t carry out the plan of destruction.

  Prayer: There are many youth in this Nineveh (St. John’s) who are on a path of destruction … some of whom may attend Overflow… others may be taking part in the ‘downtown’ scene … Let’s pray in earnest for their souls, let’s pray that they will turn from their path of destruction to Jesus! Let’s pray that God will send His angels (it could be you) to minister to them!!! Lord equip us!
