Chapter 19

"Give yourself, and live, to do the works of Christ and you will learn to pray and so as to obtain wonderful answers to prayer. Give yourself, and live, to pray, and you will learn to do the works He did, and greater works. With disciples full of faith in Himself, and bold in prayer to ask great things, Christ can conquer the world."

This points to what we heard from Steve and what I mentioned on Monday: We must both pray and act. We cannot use prayer as a shield to hide from obeying the commandments of God to go and advance His Kingdom. Yet, we also cannot advance His kindgom with our actions if they are not birthed in and covered by prayer. Our goal is avoid being powerless and prayerless.

As we have fasted and prayed, we have petitioned God for many things. Next week, we will go and seek to stand upon the promises and goodness of God that we have sensed in the place of prayer. I believe that this span of time is extremely important, because we are walking in the balance and blessing of what James spoke of concerning 'faith' and 'works.' Let us continue to seek Him and to also move with Him in the things that He has called us to - it's gonna be good!
