Global Day Of Prayer
Ten Days Of Prayer leading up to the Global day of prayer
Day Three
The theme for today is that God would pour out His Spirit on us all.
In the Bible the Spirit of God is often likened to a wind. The wind blows where it wills, has great power, and you can’t see it but you can see its effects. When it is hot outside the wind cools you and refreshes you. If it is really strong it can wake you up when you are sleeping. Wind is often at the beginning of a weather system and brings change and tells you that rain may be coming. Rain is another symbol of God’s spirit in the Bible. Rain washes, helps the crops grow, and quenches thirst.
Isn’t it neat How God uses everyday symbols all around us to help us understand Him better. Makes sense doesn’t it as He made it all anyways!
Activity:
Place a fan in the room that you are praying. Think of people and places that need a fresh wind of the Spirit of God. Write their names on short pieces of ribbon streamers. Then tape them to the front of the fan grill while it isn’t plugged in.
Turn on the fan while you Pray: That the Spirit of God would wake up people all over the world to hear His voice.
That Chrisians all over the world would listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and be God’s hands and feet to share the Good News wherever they go. (If you can’t remember clearly what the Good News is all about then go back to Keys of the Kingdom days 1-3)
That the effects of the Holy Spirit would be seen by every one.
Pray especially for the places and people you wrote on the streamers.
The verse for today is;
“In the last days,” God says, “I will pour out My Spirit on all people” Acts 2:17
