Day 21: The More Empowered Life
Our 21 days end on our knees with Paul, asking for power in the inner being and praising the God who can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
Day 20: Lakes or Rivers
A lake holds what it receives. A river passes it on. On Day 20 we look at Ezekiel’s river and at Jesus’ promise of living water, and ask the Spirit to flow through us.
Day 19: The Breath of The Spirit
On the evening of the first Easter Day, Jesus came through locked doors, spoke peace and breathed on His disciples. On Day 19 we receive His peace and His sending.
Day 18: Dying to Multiply
A seed that is kept safe stays alone. A seed that falls into the ground produces a harvest. On Day 18 Jesus explains His own death, and the pattern it sets for everyone who follows Him.
Day 17: Your Astounding Potential
One verse in 2 Timothy describes four generations of believers. On Day 17 we see how far a single faithful life can reach when what we have received is passed on.
Day 16: Make or Build?
Jesus said that He will build His church, and He told us to make disciples. On Day 16 we look at whose job is whose, and why the gates of hell cannot stop what Jesus is building.
Day 15: Multiply and Conquer
The risen Jesus has all authority, and He uses it to send His people. On Day 15 we hear the Great Commission again and ask how a church grows by making disciples who make disciples.
Day 14: Using Both Hands
Nehemiah’s builders worked with one hand and held a weapon in the other. On Day 14 we learn to pray and to work, to build and to stand guard, without dropping either.
Day 13: Prayer Open Doors
Paul was in chains, and he asked for an open door for the gospel, not for his own release. On Day 13 we devote ourselves to prayer and ask God to open doors that nobody can shut.
Day 12: GPS (God’s Positioning Spirit)
God has not left His children to find their own way. On Day 12 we learn how the Holy Spirit leads us, and why His voice is often heard when the church is worshipping and fasting.
Day 11: Expecting the Supernatural
Paul did not rely on clever words. His message came with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power. On Day 11 we ask God to do what only He can do, so that faith rests on Him.
Day 10: Sitting High
Where you sit changes what you see. On Day 10 we learn that God has raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him, and that we pray from His victory and not towards it.
Day 9: Fire on Your Head
At Pentecost the fire of God rested on each believer in the room, not on a chosen few. On Day 9 we look at what happened that morning and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us in the same way.
Day 8: The Final Promise
The last thing Jesus said before He ascended was a promise: you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. On Day 8 we see what that power is for, and that the promise is still open.
Day 7: Fanning Your Flame
A fire that is left alone dies down. On Day 7 Paul tells a timid young leader to fan into flame the gift God has put in him, because the Spirit gives power, love and self-discipline.
Day 6: Empowerment
Good intentions are not enough to live for God. On Day 6 we ask Him to do by His power what we cannot do by ours, and to finish every good thing that faith has started.
Day 5: Victory Over Satan Through Prayer
We have a real enemy, and God has given us real armour. On Day 5 we put on what Christ has provided and learn to pray in the Spirit on every occasion.
Day 4: Submission to God’s Mission
Paul prays one thing for a young church: that they would be filled with the knowledge of God’s will. On Day 4 we pray it for ourselves, and we see what a life given to God’s mission produces.
Day 3: The One-Seat Throne
There is room for only one on the throne of a human heart. On Day 3 Moses tells us what God asks of His people, and why every command He gives is for our own good.
Day 2: Redefining Awesome
We call a meal or a goal awesome. Psalm 68 gives the word back its weight. On Day 2 we worship the God whose power is in the heavens, and who gives that power to His people.
