40 Days of Prayer-Day 25

40 Days of Prayer-Day 25
Many have been burdened by their Christian walk. They have been sporadic in obedience and unfruitful/unfaithful in service, yet longing for a consistently faithful walk with Jesus. All the time struggling with besetting sins which seem to win the battle more often than not. Prayer and bible study often doesn’t bring the victory longed for and a life of continual victory over sin seems impossible. But victory is possible with Christ living in us. This simple truth means that our joy in the Lord can be deep and abiding, our lives consistently victorious over besetting sins. God is calling each one of us to this amazing experience in Christ because Jesus is returning soon and when He does, those who are looking for Him will be like Him. 1 John 3:2.  Our daily experience will become one of complete victory in Christ “For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted. He left his case in the hands of God.” 1 Peter 2:21-21 NLT.  God is calling us to a much higher experience with Him than we have ever had. God is offering us a complete union with Christ. Col. 1:27. PRAYER: Father baptize us with your Holy Spirit and bring truth and revival into our lives and churches. Open my understanding to your will that Christ abide in me. Arise in our midst and reveal the glory of your character through us. Draw me and all those around me and in my community to the light of truth.
