Revival 3.0

William Wilberforce - Clapham, London
“O Lord, reassure me with your quickening Spirit; without You I can do nothing.

Mortify in me all ambition, vanity, vainglory, worldliness, pride, selfishness, and resistance from God, and fill me with love, peace and all the fruits of the Spirit.

O Lord, I know not who I am, but to You I flee for refuge.

I would surrender myself to you, trusting your precious promises and against hope believing in hope.”

Psalm 91:4
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Isaiah 58:6-9
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
 
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
 
Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

Prayer
Lord, teach us to pray and fast in the way you desire together as a community but also in secret, so as not to gain the praise of others, and through deeds of justice, so as to care for those in need. May we learn to imitate those who have gone before us.
Amen
