Join us for a Day of Prayer and Praise to bring the Glory of God back into our nation and set our hearts on Fire. Day of Prayer for Britain, 31 August 2019, The SSE Arena, Wembley: 10.00-18.00.
God identifies with you
God identifies with you. The Scripture speaks about taking up your cross and following Jesus - the cross is not just us identifying with Him, but Jesus identifying with us. When I was in prison for Bible smuggling, I felt so abandoned by God. In the Lord’s Prayer it says, ‘Who is in heaven…’, I argued, “You are in heaven, but I am in a stinking filthy cell, don’t You understand?” Then God reminded me of the truth: He sent His Son to die a criminal’s death. Jesus understood my pain - He identified with my suffering.
When heaven is shut
There comes a time in all our lives when heaven feels shut. We’ve prayed for deliverance, but the situation never improves, or worse, if there is an answer, God says ‘no’. How do we pray in these situations? It is in these times we realise the truth contained in the Lord’s Prayer - He does understand, He does care, He’s our Father.
Glory of heaven on earth
God desires to reveal His glory here on earth. It doesn’t matter whether you are in a prison cell or in a hospital ward, as you begin to worship the Lord His glory will fill the room as He inhabits your praises. “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God” (Revelation 21:3).
I know who Jesus is
God cares about you
Does God care about me?
“Lord, don’t You care about us?” Facing a life-threatening storm, the disciples were just like us; although they did the right thing by going straight to Jesus, the problem was, Jesus was asleep! Yet God does care! He knows our circumstances. He’s acquainted with all our ways. You are fully know and loved by God.
