Welcome to this issue of one24worship - Because worship is a daily lifestyle, one 24-hour day at a time, not just a weekly event.
one24worship is a weekly offering of inspiration, ideas, and insights... 1-2-4: one verse, two quotes, and four observations at a time.
At least a part of what it means to live daily as a one24worshiper is that such a lifestyle requires our humble dependence upon God’s grace, an eternal verses a temporal focus, and a sincere self awareness.
That’s the aim of this week’s one24worship.
Enjoy!
David

Excerpt: “That’s probably been the most important thing the Lord has done—teaching us to trust Him in every area of the ministry and finding out that He’s sufficient.”
Excerpt: “Fervency in prayer is about praying daily, praying passionately, praying in faith, and praying without competing distractions. So, in light of the exceptional examples of fervency in prayer mentioned in Scripture and the obvious examples in history, is it still possible for ordinary Christians to pray with fervency?
The answer is yes, but fervent prayer is never ordinary!”
Excerpt: “The ‘Revival Generation’ curriculum is designed to help leaders walk students through how to establish deep roots in their faith as they respond to the ways God has been moving over the last year.
Eight video sessions and the corresponding study tell the stories of individuals who took personal revival seriously in their own lives and the ways their response generated incredible momentum for the sake of the Gospel going forward in North America and around the world.”
“Don’t stop praying / Don’t stop calling on Jesus’ name / Keep on pounding on heaven’s door / Let your knees wear out the floor / Don’t stop believing / ‘Cause mountains move with just a little faith / And your Father’s heard every single word you’re saying / So, don’t stop praying.”
“A lot of us are not willing to take the place that God’s assigned to us and therein to be content and to be at peace with God’s decision.” Brother Butch Ikels
