FORTY DAYS OF SEEKING GOD...
PRAYING FOR REVIVAL, REPENTANCE & MAJOR ELECTIONS
Dr. Gregory Frizzell, Prayer and Spiritual Awakening Specialist for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, calls all Oklahoma Baptists to unite in a forty-day period of earnestly seeking God by praying for revival, repentance and upcoming elections, starting on September 22 and continuing through October 31, 2010.
In his sermon on the mount Jesus urged people to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matthew 6:33a). Oh, how we need to make this a part of our daily agenda! Only by earnest, genuine, heart-felt praying can we experience a sweeping spiritual awakening that will prevent today's moral and social decline from a total collapse.
Why 40 days of prayer? Why now? Because...
1. There is a strong sense God is calling His people to seek His face as never before. Current conditions have exploded past all previous points of urgency.
2. God's name is being shamed and the Gospel hindered by spiritual apathy, conformity with the world, and weakness in churches.
3. Spiritual, moral, economic and social trends reflect an unparalleled desperation for God's intervention.
4. We are approaching a very important election of government leaders on November 2nd.
Dr. Frizzell recently completed a booklet, "Forty Days of Seeking God: Praying for Revival, Repentance and Major Elections", which is available through his office at a small cost. To order a copy call his secretary, Pat Jones, at 405-942-3800, extension 4517. This booklet is a unique tool to guide believers in 40 days of seeking God. Order your copy today! Then pray, pray, pray 40 days! | Leflore Baptist Association 106 Flanagan St. Suite A Poteau, Oklahoma 74953 Telephone: 918-647-8271
