DAY 01 - Personal + Community Revival
THE FIRE OF PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY REVIVAL IS FOUND IN REKINDLING THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US AND JESUS.
THERE IS NO DOUBT WE HAVE HIS UNDIVIDED ATTENTION BUT OFTEN WE BUSY OURSELVES WITH LIVING AND FORGET WHERE LIFE REALLY COMES FROM
LORD, I HAVE HEARD OF YOUR FAME;
I STAND IN AWE OF YOUR DEEDS, LORD.
REPEAT THEM IN OUR DAY,
IN OUR TIME MAKE THEM KNOWN;
IN WRATH REMEMBER MERCY. - HABAKKUK 3:2
DAY 02 - Unity in the Body of Christ
A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND. IF YOU BELONG TO CHROST WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM. THE PILLARS OF UNITY ARE HUMILITY, PASSION COMMUNICATION, SERVANTHOOD & THANKFULNESS. PRAY THAT THESE FIVE PILLARS ABOUND IN OUR LOCAL FELLOWSHIP & IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.
I APPEAL TO YOU, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT ALL OF YOU AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER IN WHAT YOU SAY AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU, BUT THAT YOU BE PERFECTLY UNITED IN MIND AND THOUGHT. - 1 CORINTHIANS 1:10
DAY 03 - Clean Hands + Pure Heart
THE SCRIPTURE ASKS THE QUESTION, WHO SHALL ASCEND TO THE HILL OF THE LORD?
THE ANSWER IS FOUND IN
PSALM 24:4 HE THAT HATH CLEAN HANDS, AND A PURE HEART; WHO HATH NOT LIFTED UP HIS SOUL UNTO VANITY, NOR SWORN DECEITFULLY.
YOUR HANDS MAY NOT BE REACHING FOR EVIL THINGS BUT IT COULD BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE LORD. OUR HANDS OFTEN REACH FOR WHAT OUR HEARTS LONGS FOR. TODAY, WE REACH FOR THE LORD WITH CLEAN HANDS AND A PURE HEART (BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS). WE BREAK EVERY OATH OR COVENANT THAT WE MAY HAVE SWORN IN DECEIT, FRAUD OR GUILE.
DAY 04 - The Gifts of God be Stirred Up
THE APOSTLE PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY TO STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD THAT WAS IN HIM. IT’S POSSIBLE FOR BELIEVERS TO SPEND YEARS AFTER BEING BORN AGAIN WITH DORMANT GIFTS. THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS EACH MEMBER TO BE STRONG IN FAITH AND FUNCTION.
ASK THE LORD TO GIVE YOU GRACE TO REKINDLE EVERY GIFT (FIRE) HAS BEEN NEGLECTED AND IS DORMANT.
DAY 05 - Hope in Christ — Today we are believing He will turn circumstances to our good
HARDSHIP’S WILL COME BUT GOD PROMISE’S TO MAKE IT WORK TO OUR ADVANTAGE.
“AND NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS ALSO: KNOWING THAT TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE; AND PATIENCE, EXPERIENCE; AND EXPERIENCE, HOPE: AND HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO US.”
ROMANS 5:3-5
DAY 06 - Praying for Conflict in the Middle East
WE’RE PRAYING FOR PHYSICAL SAFETY AND FOR A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST’S FINISHED WORK ON THE CROSS. PAUL WRITES THIS IN
“BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED. FOR I BEAR THEM RECORD THAT THEY HAVE A ZEAL OF GOD, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. FOR THEY BEING IGNORANT OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND GOING ABOUT TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, HAVE NOT SUBMITTED THEMSELVES UNTO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH.”
ROMANS 10:1-4
DAY 07 - Forgiveness
If we want to walk in the presence of God, and walk in the blessing of God we have no right to be offended with people. Jesus just doesn’t have Love. Jesus is LOVE! We must love people like Jesus! It is time to let go of the pain of unforgiveness and hate. Forgive those that have hurt you and live in the fullness of Christ! Today unleash the power of God by forgiving those who have hurt you and pray for them. Prayer: Dear God search my heart today. Is there anyone that I need to forgive? Give me the power to let go of that hurt and forgive them in Jesus Name! Amen!
SEARCH ME, O GOD, AND KNOW MY HEART! TRY ME AND KNOW MY THOUGHTS!“
PSALM 139:23

DAY 08 - Armor of God
BELT OF TRUTH-THE BELIEVER'S INTEGRITY
IN CHRISTIAN ARMOR, IT IS THE INTEGRITY THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING ELSE TOGETHER. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE INTEGRITY IN THE BIG AND SMALL THINGS OF YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE THE BATTLE. WOULD PEOPLE SAY THAT YOU ARE A WOMAN OR MAN OF INTEGRITY? IF NOT, THEN YOU CANNOT WIN THE BATTLE.
BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS-THE BELIEVER'S PURITY
THE ENEMY WANTS TO ATTACK YOU NOT ONLY WITH LIES, BUT ALSO WITH IMPURITY. HE WANTS YOU TO READ FILTHY MAGAZINES, WATCH IMMORAL MOVIES, AND ENGAGE IN ALL TEMPTATIONS OF THE FLESH. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT SATAN WANTS TO GET INTO YOUR HEART AND MIND. HE'S LOOKING FOR A CRACK IN YOUR ARMOR. AND DON'T BE FOOLED. SATAN KNOWS WHERE THAT CRACK IS. IS YOUR HEART PURE BEFORE GOD? IF NOT, THEN YOU CANNOT WIN THE BATTLE.
SHOES OF PEACE-THE BELIEVER'S TRANQUILITY
UNLESS YOU HAVE A SOLID FOOTING OF PEACE, YOU CAN NEVER MAKE WAR. SOUNDS LIKE A CONTRADICTION, DOESN'T IT? WHEN SATAN COMES AGAINST YOUR TRANQUILITY, HE THROWS OUT STONES AND BRIARS OF DOUBTS AND DISCOURAGEMENT TO CAUSE YOU TO STUMBLE.
SHIELD OF FAITH-THE BELIEVER'S CERTAINTY
SATAN IS GOING TO FIRE FLAMING ARROWS OF DOUBT AT YOU. HE WANTS TO PLACE SUBTLE DOUBTS IN YOUR MIND ABOUT GOD AND HIS TRUTH. HE KNOWS A SPARK CAN IGNITE A BIG FIRE. YOU WILL NEED TO FEED YOUR FAITH AND STARVE YOUR DOUBTS.
HELMET OF SALVATION-THE BELIEVER'S SANITY
HELMET OF SALVATION GUARDS YOUR MIND FROM THE ATTACKS THE ENEMY LAUNCHES ON YOUR MIND.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU TO HAVE AT ALL TIMES IS AN ASSURANCE OF YOUR SALVATION.
SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
THE WORD OF GOD - WHEN WE ARE TEMPTED, THE MOST EFFECTIVE WEAPON THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO US AS BELIEVERS IS THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.

JOHN 10:10, 2 COR. 10:3-5, EPH. 6:10-18
DAY 09 - Examine Our Hearts
If we are struggling with speaking lies, gossip, & creating strife among people, we must check our heart. We must make sure our heart is in-tune with God. If our heart is right, our tongue will be right. Words hold immense power; they possess the ability to both heal and harm, to curse and bless, to unify and divide. The Bible consistently emphasizes the significance of employing uplifting language over engaging in backbiting. Speaking less often is preferable. Filter your words, & speak only blessings. Build each other up instead of tearing each other down. Hold your hand over your mouth when you feel the urge to speak negatively about others. Biting your tongue is better than blabbering continuously and slandering others.Be Careful with what you say; think about it first & pray!

DAY 10 - How We Live
Being filled with the Spirit of God is so essential.
”SO BE CAREFUL HOW YOU LIVE. DON’T LIVE LIKE FOOLS, BUT LIKE THOSE WHO ARE WISE. MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY IN THESE EVIL DAYS. DON’T ACT THOUGHTLESSLY, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD WANTS YOU TO DO. DON’T BE DRUNK WITH WINE, BECAUSE THAT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. INSTEAD, BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, SINGING PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS AMONG YOURSELVES, AND MAKING MUSIC TO THE LORD IN YOUR HEARTS. AND GIVE THANKS FOR EVERYTHING TO GOD THE FATHER IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.“
EPHESIANS 5:15-20

DAY 11 - God’s There The First
Time You Call
“GOD SAID TO TELL YOU THAT HE WAS THERE THE FIRST TIME YOU CALLED HIM THIS MORNING!" - JANE TUTEN
I KNOW TO CALL TO GOD FOR HELP ONE TIME AND I AM CONFIDENT HE IS THERE! GOD IS A MOST PRESENT HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
THEN YOU WILL CALL, AND THE LORD WILL ANSWER; YOU WILL CRY FOR HELP, AND HE WILL SAY: HERE AM I.
ISAIAH 58:9
”GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, ALWAYS READY TO HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.“
PSALMS 46:1
DAY 12 - PERSONAL FINANCES
Matthew 6:25-26 - “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?
Also read Philippians 4:19
DAY 13 - CHURCH FINANCES
2 Corinthians 9:7-9 - You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
DAY 14 - ESTABLISH COVENANT
Deuteronomy 8:18 - Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.
DAY 15 - SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE
Ephesians 5:6-10 - You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the anger of God will fall on all who disobey him. Don’t participate in the things these people do. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.
DAY 16 - RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
1 Peter 4:8 - Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
John 13:34 - So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
DAY 17 - MENTAL HEALTH
Romans 12:2 - Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
DAY 18 - CEDARTOWN
DEAR GOD, we pray right now for the city of cedartown, Ga. We thank you for the burden that You have given our church—for your city and its people. We know you work all things together for the good of those who love You & we are believing that all things will work for the best possible future in Cedartown. Today we pray for city leadership, schools, work forces and we pray against any evil things that would come up against Cedartown.
“AND WE KNOW THAT GOD CAUSES EVERYTHING TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE FOR THEM.”
ROMANS 8:28 NLT
DAY 19 - CREATIVITY
FATHER GOD WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL CREATOR, AND THAT CREATIVITY IS NOT JUST FOR PEOPLE ON THE FRINGES OF SOCIETY OR ARTISTS, BUT THAT IT TAKES A CREATIVE MIND TO BE A ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. WE PRAY YOUR BRAND OF CREATIVITY OVER FATHERS & MOTHERS, SONS & DAUGHTERS, FRIENDS & PEERS. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US TODAY THAT CREATIVITY IS A NATURAL RESULT OF OUR SPIRITUALITY AND CONNECTION TO YOU - THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.
THE LORD HAS GIVEN THEM SPECIAL SKILLS AS ENGRAVERS, DESIGNERS, EMBROIDERERS IN BLUE, PURPLE, AND SCARLET THREAD ON FINE LINEN CLOTH, AND WEAVERS. THEY EXCEL AS CRAFTSMEN AND AS DESIGNERS.
EXODUS 35:35
DAY 20 - REST
JESUS WE PRAY TODAY THAT WE FIND TRUE REST AND PEACE IN YOU. THE TYPE OF REST THAT NO GOOD AMOUNT OF SLEEP OR RELAXATION CAN GIVE A PERSON, BUT THE TYPE THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT IS TO COME. LET ALL OF OUR HOPE BE IN YOU, AND ONLY YOU. AS BELIEVERS IN JESUS WE ARE GIVEN A ‘light burden’ as we give our father the heavy burdens of life. thank you lord, for a rest and a peace that passes understanding in 2024!
FOR MY YOKE IS EASY TO BEAR, AND THE BURDEN I GIVE YOU IS LIGHT.”
MATTHEW 11:30
DAY 21 - THE FUTURE
Dear God, we pray today for the strength to step into the future that you have created for us. Let us be on the same page as the spirit of God for what is to come. Jesus, let us be your instruments of change, and let nothing stop the church from advancing... having Jesus always be at the core of everything we do. Today we pray for the future of CLCC - THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
THAT IS WHAT THE SCRIPTURES MEAN WHEN THEY SAY,
“NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR HAS HEARD,
AND NO MIND HAS IMAGINED
WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”
