This is the audio from the September 26, 2023 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’”
Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
This week our prayer emphasis will focus on the work God has called us to do as we go about life. It can be easy and convenient to think about discipleship being a task for someone else, but God calls each one of us to be a disciple and to make disciples wherever we go in life. The good news is that God not only tells us what we ought to be doing, He gives us the ability to do it through His Spirit.
“As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’”
Matthew 10:7 (NIV)
As you pray this week, ask God to help you grow in being a disciple at all times and places. Pray that God would help you to see the opportunities in your daily life to proclaim a living faith in Jesus. Pray that the message of Jesus would be evident in your life so that you would have many opportunities to give an answer for the hope that you have.
