This is the audio from the December 4, 2023 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.”
Galatians 4:4-5 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will be about recognizing the fullness of time and how we ought to respond to God.  When I think about God acting throughout history at just the right time, it is generally hindsight which makes that clear.  As we enter the Christmas season, we find the arrival of Jesus was not some haphazard event but rather one that had been carefully planned by God to happen at just the right time.  As you pray this week, ask God to help you understand the current times so that you would know what to do.  Pray for courage to make the most of the time which God has given you.  Pray not only for a general understanding of the times, but also pray each day for a greater awareness of what it is time for that day.  Pray each day for a godly commitment to do the things which need to be done now and for the patience to wait upon the Lord regarding the times He says to wait.  Pray that you would trust God to do all things at the right time.

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Mark 1:15 (NIV)

Pray that you would live with each moment of your life being a time to believe.  Pray that your belief in the good news of Jesus would always lead you to repent.  Pray about how you take the good news to others in a way that they would understand the time is now.
