Prayer meeting notes from Westview Baptist 9/2

As we gathered together this Tuesday, Pastor Aaron Miller led us to a time of self-reflection using Psalm 139:23-24, and 1 Thes. 4:1-8 and the opened us in prayer. The focal passage for our time together was Psalm 24:3-6. The goal this evening was that God's people assembled at "Broken Before the Throne" will be prepared with "Clean Hands and a pure heart" for the real work ahead.

Some prayer points--

• "Submit therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purif your hearts, you doubleminded" James 4:7-8
• Pray that the Lord would expose the sin in our lives and pray that we would be quick to cleanse our hands, repent and purifyour hearts. Psalm 51:1-2
• Pray that we would not be doublminded in any way. Ask God to expose any impurities, deceitfulness of hard-hearedness. Pray "Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way." Psalm 139:23-24

We sought God's lead in all we did this evening. We prayed for God's glory--glorify your Name O Lord. Some topics touched in prayer: We settle for so little and pray with little to no faith and work in our own strength. We desire to fufill our lusts vs. God's will. We prayed for hearts to be prepared for the conference -- towards repentance, obedience and encouragement , as well as for salvation of the deceived. We prayed for a return to the fear of God and for revival/awakening.

Prayer was given for speakers of BBtT for a humble and and holy walk and strong in Christ in the face of temptations. Also, submission to one another, presence and power of HS, protection from unrighteousness.
