Position for Day 2 – SIT
Scripture: Ephesians 2: 1 – 10 (Please read)
Theme: GRACE
Daily Verse from Ephesians (ESV)
Ephesians 2: 8 – 9; “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works…”
We pray: May we rest in God’s GRACE, knowing that we are raised and seated with Christ.
Adoration: You are a God who has the authority to give your people GRACE (unmerited favor).
We praise God for the dynamic power released in Jesus’ resurrection and ascension.
Ephesians 1:19–20: that you may know . . . what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
We praise God that Jesus has shared his power, authority, and rest with us.
Ephesians 2:4–6: But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, (ESV)
We praise God for his amazing grace.
Repentance: Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Lord, forgive our self-reliance, and our constant efforts to earn our salvation apart from your grace. Forgive us for reluctance to admit our failures. Thank you for being a good shepherd. Thank you for pursuing us, even in our sinful state. Thank you for being gentle and lowly in heart. We now stop our striving, and enter into the rest of your grace.
Intercession: Matthew 24:14
The Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole earth, as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
- Having experienced the goodness of your saving grace, our hearts are gripped for the 7,400 people groups and 2 billion people who have never heard this good news!
- Lord of the Harvest, send forth laborers into every tribe and nation and to the billions of people who have never heard the name of Jesus or the gospel message.
- Father, let this promise be fulfilled “in our generation.”
- God of Grace, give us wisdom and power to share your gospel with the unreached people in our neighborhood.

Background on why?
What is 10 Days? What would it look like if you took 10 Days and gave them completely to God, setting aside normal patterns of life, work, school, and entertainment? How would it look if your family, your church, and your entire city did the same?
10 Days is consecrated time, holy time, a Sabbath time. It is time for people to commune with God and discover one another in the light of His face. Simply put, life looks different during 10 Days. 10 Days is time set-apart to seek God with mourning, fasting, and repentance.
“Mourning” is a rich biblical word. It is best not to understand it in an overly literalistic way (as in a funeral) but as a time of humbling ourselves, and aligning our hearts with God’s ways, and reckoning with the glories of Jesus Christ and the brokenness of this present age.
“Fasting” can involve many kinds of fasts, but we recommend a significant fast from both food (a Daniel, Juice, or Water fast) and entertainment and media.
“Repentance” has to do not only with confessing and acknowledging sin, but also with “turning” and “changing our minds” so that we not only turn from sin but also turn toward righteousness and the Kingdom of God.
“And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn if the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.” Matthew 9:15
Vision:
Uniting the Body of Christ in a set-apart season to “Stop Cities” forming a “Global Upper-Room” of worship, prayer, repentance, and fasting rooted in the fall Biblical feasts.
Purpose:
- Declaring the Worth of Jesus Christ, in the Power of the Holy Spirit, to the Glory of God the Father through an extravagant, united, sustained season of prayer and worship.
- Spiritual Renewal and Transformation of individuals and regions through Humility,
Worship, seeking God’s Face, and Repentance.
- Intercessory Prayer for the fulfillment of Scriptural promises.
- “Mourning” (Longing) for the return of the Bridegroom (Matthew 9:15)
Three Words. This year’s prayer guide is patterned after Nee’s most famous work, Sit, Walk, Stand. In this short commentary, Nee summarizes Paul’s entire letter to the Ephesians in three words:
- SIT: Our Position in Christ: (Ephesians 1-3)
“[God] raised us up with [Christ] and seated us with him in the heavenly places” (2:6)
- WALK: Our Life in the World: (Ephesians 4:1-6:9)
“Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called” (4:1)
- STAND: Our Attitude to the Enemy: (Ephesians 6:10-24)
“Stand against the schemes of the devil” (6:11)
