Position for Day 6 – WALK

Scripture: Ephesians 4: 17 – 24; 5: 3 -14 (Please read)

Theme: LIGHT

Daily Verse from Ephesians (ESV)

5:8: For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

We pray: May we walk as children of the LIGHT, putting off the old self and putting on the new.

Adoration: You are a God who dwells in unapproachable LIGHT (1 Timothy 6:15-16).

[Our Lord Jesus Christ] . . . is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

Repentance: Mark 8:34; 1 John 1:6,9

Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” If we say that we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We love darkness, rather than the light! Reveal our sins, bring them into the light, and help us to confess them!

Ephesians 4:22–24: . . . Put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and . . . be renewed in the spirit of your minds. . . Put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

[Take time for silent confession].

Intercession: Psalm 43:3

Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!

Pray for the sources of light in your community.

for churches, for Christian radio stations
for schools, Christian schools, and home schools
for Christian ministries, for podcasts, for Christian art and media producers.
for web pages dedicated to sharing God’s word.
for Christians who work in any type of job.
for [fill in the blank], which is a source of light in our town.

Interactive Exercise:

Find another believer, or a group of believers, that you can encourage. Say, “I recognized the light of Christ in you this week (or tonight) when you . . .” Remember Paul’s words in 1 Thess. 5:11: “Encourage one another and build each other up.”

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)
