January - 2016
"But I give myself unto prayer" Psalm 109:4
Considerations to pray for: world, nation, state, county, city, church, family (families) and our own heart.
World
- revival;
- our IMB missionaries, bring before the Lord those that are serving & the several hundred that may need to return to limited funding; pray for the financial support and filling of the Holy Spirit;
-pray against evil being afflicted of ISIS; salvation of these Muslims;
-pray against Boko Haran and evil in Nigeria region; great atrocities by this man against Christians, churches, women and children;
Nation
-great need of revival to come to churches in our nation;
-330 million population; over 300 million lost and without Christ;
-racial unrest and great conflict in fabric of our society;
-drug epidemic sweeping across our nation; (prescription drugs & drugs on streets)
-pray for leaders and courts;
-pray against evil that lies in wait to be used of Satan; we saw much evil in public shootings and terror attacks;
-pray for cities of New Orleans, ST. Louis, Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, DC that had record number of homicides in 2015;
State
-revival for our state;
-1.8 million; 1.4 without Christ;
-drug epidemic;
-families in great need physically, emotionally and spiritually;
-legislation to support churches, pastors in marriages against lawsuits; pray for the new year agenda of house of delegates, Senate and Governor;
Cities
-revival;
-local issues - drugs, families, schools, etc.
-unity among churches;
-pray for protection and against evil;
-murder-suicides is another epidemic that has grown in recent years affecting many of our local areas;
Churches
-our greatest need is for real revival to come upon the church; upon us individually and corporately;
-holiness to be our mandate; pray against carnality, false religions, lies of the enemy;
-pray for one another, burdens that we carry, pray for unity;
-eternity and spiritual mindedness in this year for our labors for His glory and honoe;
You
-worship of the Lord for salvation, calling, provisions, mercies and His favor;
-confession of sins and repentance of any and all sin that grieves the Holy Spirit from us;
How is your bible reading? May I suggest you use this year to read the Bible through.
How is your prayer life? 'Give yourself unto prayer'; make time(s) to pray alone and with others;
How is your quiet time? Use a good devotional, meditate on the Word and allow for the Spirit ot speak to you for this year. Make a daily habit to be before the throne.

2016 WVCSB - PRAYER
"But I give myself unto prayer" - Psalm 109:4
Greetings,
As we prepare to begin a new year, let us give ourselves unto prayer. Our world is groaning, our nation is accelerating evil, families are coming apart at the seams and the church is without the power of God to do any thing about it. The one thing that we know, is that when God's people prevail in prayer, God's power is evident in the church. We are asking you to consider to join us in making this our theme for 2016, "I give myself unto prayer".
The Christian Life Committee of WVCSB, is desiring to keep you updated on issues that are affecting us in our state, our nation and our churches. We know that each action must be bathed in prayer that will affect our future. We want to keep you up-to-date through 'prayer targets' of how to pray for issues through our legislations, judicial decisions and overall social reactions. Therefore, we will post each month prayer targets to consider for you to individually and corporately to pray for. We desire for us to be joined together in direct response to the promise from Christ, 'If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven." Matt. 18:19
Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
The prayer targets will consist of these 5 areas of interest in relation to Acts 1:8
1. 'Uttermost part of the earth' - our world;
2. 'Samaria' - nation and regions of our nation; for us, east coast & United States;
3. ' Judea' - our state and region; West Virginia & local counties;
4. 'Jerusalem' - city and locale; this includes you respective area of ministry in relation to your church, churches (the body of Christ), associations, etc.
5. 'You' - 'you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses'; Your own personal prayer life, secret closet and meditation before the Lord is only as deep as your intimacy with the Lord your God. No prayer, no power; no power, no prayer; No power directly due to no prayer.
We want to encourage you to consider to implement a new prayer emphasis for 2016. These prayer target, devotions, Scriptures and suggestions are simply a means to employ to help each of us to fulfil Psalm 109:4, 'I give myself unto prayer'.
