THY KINGDOM COME session 8 103<br />
DAY 1 • JAMES 4:7<br />
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.<br />
DAILY<br />
DEVOTIONS<br />
Developing our ability to serve God through<br />
the leading of the Holy Spirit takes time and<br />
persistence as we:<br />
PRAY.<br />
Commit to personal prayer and daily connection<br />
with God. (You may find it helpful to write your<br />
prayers in a journal.) Remember to pray for the<br />
requests shared by your fellow group members.<br />
MEMORIZE.<br />
Reflect on what God is saying by learning a<br />
passage of scripture.<br />
DAILY DEVOTIONS.<br />
Complete the Daily Devotions section. Each<br />
day, you’ll read just one portion of a passage of<br />
Scripture. Give prayerful consideration to what<br />
you learn about God, His Spirit, and His place in<br />
your life. Take your time! Listen to what God is<br />
telling you. Ponder and reflect. Then record your<br />
thoughts, insights, or prayer in the Reflect section<br />
below the verses you read. On the sixth day record<br />
a summary of what you have learned through this<br />
study.<br />
REFLECT:<br />
How does submission to God help us resist sin?<br />
DAY 2 • ISAIAH 54:17<br />
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue<br />
that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their<br />
vindication from me,” declares the Lord.<br />
REFLECT:<br />
There is comfort in knowing that ultimately God’s kingdom will prevail, and evil will<br />
be no more. Ask God for courage to play your part!<br />
DAY 3 • ACTS 1:8<br />
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my<br />
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”<br />
REFLECT:<br />
Our power comes from the Spirit of God, not from ourselves. How is the Spirit working<br />
in your life to help you witness to others?
