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?
