40 Days of Prayer

It's time to grow up, spiritually.
This week we start our forty days of prayer campaign.  Our foundational scripture is Ephesians 4:14 and We're going to look at the six laws of spiritual growth.
 #1 We grow when we feed on Gods word. Matthew 4:14 says people need more than bread for their life they must feed on every word of God. Our Action step for step one will be a daily time with God for the next 40 days.
 #2 We grow when we learn in different ways. The Bible tells us in Luke 3:18 in many different ways John preached the good news to the people.  I will focus on the four ways that we learn. One by listening (auditory) Two by talking (verbal) Three by watching or reading. (visual) Four by doing it  (physical kinesthetic) way of learning the Bible tells us in Job 33:14 that God speaks in different ways and we don't always recognize his voice.
#3 We grow when we develop spiritual habits with the focus on the habits. John 13:17 says now that you know these things you'll be blessed if you practice them.
#4  We grow when we help each other grow Romans 11:2 says I want us to help each other with the faith we have your faith will help me in my faith will help you. action step, of course, is to join the small group.
#5 We grow when we commit to grow the Bible tells us in Matthew 9:29 according to your faith will  it be done to you.
#6 We grow when we expect to grow!
