6 “When we were at Mount Sinai, the Lord our God said to us, ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough. 7 It is time to break camp and move on. Go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the neighbouring regions—the Jordan Valley, the hill country, the western foothills, the Negev, and the coastal plain. Go to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, and all the way to the great Euphrates River. 8 Look, I am giving all this land to you! Go in and occupy it, for it is the land the Lord swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to all their descendants.’”

Deuteronomy 1:6-8

PRAYER POINTS

• Moses preached the Deuteronomy sermon to the Israelties on the edge of the Jordan river. Praise God for his word spoken to us at significant moments. 
• Give thanks for this moment when God is telling us that we have stayed long enough in the wilderness. Praise him for his faithfulness to us and for leading us to the edge of occupancy. Pause in this holy moment and worship. 
• It's time to break camp and advance. May the Lord fill us with strength and joy as we move forward. Pray that we will not lag behind, but embrace the future God has won for us. Pray that darkness would flee before the advancing light of Jesus through his church.
• God is saying go into the hill country. May we always be a sent church, going when God calls, to where he calls. Jesus, in the Great comission said go. May we live this year knowing the light is green, not red or orange. Pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to be his witnesses as a city on the hill.
• God is giving us this land and new building. While the building process has been lengthy, now is the time to recieve it and open the doors for all who come. Pray that we would claim all Jesus won for us. With thanks and with wholehearted surrender. Pray that many would receive Jesus' salvation, and his spiritual gifts and use them for his Kingdom's advance.
• Give thanks for the promises God gave to those before us. For our church heritage. Remember Bridgeman Baptist who planted us and the promises God gave them that are extending through The Grove. Pray that we would one day plant churches and pass on with generosity our support.
