Prayer of Jabez - 30 day challenge

[gn1g]

While I was in the shower this morning, I felt led to post this thread. Would anyone be interested in praying the prayer of Jabez over the next 30 days starting lets say June 7,2005. It was very popular about 3 years ago and many people experienced breakthroughs after praying that prayer along with their other prayers/conversations with God.

The prayer is found in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

It is a four part petition

"bless me indeed" (that is, pour out every bit of blessing that You have intended for me);
"expand my territory" (that is, take my ministry, business, and so forth and give me new opportunities to do big things for You);
"may your hand be with me" (that is, use Your power to sustain these blessings); and
"keep me from evil" (that is, remove temptations from me so that I will not sin).
Anybody want to go on this prayer fast with me? At the end of 30 days perhaps we could come back and testify?

I pray for those things nightly anyway, just not in those exact words. Do you have to say the exact prayer of Jabez word for word or would my version count? Just curious, not trying to be a smarty-pants :p

I really don't know. I read the prayer of Jabez book a very long time ago and I think I gave it away, cause I can't find it. But I think that as long as you hit all four points it would work.

[sithembile]

I'm in! What type of fast are you doing?

[dreamgurl]

I'm definitely in...I didn't know this included a fast until I read the post again this evening...I felt the spirit of the Lord moving me to a fast prior to me reading this post thoroughly...so I'll bet this is God's way of saying, I need to fast along with saying this prayer. So just let us know when we're going to start so we may all be on one accord.

I'm already claiming and expecting God to do a new thing in me/us...to show up and show out on me/us...I/we give Him the glory right now in advance...Thank you Jesus...for what you've done...what you're doing and what you're going to do in the mind/body/soul/heart/spirit of your daughter/s...Amen.
