The Great Experiment - Day 1

Friday, March 1, 2019 - Day 1

Dear Friend in Christ,

I’m honored to participate with you and more than 5,000 others across America in the Great Experiment. May God do extraordinary work in all of our lives during the next ten days.

Have you settled on your Joshua Faith Challenge?  For potential ideas, see here. For examples that participants have already chosen, see here. If you’re willing to let us know your Joshua Faith Challenge, we would love that so we can share it with others to inspire them (please hit reply and let us know).

Below is a review of the Great Experiment for your help.

Warmly in Christ,
Matt Bennett

Here is today’s guide for the “Five Rs” of The Great Experiment, March 1-10, 2019.

1. Read and Pray

Ephesians 2:10 - “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Read Ephesians 2:1-10 for more context

Today’s Prayer Points

• Give God praise for redeeming your life. Thank Him that He has good plans for your life.
• Ask Him to take away any fear or doubt about His good plans for you.
• Ask for His Spirit to fill you with power, love, and wisdom as you begin The Great Experiment.

2. Repent.
What sins do I need to repent of today? What hindrances to my devotion to Christ can I remove today?

3. Respond to the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, what is the one thing you most want me to do today? (Write it down, and do it today).

4. Represent Christ. 
How will I bear witness to Christ today? With whom shall I share the Gospel today?

5. Raise Your Faith.
God, give me the strength and courage to complete my Joshua Faith Challenge.
