June 16
Bible Readings:
Exodus 31:1–11; Acts 6:1–15
Reflection Questions:
- Do you believe the Holy Spirit wants to empower ALL you do? How have you seen this in your life?
- Are you surprised that the proposal to find people to wait on tables and care for widows required the candidates to be full of the Spirit? Why or why not?
Prayer Prompts:
- That every person in our churches would be filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered to serve others.
- That we would all receive the Spirit’s wisdom to respond to the challenges and threats we face.
- That God would pour out his Spirit on our artists to empower them to create extraordinary works that will lead us to greater worship and delight in God’s beauty.
- That the opposition to the Gospel among the Huichol would be dispelled by Spirit-empowered believers.
Listening Prayer:
- Jesus, who are the people you are calling me to serve, and what are the things you are calling me to create in the power of the Spirit?
Huichol:
Around 44,000 Huichol live in Mexico, and about 6,000 reside in the United States. Only 0.4% of the Huichol population is Christian. Most Huichol follow an ethnic religion that believes in many gods. Converts to Christianity are often persecuted by and expelled from their community.
Praise God that there are new opportunities through community development to build relationships and access other Huichol groups.
Pray with us:
Heavenly Father, please bless the Huichol with the revelation of who you are, the one true God.
Bless them with pictures of your loveliness: a merciful God who saves, a God who rejoices over his loved ones with gladness, and a God who sings over his people. Comfort them with your love (Zephaniah 3:17). May their hearts and minds be receptive to you, Jesus.
We ask for Your mercy on those persecuting their people who believe in you. Bless the persecutors with a revelation of who you are and with Damascus Road experiences. Please enable them to see you.
We bless Huichol believers to grow daily in their relationship with you. We pray that through them, you would draw others to Yourself—even to the ends of the earth. Amen.
