Day 5--Examine Relationships

Day 5 OCTOBER 2, 2012


prayer for personal revival







Scripture for Reflection and Preparation


Ephesians 4:25-27 “25 Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. 26 Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and don’t give the Devil an opportunity.”



John 13:34-35 “34 ‘i give you a new commandment: that you love one another. Just as i have loved you, you should also love one another. 35
By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.’”



Colossians 3:12-15 “12 Therefore, god’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the lord has forgiven you, so also you must forgive. 14 above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. 15 and let the peace of the Messiah, to which you
were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.”
