for Christian Leadership at Princeton

Located at 19 Vandeventer Avenue, The Robert L. Melrose Center for Christian Leadership serves Christian Union's ongoing work to develop Christian leaders at Princeton.

The Melrose Center provides offices for Christian Union's ministry faculty and serves as a home base for alumni and student activities, including Bible courses, leadership training, mentoring appointments, prayer, and Reunions gatherings.

The building, just one block from campus, is a Princeton landmark, an 18th century center-hall Colonial originally built on Nassau Street in 1780 and moved to its current location in 1887.

The Center honors the memory of Robert Lumley Melrose, Princeton Class of 1954.

at Yale University

The James W.C. Pennington Center has been significantly strengthening Christian witness and influence at Yale since 2014. Located at 31 Whitney Avenue, the property is one block from Timothy Dwight Hall and two blocks from Cross-campus.

The Pennington Center is a resource for Yale students, faculty and staff to learn about the Christian worldview. The center provides office and meeting space for fellowship, biblical teaching, leadership training, mentorship, and personal and intercessory prayer.

Unlock Yale’s Potential

Currently the ministry rents out the first floor to offset the mortgage costs on the facility.

With the full use of the Center, Christian Union will not need to use campus facilities for many ministry events and will not be hindered if the university should discriminate, as in 2012 when it stripped the BYX Christian fraternity of official recognition (Christian Union helped students to regain recognition).

"Draw near to God and he will draw near to you..." - James 4:8a

Christian Union Day and Night promotes spiritual strengthening in Christians across America. Through prayer, humility in fasting, repentance, evangelism and dedication to His ways as revealed in His word, Christians around our country are asking God to have mercy and bring about the greatest revival the nation has ever seen.

Past Events

Monday January 4 - Sunday January 24, 2021
We completed 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting for 2021 from January 4 - 24, 2021. Our theme for this fast was "Seek God for Peace and Purpose in 2021." Each participant fasted during the 21 days as led by the Lord. CU Day and Night emailed a daily written devotional giving motivation and guidance to seek God for personal peace and outward purpose. Every devotional was also published on https://www.dayandnight.org/, and shared on CU Day and Night’s social media channels.

Theme Verse
John 20:21, Jesus said to them again,“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”

Prayer Emphasis

• Inward Peace – To bring change to our nation, we first need peace within ourselves. During these 21 days, we will seek “things above” (Colossians 3:1-3), diminish worldly distractions, and remove anything from our lives that grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:25-32). Fasting will humble us and lead us to repent with contrition and find God in wonderful new ways.

• Outward Purpose – Our nation needs God, and the Lord has sent us to witness for Him in America. We will pray fervently for our country and for our own courage to serve God’s redemptive plan. He has a specific role for each of us to play and we will inquire what He is saying to us personally for the year ahead.

Thanks for joining us and we pray you were blessed by this time of fasting!

Wednesday, March 18th - Sunday, April 26th, 2020
Christian Union Day and Night led a 40-day initiative of prayer, fasting and repentance to meet the threat of the Coronavirus. To read up to date communication regarding Christian Union's response to the Coronavirus, click here.

In times of crises, God desires that His people examine themselves and repent of everything displeasing to Him. We are to repent on behalf of ourselves and American Christianity which is largely self-indulgent and does not seek the Lord in holiness or wholehearted devotion. First-century Christians prayed and read the Scriptures every morning and evening, and fasted twice a week. Meanwhile, American Christians spend little energy seeking God and the church is therefore largely powerless. Most Christians don’t give at least ten percent of their income even though we are the richest country in the history of the world, and we pollute ourselves through movies and our own engagement with sexual immorality.

We abstained from food in various forms, praying and repenting of sin, starting Wednesday, March 18th through Sunday, April 26th 2020.

Each morning of the fast, participants received a special emailed devotion to keep you motivated to pray and fast as we face the trial of COVID-19. Perhaps this is a time when God desires to bring national revival as the attention of millions is disrupted from normal daily activities.

Visit www.dayandnight.org for more information.

Monday, January 20 - Wednesday, January 29, 2020

Christians joined across America in a ten-day fast (fasting from food). Participants followed the example of men and women of Scripture who humbled themselves and sought the Lord through fasting. Our country needs the spiritual renewal that only God can bring. May He hear our cry and answer!

Starting on Monday, January 20, 2020, participants sought God through the biblical practice of fasting. Some chose to fast from all foods for the entire ten days—drinking only liquids—while some decided to fast one or two meals each day. For some, health limitations will require a different type of fast (see fasting resources).

Participants received a special devotional by email each morning of the fast offering encouragement as participants devoted themselves to the Lord in humility through fasting. Our theme for this fast was “Undefiled,” and the ten daily devotions drew from the example of Daniel, a man of God who refused to conform to the ungodly culture in which he lived.

May God draw near and bring spiritual renewal to us and to our nation as we seek Him through prayer and fasting!

November 1 - 10, 2019
We united as the Body of Christ to make a difference in the spiritual landscape of our nation through The Great Experiment.

Monday, August 12 - Sunday, September 1, 2019
Christians across America joined us in a 21-day fast (fasting from food). Participants followed the example of men and women of Scripture who humbled themselves and sought the Lord through fasting. Our country needs the spiritual renewal that only God can bring. May He hear our cry and answer!

2019 Trip to Fiji
What a joy it is to see whole villages truly living for the things of God, walking in His ways, and giving glory to Him for all His good gifts. I had the pleasure of touring a number of villages in Fiji Islands which have been experiencing revival, following a process of communal repentance. The blessings God is pouring out upon these spiritually reborn communities almost have to be seen to be believed, including remarkable healing of the land and nearby sea. I share some details about what is happening there in this short video (4 minutes,12 seconds):

For a fuller picture, see this documentary made 15 years ago (1 hour,14 minutes):

Revival is something we desperately need in America. It is evident that our best efforts as Christians are only slowing the massive secularization of our society, not turning it back. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we need God to transform our entire culture!

After returning, we concluded our Great Experiment - ten days of seeking the Lord in an extraordinary way, together with a few thousand Christians from around the country. Participants shared that they were spiritually refreshed through the morning and evening video devotionals we sent out. One woman wrote:

"For my faith challenge, I wrote down every trial I have been through, and then wrote down how the Lord provided and how His name was glorified during these times. I am sharing at least one story of the Lord's work and provision in my life through my times of weakness or what felt like failure with at least one person a day. I was also personally encouraged to realize each trial yielded fruit in my life and truly brought glory to the Lord in the events surrounding each trial.

After listening to Matt Bennett's explanation of the process proceeding revival in Fiji in the Great Experiment video, I immediately began a fast and my husband joined me. We spent hours in prayer and the following day we both felt led to write the biggest check we have ever written to our local church. Ironically, we are facing the hardest financial time we have ever experienced. With joyful hearts, we delivered the check that day and the joy was so intense, we couldn't stop smiling.”

At Day and Night, we're excited to continue offering nationwide fasts, and I sincerely hope you'll join us. If you're new to the spiritual discipline of fasting, I invite you to dive in to our collection of fasting resources.

All glory and honor to God!

"Over the last three centuries, revivals have had a great impact. Between 1730 and 1830 successive movements of the Holy Spirit brought a large proportion of the population into the churches. These awakenings are not ultimately the result of marketing or organization. They come, by God’s grace and in his time, in response to extraordinary prayer. Christian Union Day and Night is making a serious attempt to spark this kind of prayer and devotion. I welcome it, and I’m very encouraged by it."

June 22 - June 23, 2018, New York City

The CU Cities Conference 2018 convened graduate students and diverse professionals, from recent graduates to seasoned pros, from across industries, to explore compelling ideas about faith and its relevance to every facet of our lives. Graduates of Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Pennslyvania, Princeton and Yale explored their role in becoming Christian leaders. Click here to watch the videos and click here to listen to the audio from the conference.

Katie Lentz, CU New York young professional: “The most impactful thing about this conference was the coming together of a network of people striving towards the same goal. It was so encouraging to gather with Christians from this city and other cities with the same Christ-centered personal mission in the workplace.”

The Christian Union Conference on Faith and Action

Do you attend one of these schools: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania or Yale?

Students from these schools joined us for an amazing weekend of worship, prayer, speakers, small groups, fellowship, seminars and more from February 22-24, 2019.

What does it mean to be “Courageous in the ways of the Lord”? How does this look in your studies? Your friendships? Your future?

The Nexus conference looked at courage in all of these areas, focusing on vocation. Students learned how to lead in their networks as they serve others like Christ. Students connected with industry professionals and learned from their experience in specific fields of study.

Nexus20191

Plenary Sessions

Matt Bennett challenged the audience through addressing evangelism and revival with wisdom shared from the Scriptures. Dr. Jimmy Lin encouraged students to be bold as you operate as a Christian in your vocation. Eric Metaxas inspired you to speak up for truth seen in God’s word. Baroness Cox urged you to stand for others and justice as you interact in the world.

Click here to watch the plenary speakers from Nexus 2019.

Breakouts

Students had the opportunity to expand their knowledge with the guidance of Christian leaders, who encouraged them to consider issues in light of God’s Word. Students discussed topics such as leadership, evangelism, revival, sexuality, and the supernatural with subject-matter experts and leading Christian thinkers.

Vocational Panels

Students were able to glean insights from experienced professionals in industries including: The Academy, Applied Sciences, Business Ventures, Law & Government, Non-Profit Engagement, and Communications & Media.

Prayer

As we draw near to God, He promises to draw near to us. Prayer is the means by which we receive from God and are empowered to intercede on behalf of others. At Nexus, students participated in life-changing and powerful times of prayer, not only in plenary sessions, but also in the 24-hour prayer room. Students prayed with fellow students from across campuses.

Fellowship and Networking

Being courageous in the ways of the Lord does not mean working alone, but instead by building groups, networks, and bodies of believers gathering together for fellowship, breaking bread and prayer. As a network, Christians can amplify the power for cultural change. At Nexus there were opportunities to meet and spend time with fellow believers from across nine campuses and go deep in prayer and relationships. Through small groups students forged new friendships that will last beyond the conference and (with God’s help) in years to come.

SpokenWord

God’s Word is living and active. Students were inspired by fellow students, who memorized and performed spoken word pieces taken directly from Scripture. A time of joy and celebration, SpokenWord is one of the unique highlights of the Nexus Conference. Click here to watch.

Contact your campus Ministry Team with any questions.

*Update*
The early conferences occurred every third year. This allowed students involved in a Christian Union ministry to have an opportunity to attend at some point in their college careers. From 2016 to 2019, Nexus was held annually, but after careful evaluation, input from a variety of leaders, and in light of ministry objectives, the role and frequency of Nexus is being re-imagined.

No decision has been made about the date of the next Nexus Conference, but it will not be held in 2020.

For Drawing Close to God

Shepherd Spirituality

Conclusion

Overview

Many Christians today desire to see God glorified in their lives, families, and communities like never before. The Giver of Life is beyond description in His glory, supernatural love, holiness, and zeal for His wonderful eternal purposes for the universe and humanity. For the sake of the honor of His name and the flourishing of humanity, Christians today yearn to draw close to Him and please Him in every way.

It’s earnestly believed that if a zealous culture of seeking God wholeheartedly can be stirred and sustained in our hearts, then God will increasingly respond to the collective cry and will pour out His Spirit for salvations, holiness, devotion, blessing, hope, joy, healings, deliverances, and miracles, with the realization of course, that opposition and persecutions may also come as well.

There’s no need for Christians to wait for increasing problems to return to Him with all their hearts. In past times of revival, large numbers of Christians returned to Him even apart from any looming catastrophe. He’s always willing to return to us when we return to Him, but this usually requires a dramatic shift in mindset and lifestyle. Instead of thinking God exists primarily to meet our desires, our mindset must shift so we believe and live the opposite. That is, He’s created humanity to please and honor Him. Therefore, it’s our responsibility to search Him out, draw close to Him, and discover what honors Him. As the prescribed way of life comes into view, we are to make the needed adjustments in our lives, no matter how big or small, so that we are pleasing Him in every way.

The following sections explain God’s ways so that it’s clear what it means to love Him and others with our whole minds, souls, hearts, and strength.

Hungering For God Himself explains God’s desire that we center our hearts on He Himself and not teachings and practices per se, even though they may help us center our hearts.
The Seven Principles of a Seeking God Lifestyle summarizes many Biblical passages about what God means by seeking Him wholeheartedly. Remarkably, a historian of early Christianity, Professor Robert Wilken of the University of Virginia, has identified Psalm 105:3 and 4 as summarizing the heart and mindset of the church for the first four hundred years. The verses state: “Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!”
The third section of Essential Spiritual Practices summarizes the spiritual architecture, or pattern of faithfulness needed to fulfill the Seven Principles of the Seeking God Lifestyle. Organizing one’s life around God in this way is a departure from much of so-called normal Christianity in the West, but it’s the “normal” Christianity of today that is insufficient for the hour. By conforming ourselves to His commandments and drawing close to Him, we gain life and supernatural joy. As Jesus states in John 15, verses ten and eleven, “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”

Pledging to a specific spirituality helps Christians please God by giving them a framework for faithful consistency in their ministry and devotion to Him, and helping strengthen them for a vibrant walk with Him, including fillings of the Holy Spirit on an ongoing basis.

. . .

I. Hungering for God Himself

These spiritualities are about a life transformation of seeking God wholeheartedly. While it includes what for many is increased discipline in spiritual practices, the heart is an eagerness to hunger for God Himself, thereby having one’s life totally transformed and led by God. It’s not less than a lifestyle of strong spiritual practices but much more. It’s an attitude of wanting God to be exalted in every way. It means learning to feast on God Himself. God desires that we live primarily as “Marys” over “Marthas” and sit at His feet, getting to know Him and His ways. There’s certainly “Martha” type of work to be done in ministry, but Jesus told Mary she chose the better option because sitting at Jesus’ feet comes first.

Psalm 42:1 - “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.”

Psalm 81:10 - “I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.”

Luke 10:41, 42 - But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

. . .

II. Seven Principles of the Seeking God Lifestyle

As a Christian, and therefore as one who’s willingly and eagerly submitting to God’s authority, it’s essential to draw close to Him and know Him better. To hunger after God and to love Him is to seek Him wholeheartedly with great energy. The following seven principles comprise the seeking God lifestyle. Principles are listed along with exemplary Bible passages.

Psalm 105:3, 4 - “Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!”

Humbling Oneself with the Help of Fasting - Humbling oneself before God brings spiritual strength, aided by fasting. Fasting is going without food for spiritual purposes and is expected of Christians since it’s a tool to deepen humility.
- Ezra 8:21 - “Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods.”

Prayer - Fervent and frequent prayer is part of what it means to be Christian. God expects to hear from us and for us to listen to Him as we walk with Him.
- Daniel 9:3 - “Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.”

Bible - Reading, listening to, memorizing, and studying the Bible builds one’s understanding of God and His ways. It takes time to plumb the depths of the riches of the greatest and most influential book ever written, and this is because it’s the very word of God to humanity.
- 2 Chronicles 31:21 - “And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.”

Repentance - Repenting of one’s sins and putting faith in God begins a relationship with Him but also maintains and develops one’s ongoing relationship. Examining oneself daily ensures nothing is displeasing to Him. If there is, you can repent, and He will forgive.
- Psalm 78:34 - “When he killed them, they sought him; they repented and sought God earnestly.”

Obedience - The intention of God’s gospel has always been to bring people into faithful obedience to Him; therefore, the Christian’s life is different from others’ lives because the Christian seeks to obey God’s commandments, not finding them burdensome, but a joy to fulfill.
- Isaiah 51:1 - “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug.”

Community - Seeking God with family, friends, and one’s church adds richness and enjoyment to the Christian life. Whether participating in spiritual practices as described below, developing Christian friendships for mutual encouragement, or benefiting from the spiritual gifts of others, God provides many of His most consequential blessings through other people.
- 2 Chronicles 11:16 - “And those who had set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came after them from all the tribes of Israel to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord, the God of their fathers.”

Perseverance - Your closeness to God will steadily increase as you persevere in the six principles listed above. Even as a Christian, life can have its ups and downs, and God desires that you develop patient diligence in drawing close to Him.
- Proverbs 8:17 - “I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.”

. . .

III. Essential Spiritual Practices - A Biblical Pattern for Success

After deciding to hunger after God Himself and seek Him wholeheartedly, finding a disciplined way to fulfill these desires is needed. Putting effort into one’s Christian life honors God and ensures growth in Him so that we increasingly please Him and become all the more able to fulfill His destiny for our lives. Christians are urged to imitate athletes by training, working hard, and struggling:

1 Timothy 4:7-11 - “Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly. “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it. This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers. Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them.”

2 Timothy 2:1-7 - You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

Working hard spiritually brings Christians closer to God and brings His many blessings. The apostle Paul acknowledged the benefits of working hard, even while thanking God, knowing that he succeeded only by God’s grace.

1 Corinthians 15:10 - “But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.”

The following require effort and self-discipline to receive increased grace to live a holy and pleasing life to God. Self-discipline is a virtue to be cultivated in the life of a man or woman who loves and fears God. It’s the Christian’s joy to seek God wholeheartedly through the following regular spiritual practices, confessing all sins, and living fully surrendered to Him.

It can be seen in the Scriptures that it’s always been God’s intention for believers to follow an established pattern of honoring Him through devotional practices.

Genesis 1:14 - “And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.’”

Jewish commentators have seen Genesis 1:14 as God’s way of letting humanity know that there are patterns of drawing close to Him, which are even written into the orbits of the planets and stars.

1 Chronicles 23:30-31 - “And they were to stand every morning, thanking and praising the LORD, and likewise at evening, and whenever burnt offerings were offered to the LORD on Sabbaths, new moons, and feast days, according to the number required of them, regularly before the LORD.”

The following may be fulfilled through one's local church, on one’s own, with a group of family or friends, through offerings of Christian Union or other Christian agencies, or a combination of all of these.

1. Morning and Evening Devotions - Draw close to God for thirty to ninety minutes through Christian devotions in the mornings and evenings. Listen to praise music, repent of sins, read and memorize the Bible, learn to listen to God, and pray. Perhaps some days the time would be spent all at once instead of split between morning and evening, but twice daily is the ideal. This can be practiced alone, although it is often more rewarding when accompanied by friends, family, or one’s church community. Some families establish a “family altar,” which is a fixed time and place to pray as a family in the mornings and evenings. The goal is to be faithful to this commitment for at least four of the six days per week.
  
  1 Timothy 5:5, 6 - “She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day, but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.
2. Sunday Church Attendance with Increased Devotion - Spend Sundays (or another day as a Sabbath) attending church, resting, and participating in other activities to grow in God. Some churches offer more than one service on Sunday, so attending both can aid Christian growth and strengthening. The minimum time commitment entails one to two hours for church and the same amount of time in the evening. The goal is to be faithful to this commitment for at least three of the four or five Sundays per month. For the evening, one to two hours, churches may offer evening services or something more informal online like a Zoom prayer meeting. Of course, this commitment could also be met with one’s family and friends, on one’s own, or in some other way.
  
  Exodus 20:8-11 - “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
3. Fasting Wednesdays and Fridays - As was practiced by the early church for hundreds of years and still practiced by many Christians worldwide, fast by refraining from food until at least 3:00 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. Fasting helps Christians humble themselves, draw closer to God, and experience more of His presence. The goal is to be faithful to this commitment, at least for most of the seven to ten monthly fasting days. There may be circumstances that would require switching a fasting day to another day during the week, and there also may be circumstances necessitating a refraining from fasting because of family, medical, or mental health concerns.
  
  Luke 5:35 - “The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.”
4. Once-a-Month All-Day Devotion - Once a month devote an entire Saturday or other day to strengthening one’s relationship with God with one’s church family, alone or with friends and family by drawing close to God by praying, building strong relationships, reading the Bible, repenting of sins, listening to Christian messages and worshiping. Eight to twelve hours of the day should be dedicated to this pursuit. The goal is to be faithful to this commitment for at least eight of the twelve months per year. Because some churches do not offer this, it may be fulfilled on one’s own, with spouse and family, or by participating in a CU Fire Retreat (www.cufire.org), held Friday night and all day Saturday four times a year. Sample schedules can be provided for those seeking to construct their own.
  
  Ezekiel 46:6 - On the day of the new moon he shall offer a bull from the herd without blemish, and six lambs and a ram, which shall be without blemish.
5. Twice-a-Year Christian Conferences - Approximately every six months, attend a Christian conference up to a week-long with great teaching, worship, repentance, prayer, fellowship, and encouragement. This renews one’s love for God, brings honor to Him, likely facilitates a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, and strengthens Christians for effective service. The goal is to be faithful to this commitment approximately every six months, spending a minimum of eight to twelve hours each day drawing close to Him. This can be fulfilled through a church conference or an extended CU Fire Retreat (www.cufire.org), on one’s own or with friends.,
  
  Exodus 23:14-17 - “Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me. 15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed. 16 You shall keep the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor. 17 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord GOD.
6. Periodic Extraordinary Efforts - Periodically, God calls individuals and groups to more extraordinary efforts in seeking Him. For example, He may have you fast and pray for three days for an important decision. He may have you pray all night, like Jesus did, to draw closer to Him. God may ask you, along with others, to set in motion a 24-hour prayer chain for a season or indefinitely, like the Moravians for 100 years. He may have you seek Him in prayer, fasting, and repentance for 10 days like Jeremiah, 21 days like Daniel, or 40 days like Moses. He may have you read the Bible once to four times a year or have you memorize chapters or a whole book of the Bible. As part of God’s international, dynamic movement of expanding and deepening the Kingdom of God, He will have you follow His direction for seasons of extraordinary efforts in seeking Him. As you grow in Christ, He will give you the desire and strength to participate in these types of exceptional efforts. The goal is to participate in such an effort at least once per year. You may do something God individually calls you to or participate with a larger group of people such as an extended fast sponsored by your church. Christian Union also typically hosts two national fasts annually in August and January. Zealously participating in these helps Christians draw close to the face of God.
  
  Esther 4:15-17 - Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

Diligently seeking God is an expression of faith facilitating the renewing of one’s mind and filling the Holy Spirit. It takes time and effort to rearrange priorities so God is first and foremost. Still, it is extraordinarily important so that growth is not hindered and one doesn't neglect one’s responsibility to God. It becomes incredibly rewarding to deepen friendship with God and love for Him, especially when persevering weekly, month after month, year after year.

Legalism is to be assiduously avoided when striving to seek God with one’s whole heart as He requires. Legalism is the misunderstanding that one’s efforts seeking God through spiritual practices merits or earns God’s favor. This is clearly false because everything from God is a gift. Yet, it is also false that it’s not needed or not valuable to expend effort in seeking God because He plainly states that He draws near to us when we draw near to Him (James 4:6). Legalism has to do with earning seeking God has to do with effort. If you believe you are earning God’s blessing when seeking Him as He requires, then you will periodically be frustrated with Him when difficulties arise because you think He owes you something specific. When you remember that He promises you blessings out of His grace, your disappointment and frustration are much less when blessings are delayed or not forthcoming, because you remember that you were never owed anything.

You will be rewarded as you seek Him as the New Testament directs:

Hebrews 11:6 - “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”

If you start to experience burnout when seeking the Lord faithfully, it may be that you’re not receiving fresh fillings of the Holy Spirit. This may mean that you need to repent of something or start obeying God in an area where you have not done so. It may also mean that nothing is wrong spiritually, but God is developing your ability to seek Him faithfully even when difficult. The next time you take a whole day or multiple days with God, focus on ensuring you receive a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. Often, burnout comes not from spending a lot of time drawing close to God but from spending too much time in ministry or other activities. Remember to pace yourself and to remember that there is only one Savior. He has many servants to fulfill His will and we each have only a small part.

As Christians draw close to God faithfully day after day and month after month, their walk with Him becomes increasingly rewarding, and they are given the strength to live a devout life that’s pleasing to Him, ascribing to Him the honor He deserves.

. . .

Summary

When one reflects on the need to draw close to God, the seven principles of what it means to seek God wholeheartedly, and the patterns of devotion demonstrated in the Scriptures, it can be seen that combining these into a regular lifestyle is nothing less than extraordinary. It’s a lifestyle pleasing to God that allows us to center our lives wholly on Him. Because He’s full of grace, He fills us with joy and delights of all kinds and releases His sovereign power and love into the lives of our family members, community members, and nation.

By God’s grace and His power, the greatest revival in history will come about but it must be preceded by large numbers of Christians crying out to Him with abandon and seeking Him as He expects and deserves. He is faithful and will draw near as His people draw near to Him. It takes faith and leadership on behalf of all Christians to call others to seek Him diligently.

Three Spiritualities

We are to be people who feast on God, who want Him and His ways more than anything. This means radical, wholehearted devotion to Jesus Christ in every aspect, seeing Him as Lord of all, and doing everything He asks to attract His presence. The nation is in a precarious place, and nothing less than full surrender to the living God by His people is sufficient for the hour. This means not just the adoption of stronger spiritual disciplines but, for most, a total life transformation of consecration to Jesus Christ. It’s about changing mindsets, adopting new rhythms, stepping out of comfort zones, and being used by God in dramatic ways.

The following is a description of three different spiritualities designed to be pleasing to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They are based on the Scriptures, the revival-oriented international church, and times of great gospel progress in America’s history. As reminded in Zechariah 8, it’s the privilege and duty of Christians to seek God faithfully, inviting others to join.

Zechariah 8:20-23 - “Thus says the LORD of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities. 21 The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts; I myself am going.’ 22 Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD. 23 Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

Overview

Hungering for God Himself - It always starts with a desire to focus on God Himself, including His glory and His ways.
Seeking God Lifestyle - Hungering for God translates into seeking Him wholeheartedly through self-humbling with the help of fasting, frequent and fervent prayer, massive intake of the Scriptures, ongoing repentance, faithful obedience, joining with others, and persevering over the long term. The following three levels of Christian devotion depend upon the Christian practicing these seven principles of the seeking God lifestyle. Apart from sincere zeal to seek God, spiritual practices can become empty and disconnected from the heart. All three spiritualities assume a genuine, heartfelt eagerness to love God and seek Him wholeheartedly.
Essential Spiritual Practices
- Daniel Spirituality - This is arguably a spirituality needed by all Christians, as explained below.
- Shepherd Spirituality - This is a stronger spirituality needed by pastors, elders, and others in Christian leadership. It includes the responsibility of helping lay Christians stay strong in the Daniel Spirituality.
- Pauline Spirituality - This is the strongest spirituality, that of a revivalist which brings power and grace to help pastors and other Christian leaders adopt shepherd spirituality and laymen to adopt the Daniel Spirituality.

. . .

Daniel Spirituality

Overview
Daniel exemplified devout faithfulness to God while serving as a prominent leader and influencer in a spiritually hostile context, having been taken captive from Judah to Babylon in approximately 605 B.C. Serving as the second in command to King Nebuchadnezzar and successive emperors, God regarded Daniel as “highly esteemed” because of his character, mindset, and lifestyle. He possessed a remarkable spirituality, available to all believers, especially Christians today because of the increased authority and power of the Holy Spirit, made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through the teaching of the Scriptures and the power of the Holy Spirit, this type of faithfulness to God is available to all who desire it, although it requires focus, diligence, and perseverance.

Christians today, like Daniel, live in the context of a wicked and perverse generation, and likewise do not have to succumb to it. The benefits of living a devout life are truly wonderful because Christians living devotedly are promised God’s supernatural joy, His friendship, and the power to be true overcomers no matter the circumstances. The dedication required is worth the effort because Christians will be able to live the type of life God had always intended for them. When a growing number of Christians choose to live wholeheartedly for God, He is more responsive to our prayers. He often pours out His Spirit in much greater measure, radically changing not just our own lives but the destiny of our families, communities, and nation.

Because Christians in the West have drifted so far from historical norms of righteous living, it may initially be surprising when patterns of devotion from the Scriptures and church history are first learned. Without realizing it, Christians have succumbed to complacency, thereby becoming lovers of pleasure and lovers of self. Our current ways of life as Christians often depart radically from Christians in American history, the current international church, and the first-century church. As a result, God’s blessings have been steadily withdrawing from the West, with secularism steadily growing in most sectors of society. God is patient and loving, but eventually brings increasing judgment as a means of discipline to highlight the need to return to Him wholeheartedly. However, this does not have to happen as Christians return to Him wholeheartedly.

Specific Practices

From the Scriptures and history, arguably, this is the expectation of Christians generally. It’s more robust than the average modern Western Christian’s devotion, and it’s the privilege of Christians today to return to it.

Hungering after God Himself

Shepherd Spirituality

Overview
This is a spirituality needed for ministers who want grace from God to help those lay people at a Daniel Spirituality to continue at that level. It means deepening and practicing the skills of calling others to pray, fast, repent of sins, and seek God wholeheartedly.

This takes a consecrated state of mind and a spirit of Zechariah 8:20-23.

Pauline Spirituality

Overview

Pauline Spirituality expresses a level of devotion and lifestyle typical of revivalist ministers to seek God to draw His power and presence to rejuvenate other Christians. Incredible grace is needed to help Christians make radical lordship decisions. Seeking God at this level provides the revelation and power to see lives and communities, radically transformed. Christian ministers at the Pauline Spirituality are to encourage, strengthen, and call others to a Daniel Spirituality, Shepherd Spirituality, and Pauline Spirituality. This takes a consecrated state of mind and a spirit of Zechariah 8:20-23, including much listening to the Lord and power and grace! The Lord calls Pauline Spirituality practitioners to many deep, self-sacrificial, periodic, extraordinary efforts of drawing close to God.

Conclusion

As final notes, it's helpful to remember the following:

Negative Feedback - Affirmatively stepping into a robust pattern of seeking the Lord will necessarily draw the enemy's attention to strike back. Through the mouths of even other Christians, those committing may be accused, labeled, and cajoled into giving up such a commitment. You are encouraged, however, to stay strong, anticipate that negativity may come, and be ready if someone labels them “legalistic” or doesn’t understand God’s grace. Those who follow Christ wholeheartedly are always subject to rejection of some sort.

Mutual Strengthening - Stepping into one of the three commitments includes a commitment to help encourage and strengthen others in their own commitments. It’s a community, and together, the community encourages, inquires, and challenges fellow community members to be faithful to the commitment. Like any well-functioning team, team members look out for each and help each other to succeed.

A Christian Union Video Teaching Series

7 Keys Are you satisfied with your own Christian growth, or the current impact of the Church in America?

The Seven Keys to Kingdom Advancement is a series of lessons explaining Christians' role in advancing the kingdom of God into all parts of society to please God and bring His blessings to every sector.

The Seven Keys to Kingdom Advancement series is rooted in the Scriptures, drawing on years of study, experience, and insight. They are directly applicable to every Christian, church, and Christian agency. Understanding the seven keys and radically putting them into action will positively revolutionize churches, communities, and nations to the glory of God.

Brief bios of the presenters in this video series are listed below the table of contents.

Key 1: Aspiration and Desperation

What is the vision and end goal of the Seven Keys? Why are the Seven Keys so urgently needed today?

Key 2: Theological Foundations

Theological Foundation teachings address common issues and questions holding many Christians back from full engagement in kingdom advancement.

Doctrinal Defeaters 1

Ten of the most misunderstood theological concepts that keep many Christians from seeking God wholeheartedly include Legalism, Positional and Ethical Righteousness, and Conditional Grace.

Doctrinal Defeaters 2

Ten more misunderstood theological concepts that keep many Christians from seeking God wholeheartedly, including Pleasing God, Abundant Life, and Freedom in Christ.

Character

Strong character provides the foundation and context for seeking God wholeheartedly in order to be used by Him to spread the kingdom.

Christian Unity

Perhaps no greater effort by Christians to prepare the way for seeking God wholeheartedly and receiving outpourings of the Holy Spirit can be made but by the achievement and maintenance of Christian unity.

Judgment

Understanding the judgment of God brings balance to our understanding of His grace and helps us seek Him wholeheartedly as He requires, bringing His presence and advancing the kingdom.

Role of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the power source for spreading the kingdom of light and dispelling the kingdom of darkness in the personal, territorial, and cultural spheres. He comes as we seek God wholeheartedly paving the way for the church’s success.

Christian View of Fear

Having a fear of man, and not having a fear of God blunts the resolve of Christians to seek God with whole hearts, forgoing fillings of the Holy Spirit and the power to spread the kingdom.

Key 3: Seeking God Wholeheartedly

Also referred to as the Seeking God Lifestyle, it comprises seven biblical principles for pursuing God to please Him and advance His kingdom.

Seeking God Lifestyle Overview

A culture of Christians seeking the Lord wholeheartedly pleases God and is the means established by Him to attract His presence for power and success in deepening and expanding the kingdom of God. Seeking Him as He requires is the highest aim of humanity.

Principle 1: Humility with the Help of Fasting

Humbling ourselves with the help of fasting is a powerful means of seeking God, which pleases Him, attracts His presence, yielding outpourings of His Spirit.

Principle 2: Fervent and Frequent Prayer

Frequent and fervent prayer awakens God’s heart to the plight of His servants, making tangible the sincere desire to seek Him wholeheartedly. When God becomes pleased with our seeking, He responds with extraordinary grace for radical positive change in our lives and society.

Principle 3: Massive Intake of the Scriptures

Having the Scriptures filling our minds helps Christians seek God wholeheartedly because we learn what pleases Him and have strength to obey. Christians need to know His will to obey and seek Him and the Scriptures are the will of God.

Principle 4: Deep and Ongoing Repentance

Engaging in deep and ongoing repentance means a Christian is free from everything displeasing to God which thereby attracts His presence and power for kingdom advancement.

Principle 5: Faithful Obedience

Obeying God moment by moment pleases God and helps ensure His constant support and strength for His will to be done.

Principle 6: Strong Community

God has intended that we seek Him and fulfill His purposes as a community of strong and committed disciples. There is great power and success when seeking God as a team instead of just on one’s own.

Principle 7: Relentless Perseverance

God has called His followers to seek Him day in and day out, and many blessings do not come until after a season of dedicated striving to draw near to Him. Faithfully pursuing Him pleases Him and attracts His presence.

Key 4: Spiritual Practices

Seeking God wholeheartedly for outpourings of the Spirit happens in the context of disciplined spiritual practices. Faithfully seeking God daily, month after month, pleases Him and draws His presence and blessing.

Key 5: Supernatural Aspects

As God’s power is released for His kingdom advancement, supernatural manifestations can occur including visitations of the Spirit, manifestations of spiritual gifts, and even demonic manifestations. Knowing and understanding these supernatural phenomena helps deepen and extend revival.

Key 6: Impacting the Three Spheres

Having gained the power of the Holy Spirit by seeking God wholeheartedly, it’s the Christian’s duty and joy to take the message of God’s love to every person on the planet and call all persons and institutions worldwide to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Key 7: Leadership

The presence and power of the Holy Spirit are not enough to see rapid kingdom advancement apart from spiritual leadership. Edwards, Whitefield, Finney, Roberts, Seymour, and modern leaders like David Cho, Savenaca Nakauyaca, and John Mulinde have all exemplified this. They have had the power of the Holy Spirit but have taken specific action as Christian leaders.

The primary presenter is Matt Bennett, founder and president of Christian Union. Other presenters include Dr. Chuck Hetzler, Ph.D. in New Testament and former senior pastor, and Bishop Wolfgang Watkins, a founding senior pastor and Christian leader. Each has participated in—and helped lead—a revival. Each has also studied extensively the history of revivals in America. Additionally, to learn about how God works, each has visited other nations where revivals are currently commonplace.
