Level A: 30 minutes each day for Bible Reading and Prayer
-
Bible Reading (about 15 minutes)
-
Matthew 1, Acts 1, Psalm 1-2, Genesis 1-3.
-
If helpful and able, underline or mark your Bible, or highlight in your electronic Bible.
-
After reading today’s passages, respond to Jesus by speaking or writing: “Lord Jesus … “ (then talk to this Real Person, who is listening, about what you believe He has said to you through His Word.)
-
-
Prayer (about 15 minutes)
-
Dialogue with Jesus about one of the five Discipled by Jesus questions each day, plus a few minutes to finish with Question 5.
-
Saturday, Dec. 1: you choose which of the 5 Discipled by Jesus questions you most need to work on (see Level C below, Prayer, for a list of all 5 questions).
-
Brief Question 5: Thank Jesus in advance (work toward authentically believing) for helping you (and others) to walk as He walked today – 1 John 2:6, and for caring for your temporal needs (and others) who are seeking first His Kingdom. Matt. 6:33
-
-
Fasting: One meal each week giving that time to pray (usually intercede for that which Jesus wants to change). Is this meal on your calendar yet?
-
Compassionate Ministry
-
Have you sensed what you (with or without others) have been called to do this month to specially care for someone(s) with very special needs?
-
If you have done what you believe the Lord has called you to do, what good can you see or anticipate coming from this ministry?

*One time introductory note on Discipled by Jesus Prayer Plan, Level A
On Monday, Level A works on Discipled By Jesus Question 1;
On Tuesday, DBJ Q2;
On Wednesday, DBJ Q3;
On Thursday, DBJ Q4;
On Friday, DBJ Q5.
On Saturday, we recommend Level A work 15 minutes on the DBJ question that is most challenging or difficult for you. Since today is Saturday, Dec. 1, and this is probably your first exposures to the 5 Discipled by Jesus questions, look below at Level C, Prayer and select ONE of the 5 questions to work on today. SIMPLY SELECT ONE OF THE FIVE QUESTIONS LISTED BELOW UNDER LEVEL C AND GIVE IT A TRY. In the future, you can evaluate the DBJ question you most need to strengthen in your talk and walk with Jesus.
Each Sunday, we recommend that Level A ask the Lord which of the 5 DBJ questions He would like you to work on with Him, thus practicing being guided by His Spirit.
We recommend leaving a few minutes to finish with brief work on Question 5 (prayer of faith: Do you believe?) every day. On Fridays, spend the entire 15 minutes working on Q5 (Do you believe?).
