We are approaching the end of week one and there is something special happening within our church. As we come together and pray daily for our families, church, fellowship and community. Just a few suggestion as we pray together each day @4pm for 4 minutes for 4 things for 40days. I've made it a practice to call the names of each of my family member down to my grandchildren. With a short request for each from a parents and husband standpoint. As I pray for our church I pray for the spiritual, numerical, and financial growth. Then I pray for our fellowship asking God to strengthen our love, worship, study, ministry, fellowship and sharing. Lastly I pray for our community each day focusing on a particular area such as law enforcement, Arm forces, School board & teachers, medical personnel and so on. Just allowing God to lead me through His Holy Spirit. 4X4X4X40 (@4pm, 4mins, 4 request, 40days).
Thought for today: "Some people are crisis 'pray-ers.' The don't pray for good health until they have poor health. They don't pray for safety and protection until they have an accident. They only pray when things go wrong. Once you understand the power and authority you have in prayer you will fine yourself praying all the time about everything and before bad happen."
Prayer for today: "Father, teach us the discipline of prayer, daily communion with You. You said we should pray without stopping. Help us to fall in love with dialogging with You. You want to hear about our dream, desires, wants, needs, hurts, pains, questions and doubts. And we want to hear what You have to share with us as our heavenly Father, who knows everything before they every exist or happens. Give us your heart so that we may please and server You. Thank You for telling us who we are and where we are going. Thank You saving our souls and giving us new citizenship. For writting our name down in the Lamb's book of life, that registered us in heaven. We are excited about our heavenly home which is grounds for the authority that we secured through Jesus Christ by putting our trust in Him. We claim the victory over the work of darkness and submit ourselves to Your will! Father, move among us as we seek to worship You in spirit and truth in our worship experience this Sunday. Help us lift holy hands, sing songs, dance in disappointment for deliverance, wave in worship, testify to the truth and watch You work among us. During these next 34days continue to transform us into a powerful, prayerful and purposeful church so that we will bring glory and honor to You holy and precious Name. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
