I have enjoyed these past few weeks as High Point has taken steps to go deeper in his word, deeper in Prayer and deeper in worship with our creator. Take some time today and thank Him for what He has done for you last. Focus on His amazing goodness to you and your family.
A lady in the church family asked that we pray for her sister who is far from the Lord and having some strong struggles with destructive behavior. I am preparing my messages for the next month and those people who are spiritually disconnected from God are are my heart. I can not imagine what life would be like without Gods amazing presence in my life. But there are people all over in our lives that are living as the bible says spiritually blind. My prayer has been that the Holy Spirit would move in power on the individuals lives that I am praying for.
Prayer changes the equation! My mother prayed for her brother for over 25 years that God would transform his life and that her brother would connect with him and live in a real relationship with God. 25 years of prayers and He gave his Heart to God. I know other people who have been on there way to the store and someone speaks a word to them that breaks through into there lives and they cry out to God. Paul in the NT was riding on a horse and God knocked him off the horse.
For the next two weeks I want you to focus specifically on those that are spiritually dead. Ask God to speak to your top four friends and to prepare the way in there lives. I am going to have you ask them this next week. Either through our mailer, the email invite or through a personal conversation ask God to have them say yes. And pray.
We are preparing all of our resources to make the first week of October especially easy for people to discover Christ. Pray for the Team... Band, Kids Workers, Graphics Designers, Postal Workers, Computers, Spam filters not to block the message, Message Preparation, Power to not go out, Weather to be Optimum for Gods presence to move, Hospitality Team, Greeters and Usher and for boldness in your own life. I am praying for these things... There is so much that goes into a Sunday. The bible says that all of Heaven rejoices and throws a party when 1 person decides to life for Christ. Imagine the kind of party heaven would throw if all of us brought 1 person and each one of them was impacted by the Holy Spirit and Committed there life to serving Christ. WOW! I think the party would go on for a long time in heaven.
My Goal is to make Christ known to as many people as possible.
High Point is the greatest vehicle God gave us to make that happen. Pray with me... and Invite with me... It is going to be Awesome!
