I was challenged this Sunday. I hope you were as well. Nate talked about our role in praying down Gods blessing and Protection in other peoples lives. What a good message for us to hear. SO often we think that we are all alone in this world or we don't realize our role in someone else's life. E and I were talking about it last night and she told me a story of a person that she prayed for everyday for a year. Se said besides me this person received more of her prayer effort than anyone else has had. That person had a total heart transformation and is still over a decade later serving the Lord.
Who are you praying for? I have been taking time each night to pray a little different for Olivia. I have found myself praying prayers of protection and against the attack of the evil one. I am realizing that I need to pray for you with a deeper passion and energy. Elizabeth and I have been commissioned by God to lead this church. We are responsible ultimately for the spiritual health of the body. I have prayed for you in the past and do regularly but I have been moved for you in a deeper way. Praying for freedom from addictions, health in marriages, That you would find the right mate, That God would show up in your life, that you would reach your God given potential... I am expectant for God to do some big things this summer in High Point. Pray with me... Go deeper in God... Seek him and he will not disappoint.
I am not what I would call an intercessor... Elizabeth is and we laugh at how different each one of us approaches prayer. But I am a person of prayer... I feel that I am being challenged to go to a place in my prayer life I have not been to in a long time if ever. I feel a drawing towards fasting and seclusion from things in this world that might distract me from what God wants to do... I am challenged.
My prayer is that God would transform me and that I would grow in knowledge of Him... That I would live out the example of prayer in our home, church and life. I ask the Lord for wisdom in how to lead you and this church. I pray that he would set you free from the snares the enemy has laid out for you. I ask for His favor and pray that he would find favor in my seeking of him.
Maybe you were challenged as well... Think about next steps... Ask God to teach you how to pray as the disciples did. Be a Seeker... And Step out in action... You Can DO IT!
