Pastor’s Request for Prayer February 2nd, 2012
Now may the God of hope
fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may
abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13 As we set
aside time last week to fast and pray I was greatly encouraged
by God’s faithfulness and by everyone who joined together. I
received several responses in regards to what God was showing
individuals and each person was encouraged that God had met
them where they were at on their journey with Him. It is my
continuing prayer that He would awaken us even more to the
power and privilege of prayer, which He has provided to us.
The mind cannot grasp the magnitude of His provision; that God
would come as a man, suffer, conquer sin, rise in glory and
then provide a way that we may
come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find
grace to help in time of need”
(Hebrews 4:16).
Personally, what I think is amazing is that I spend so little
time sitting at His feet, praising Him and listening to His
instruction. When I consider how He has changed my life it
draws me even closer to Him, desiring to know Him and His love
even more. This last week has really revived my prayer life.
The time spent was some of the best spent time of my life; it
was challenging, convicting, cleansing, satisfying and
difficult. In my
prayer time I was challenged, warned, blessed by Hebrews 3:12
which reads; “Beware,
brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of
unbelief in departing from the living God”. It is
startling to think I could depart from the
Living God if I
allow unbelief to grow within me. If we become insulated with
our own opinion; controlled by comfort and convenience,
consumed by what we want, captured by our own agenda then we
give no room for faith to grow. So in
closing I encourage you to respond to what He is saying to
you, what He is calling you to in obedience and love to Him.
Secondly, it is my desire that we grow in regards to prayer.
Every aspect of our lives needs prayer, that we would know and
experience the Living
God! I will
continue to send out emails occasionally in this regard and
would love to hear from you concerning what He is doing. Thank you!
“But without faith it is
impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently
seek Him”
Hebrews 11:6 In His Grace, |
