Intercessory Prayer 3/31/08

Jesus must be at the center of all we do. All of our Christian activities must be in conjunction with our worship of the King of Kings. Only when we engage in heart felt worship of our Lord can a real and pure ministry happen. God is calling us to a place of JOY. We will have to contend for it at times but it will be worth the effort.

Lord cause these statements to explode in the hearts of those who read them.

Urgent Prayer Need

My neighbor Bob has throat cancer and has just finished radiation treatment and has one chemo treatment left. He is down to about 140 lbs. It is all he can do just to drink liquids. He can not eat food at all. His wife has lost her job due to a combination of time off from a broken wrist and because of Bob's needs. In addition to praying for Bob's recovery she has asked that we pray that she finds favor with the unemployment office. Due to Bob's needs she can not even take a new job at this time. She is very scared. God is greater than all of this. Father I ask you to strike in the midst of Bob and Linda's world. Show your love for them, comfort them. Show your power. For your glory I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus.

Intercession 3/10/2008

Tonight we prayed over some area ministries and pastors that are currently being buffeted by the enemy. Some in the the congregation spoke of feeling a heaviness so we prayed for them as well. We thanked God for what He did Sunday. There was little emotion shown at tonight's meeting but much was accomplished in the spirit.

Please pray for the following Pastors:

Tom Simmons (Salt of the Earth)
Bud Hoard (Destiny Harvest)
Tim Van Winkle (New Haven of Hope)
Larry Swan (Father's Glory)

3/03/08 Intercession

JOY
PRAISE
STRIKE
REJOICE

These four words formed the structure for our time of prayer tonight. The Lord wanted to release JOY into our midst and after fighting through a "wet blanket" that was preventing that joy from manifesting we did indeed experience the joy of the Lord. There was much shouting and praise throughout much of the evening with occasional blasts from the shofar. We sought the Lord and proclaimed INCREASE in many areas such as teaching, joy, laborers, gifts and effort. After praising and thanking the Lord for who He is and what He has done we asked the Lord to STRIKE in the midst of our schools, poverty, abuse and abortion. We asked the Lord for another Great Awakening and felt as though the Lord was assuring us He was already at work in that area. We REJOICED that He hears our prayer and gave thanks for the time those prayer would be manifested in our world.

Crying out for the lost

Lord, we cry out for our family members who are lost. Lord, they are your children - reveal Yourself to them. Lord, we cry out for divine appointments to lead our loved ones back to You - to know you - opportunities to show them that they are known by You and are loved by You. Lord, we strive to be more like you so that they might get a glimpse of how wonderful and beautiful You are and want that for themselves. And peace, Lord, help us to show them the peace that they can have for themselves - just by knowing You. Thank you for all You are and all You do. You are so good! You bless us in so many ways - we are so thankful! May we never forget or take for granted what You've done for us. Lord, we praise You and thank You and love You!
