Corporate Prayer

Our Papa has been working wonderfully through the corporate prayer times He began not so long ago. Revelation has been flowing in His people so freely. It's exciting! I want to encourage everyone who has not yet been able to join us to consider how to fit this powerful time into your family's schedule.

We're experiencing some "reality pains" in implementing this consistently, so bear with us as we seek His face for direction. Here's what we'd like you to do if you're wondering what's going on and want to be involved: Call Mona or me (Jan) to see if the church is open for prayer on an evening that isn't already open. On the days when one of us can be there, we will be. On the days when we can't be, there may be alternate venues available (like my house) for everyone who wants to join together. Tuesdays and Thursdays I'll be praying for half an hour or an hour after the meetings that night, so come on out if you're willing and able!

For those of you with keys to the building and transportation, we invite you to adopt one evening while we're going through the transition phase and open the building for prayer on one of those off days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday). You could post those days on this blog, or announce it on Sunday, or let Mona or I know so we can pass it on to those that phone, or whatever. That way we share one another's burdens and don't drop the ball on the good work that God has begun in the interim of receiving the fullness of His vision for Grace in this area.

And of course, the most important thing is to continue to choose to pray wherever you are, whether you're able to make it out to a gathering or not. Pray with someone on the phone like Holly and Kathleen and others are doing. Pray together with your family for the target areas given to us. Remember the foci He's given us: Restoration of family relationships through the tearing down of strongholds, and physical healing breaking through in our congregation and lives on a real and regular basis. The will of God is crystal clear in these areas and we know that faith begins where the will of God is known. Amen? (More on that later) ;)

God moves when we pray and I invite you to join me in my tenacity to P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens)!
