The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer
There’s nothing more powerful than the prayers of faithful believers. Wednesday night Conley and I clinched hands as he asked the faithful seekers of the church to pray over us. Some were strangers, others we had spoken to a time or two, I must say I was very humbled. We ask that they pray for clear direction, that we could take off running in the perfect will of God. After the prayers had ended, while tears streamed down my face, the body of Christ came up to us and continued to encourage us. They had such love for people they hardly knew.  Friday night we had break through. 
Hallelujah!! Thank you Lord!
It’s been a long time a coming! 

 “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” - James 5:16

Verse of the Week

Romans 8:26-28 Message

Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Born Again!

Born Again!  I am always praying for Conley while he’s at work, specifically I ask the Lord to bring people into his office who need more than help ordering or finding an item. I ask that the Lord use his office for kingdom work, that heaven become real in his office, that the Spirit of God be present. Over the years Conley has had the opportunity to pray with people, he has been able to help people unload burdens, to release the weight they have been carrying, to help mend brokenness. While all this is great, yesterday heaven became even more real in his office when he had the opportunity to led someone to the Lord. Hallelujah! We rejoiced all night long! Now the journey of discipleship begins! "Therefore if anyone is in Christ [this is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature[reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]: the old things [previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away.  Behold, new things have come {be...

Who are you Imitating?

Who are you Imitating? Last night, as my 2-year-old daughter lie in bed she began yelling    at the top of her lungs,   “Bubba turn the light off, NOW!!”  I lay beside her stunned… thinking,  “OH my goodness, she is imitating me. Is that what I sound like? Shrill and overbearing? Please Lord, NO!”   But it was too late, I was already convicted.  Go ahead and lock me up and throw away the key!  However, I have to say I was encouraged today. I found her being WAY too quiet and began searching the house for her. To my surprise, I found her snuggled up in my bed with her baby reading her a bible story. Just like mommy does with her.  So I leave you with one question,  "Whose footsteps are you following in,  Christ's or the World's?" Because whether we like it or not, we are imitating someone.  Ephesians 5:1-2 (NLT)  “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear chil...

Let go and let God!

     After a challenging week of frustrations from situations that I nor we could control here's the advice Conley had to offer me.  "We are going to pray that God would break the yoke of judgement. Both judgement of self and others and replace it with the fruit of mercy and joy. "For we wrestle not against the flesh and blood, but against spirits and principalities and rulers in high places." Ephesians 6:12 People don't have a character problem, they have a flesh or a spirit problem. When you try to characterize and analyze someone and you decide to be their fix are you wrestling with flesh or spirit? If you want to change something about someone you love, activate the creator of change through prayer!! Wrestling with flesh becomes an exhausting burden to you , while warring in the spirit refuels and renews your faith." Today if you find yourself burdened with the weight of a situation, remember who your fighting against.  Finally, be strong ...
