Matthew 18:19-20
If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.
O.k. We'll work on ch.4 tomorrow or Monday. This morning I'm just looking through my Bible reading over some of the verses I've circled and underlined, praying and talking to the Lord. I'm kind of just looking through these scriptures, waiting to see which ones jump off the page at me and sitting in the quiet to see if God says anything to me when I read them. Right now what is mostly on my mind is pancakes and 9:00 prayer time with Angela. Wouldn't it be great if I could incorporate the pancakes with the prayer time! lol That would be cool. You can see that this 9:00 prayer time with Angela, just 5 min a night is very important to me and it should be. We are going to do our best to hold true to that time together although we are not really together.
So many verses in the Bible make reference to the power of prayer and prayer in numbers with other believing people. I would also encourage you guys in your personal prayer time to try to find a scripture to incorporate into your prayer to give it that much more added power. I'm hoping that all of you can also find 5 minutes to stop what you're doing and join in with Angela and I at 9 p.m. every day and pray with us. My mind is set on me, Angela, Mia - Nick, Zarria - Savanah, Faith, Hunter - Tricia, Shawn. I think if we all make this a regular habit it will be rewarding and we will begin to see what an amazing difference it makes in our families life! It would be cool to see what God does for us. It could be like our little project! So what do you guys think? Every night at 9 p.m. grab up your partners, hold their hands, turn off the t.v, get alone together if possible and lets pray for one another- not ourselves but for the others in the group. I'm sure that God has amazing things in store for this family and we will see the fruits of our diligent prayer together before long. You just wait and see. Please inform your friends and family to get their own partners and chime in with us! Who knows, if we all wrestled two or three to dedicate 5 minutes at 9 p.m. and they wrestled two or three to dedicate 5 minutes at 9 p.m., you might be the start of something larger than your mind could imagine. The power of these prayers could move mountains!
Prayer: Father God, I hope and pray that these postings and our 9 p.m. prayers reach the hands of the people who need them. I hope that we honor you in doing this, that you will bless our work and carry this to the hearts in our family and yours, in which you need for it to go. Father God, I pray John 15:16-17 over all my family and friends. It says you chose us, and you appointed us to bear fruit and that whatever we ask in Jesus name, that God should give it to us. You command these things of us so that we will love on another and through these postings and prayers Lord I ask in Jesus name for you to grant us that we shall love one another and that we will be a light to the world for your sake. In Jesus name, Amen.
Random thoughts: My random thought for the day is I really want for my family, me, Angela, Mia, Zarria, Nick, Tricia, Shawn, Savanah, Faith, and Hunter to honor this prayer time, announce it at church, and encourage as many people as possible to begin praying with us for 5 minutes at 9 pm! Post it on facebook Savanah! Heck, if you post that on your facebook page it's likely to shut down the government!
