“PRAYER“

The following scriptures referenced with this second habit are related to Praying to the Almighty Father God and those in need of prayer.

We start with II Chronicles 7:14,15
14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.15 My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.

Matthew 6:6
But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

Matthew 7:7,8
Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 11:17
We played wedding songs,
and you didn’t dance,
so we played funeral songs,
and you didn’t mourn.

Matthew 21:22
You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.

Luke 18:1
One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.

Acts 12:5
But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.

Ephesians 6:18
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Philippians 4:6
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Colossians 4:2
Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

James 5:13-16
13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises.14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord.15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
16 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.

I pray that you will Pray in Spirit with each one of these scriptures.

Be blessed beloved!

Hello to all and my apologies for not posting for awhile.

I have been involved in so many things and then my computer crashed and I’ll just say that it’s all good now.

I just completed Discovery Training (8 weeks), Ministry Training (4 weeks) and a 3 day retreat, at my local church here in Texas and I am excited to begin posting what I have learned (discovered) about Scripture and Ministering (praying for people).

Beginning soon I will start to post the Discovery Process in the “Christianity” category.  This awesome process will awaken your mind, your heart and your soul.  Here is a sneak peek at the agenda;

1. An Intensity For God

2. A Heart To Win The Lost

3. Dedication To Building Relationships

4. A Disciplined Lifestyle

5. Commitment To Family

6. Sacrificial Giving

7. Worship and Equipping The Saints (Bonus #1)

8. Finding the Holy Spirit (Bonus #2)

Next, I will begin the process of offering Prayer to anyone who would like my Ministry Team to pray for them. In an effort to keep your requests private and confidential, you will need to Send Me Your Prayer Requests via the “Contact Me” form, listed under “Pages”. I will reply with the Prayers we will pray for you in response to your request if  you include your email address. I respect Privacy and do not keep email addresses.

For the brothers and sisters from countries outside the USA, who are using the translator, you will need to use the “Contact Me” form in English, for now, so you can enter the code necessary for your Prayer Requests to get to me. I will alert you as to when the translator plugin will allow the code to be translated so you folks won’t have to change the language to English.

Looking forward to getting this to you…

Steve

Jesus replied, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:37-39 NIV/NLT

Are you aware of the imminent danger America faces, as well as the rest of the world, from the Radical Islamic Muslims? If we don’t have a sense of urgency to help prevent what is about to start happening to our nation it will be our own fault for letting it happen.

If you haven’t seen Joel Rosenberg’s  9/11 Webcast yet then take time to watch it.

I urge you to WAKE UP AMERICA! We need to ORGANIZE our troops! Ok, enough for the rant, but seriously…

I just received this message from one of my favorite Prophetics and we need EVERYONE to pay attention, get involved someway somehow and mobilize NOW.

Convergence

It is critical that the church in America understands the times and what needs to be done now. The natural things speak of the invisible. Natural happenings on the earth are revealing something that is going on in the spiritual realm. There is a great spiritual conflict with a rising tide of Islamic boldness being manifested. Several happenings are converging this week. First of all, our President has recently proclaimed, honored, encouraged the Muslim holy days of prayer and fasting called Ramadan. He was very silent on the National Day of Prayer but very vocal on the support of Ramadan. Interestingly at the same time a major Christian leader of the Emergent Church called for forty days of fasting and prayer in the same Ramadan period with the goal that the church will better understand our Muslim friends. We are all for understanding but we must have spiritual discernment as to the spiritual dark powers that are being invoked into our nation.

Cause for Concern

At the same time, on the 25th of September, Muslims are calling for a Muslim Day of Prayer in Washington DC (http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/). They are calling for 50,000 Muslims to gather and pray on the DC Mall. This is the exact word of one of the Sheikhs who is leading this historic gathering, “Muslims should march on the White House. We are going to the White House so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into a Muslim house.” These are not empty words. They speak of a dark spiritual intent and a coming day of great trouble to America.

A Divine Moment

Now one of these events is enough to awaken us to this significant throbbing moment, but when they all converge it becomes a massive spiritual alarm that must be responded to by the praying Church. However, I believe in this moment of divine providence God has raised up on the stage of history a little “Esther” that if we pray and fast for her she could be a major voice to expose the dark under-belly of Islam and radiate a bright hope for a day of salvation for Muslims in America.

Headlines

On Monday, Rifqa Bary, a young 17-year-old woman, will be in the headlines of US news. Four years ago, while living in a very devout and radical Muslim home, Rifqa met Jesus in a powerful way as her savior. She hid her conversion, began praying secretly, and began hiding her bible from her parents. Then, on Facebook, her love for Jesus was exposed to the radical Muslim community in Ohio. Rifqa’s father demanded that she renounce Jesus or he would kill her as is commanded by the Koran. As a radiant believer in Jesus she refused to renounce her Lord and fled to Orlando where she was taken in and cared for by a Christian Church and family. Now, the father is appealing to the courts to bring her back under his custody. Major television networks have already covered her story. How must the Church of America respond in this moment for our sister who is a part of the Body of Christ?

A Major Sign

This convergence, I believe, is urgently summoning us in the midst of the rising tide of Islamic influence in America to recognize that our God is above every god and that if we return to Him with all of our hearts and call upon Him with fasting and prayer then God could use what the enemy meant for evil to bring about a great day of salvation for Muslims in America, of which Rifqa is but a major sign.

Here is The Call

First of all, we cannot be passive as a Church to let these kinds of developments go on without being challenged in the spirit. Our fight is not against Muslims, it is against principalities, powers, and forces of darkness. We are calling the Church of America at the end of Ramadan, from September 21st through 25th, to five days of concerted prayer. On Monday, we must pray that God would grant supernatural wisdom to the courts so that the testimony of Jesus would be proclaimed and that the best situation for Rifqa and her family would take place. We must pray for Rifqa to be bold in proclaiming Jesus that even thousands of Muslims would hear and be awakened to the love of Christ. She has already said that this is not about her but about many Muslims coming to Jesus. We must pray for her lawyers who are being bullied, threatened, and challenged on every side. On Friday, September 25th, the Muslim Day of Prayer, we are calling the Church of America to fast and pray that Muslims would be moved by the Holy Spirit, convicted by the testimony of Christ, and even be visited by Jesus in dreams. We must pray that God would restrain the spiritual powers behind Islam and grant us the great awakening that we desperately need for America.

Let us hear the call to prayer and not miss this moment,

Lou Engle

We need to get our country back to conformity to ideals of right human moral conduct and away from the lackadaisical immoral misfits and the socialists that are killing this country!

The time for  Christians to stand together and show the world that the Body of Christ is Alive and Well and march again on Washington DC is here NOW! Will you March with us?
