April 22, 2020

Today is a drizzly rainy day and I intend to clean house and bathe/trim Pebbles. However, I plan to go into prayer and give my day to the Lord first … so those plans might change.

DAILY PRAYERS:

Prayed for 69 members of my family.

Prayed for the Salvation Praying Group

Prayed for the Power Hour of Prayer Group

Prayed for 40 church members by name

Prayed for 50 lost people by name

Prayed forgiveness of any sin I may  have committed and I pray for wisdom & guidance

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:

I am so thankful that I got to spend time with Ray, Shirley and Doug yesterday in Ray's back yard.

BIBLE READING:

John 1:14-16 The Word (Jesus) became a human being and lived with us. He brought us undeserved kindness and truth.

BOOK READING:

I am reading THE SIMPLE CHURCH by Thom S. Rainer & Eric Geiger. It is exciting to see how a simple church can have a process for new believers that has a starting place and grows them into mature Christians. Our church is missing some of the steps. I pray we follow these examples.

Reading pages 124-128 WOW it gets me excited ... discussing what ever we come up with as a process, but I keep thinking it will be KNOW GOD, FIND FREEDOM, DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE, PLAY YOUR ROLE! I think it would be good to have a committee with a leader for each area overseen by Pastor - each group could make sure that their area is being taught, discussed and internalized by everyone at LebNaz.

MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY:

I pray that I might have a heart for the lost just like God does.

Help people know who God is today.

Day two of my return to being accountable to myself. During this corona virus isolation time I find I am either being very productive or being a slug. Where is the inbetween?  I am not happy with my routine so I need to be praying about my daily path.

DAILY PRAYERS:
Prayed for 69 members of my family.
Prayed for the Salvation Praying Group
Prayed for the Power Hour of Prayer Group
Prayed for 40 church members by name
Prayed for 50 lost people by name
Prayed forgiveness of any sin I may  have committed and I pray for wisdom & guidance

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:
I thank You for sunny days that I might be outside enjoying. I thank You for rainy days because it makes me appreciate the nicer days that much more. I thank You for hope, funds and the family to have fun camping.

BIBLE READING:
John 1:9-13 We become the children of God not because of nature or because of desire ... only because God is the one who makes us his children. He chooses us.

BOOK READING:
I am reading THE SIMPLE CHURCH by Thom S. Rainer & Eric Geiger. It is exciting to see how a simple church can have a process for new believers that has a starting place and grows them into mature Christians. Our church is missing some of the steps. I pray we follow these examples.
Reading pages 120 - 124 Talks about measuring the success of moving people from baby Christians to mature Christians. Our Breeze program will help with this when we get it all put together.

MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY:
Listen to the path God wants me to take today. He has been bringing evangelism to my mind every morning and I want to follow what He asks me to do.

First I watched a video by Francis Chan - Be still and know that I am God!
Then I read starting with the Gospel of John as it is the Book of the Bible that strengthens faith.
John 1:1-8 Starts right away telling us that JESUS is the WORD and the LIGHT.
