Wow Pastor Sheridan walks for PAC tomorrow and has raised $1,590. I walked last year and had planned to walk this year, but scheduled the WINGS breakfast prior to knowing their walk day.

DAILY PRAYERS:
Prayed for 66 members of my family.
Prayed for 18 prayer warriors by name
Prayed for 40 church members by name
Praying for the lost on our list by name at church this morning.

Prayed for the personal requests that have been confidentially asked of me to pray.
Prayed forgiveness of any sin I may have committed. I pray for wisdom, guidance and ears to hear and for feet to follow.
Pray for our church to be a house of prayer and the prayer life of the congregation to be elevated.
Prayed for the Salvation Praying Group to increase.
Prayed for the Power Hour of Prayer Group to increase.
Prayed for the new "Shield of Faith Prayer Group" if it is your plan, your desire.
Prayed for our women's prayer breakfast group WINGS
Prayed for church average attendance to continue to increase to 150 by the end of the year.
Pray for my dear friend Donna every day!

PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:
I praise God for the faithful that come out to Thursday night prayer meeting.

BIBLE READING:
Ephesians 6
A favorite chapter - the tools God has given us "THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD".
We need to put these on daily so we can stand against the wiles of the enemy. Our struggle is not with those of flesh and blood that we see every day around us - our fight, our struggle is with the unseen  rulers, the enemies, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (the second heaven).

 BOOK READING:
"TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY" by Bill Hybels
"I the Lord do not change." Malachi 3:6
"Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever." Hebrews 13:8
As I have been reading about God's power, I don't want to simply agree with the fact that He WAS powerful and all I read IS history not myth. I want to OWN it deep in my heart so that I can be bold in my statements that God's power is real today, as it was yesterday and as it will be forever. That right here in my city, my circumstances, in the lives of those around me - God is able to make any change He desires!
FACT: He was able to save 3 men from a firey furnace.
FACT: He saved David from the lions' mouth.
FACT: He gave 90 year old Sarah a child.
HE IS ABLE!  If I would have a tattoo that is what I would have on my hand, so I could be reminded every moment. Instead I pray that God will brand that truth on my heart. As Bill Hybels says in his book,  "A "prayer warrior"  is a person that is convinced that God has the power to do anything, to change anyone and to intervene in any circumstance. A person that truly believes this refuses to doubt God."

MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY/MY TIME OF SILENCE NOTES:
I feel that I am to meditate on God's power today so He can brand it on my heart.

Have a blessed day.
