PRAISES AND BLESSINGS:
Angela Maddox, that I barely know ... in fact, not sure we have really spoken, but are facebook friends, saw my desire for chicken and dumplings and is bringing me Turkey and Dumplings today!
I do also feel blessed that JaKay also had some for me, but we could not connect. People bringing me meals is such a blessing. I can and do cook, but it is such a treat when I don't have to go to all that trouble just for me.
BIBLE READING:
Ephesians 4
So much to learn in this chapter about putting away the things of our old selfs and becoming a mature Christ follower.
BOOK READING:
"TOO BUSY NOT TO PRAY" by Bill Hybels
Today I read about the story in Acts 12:7-16 where Peter was not just imprisoned, but chained between 2 guards and because of prayer he was freed ... the story is amazing - but it is not just a story. As with all in the Bible, we do not get to pick and chose what we believe. This is not a parable told by Jesus ... it is fact ... if we believe, then we must believe and when we believe deep in our hearts - how can we not be amazed at the Power of God? He does this kind of thing today!!! I just need to look back at the answers to my prayers and there is proof!!! Father, I pray that You increase my faith, my unbelief! In the name of Jesus. Amen.
MY CALL TO ACTION TODAY/MY TIME OF SILENCE NOTES:
I spent quiet time earlier this morning and came up with the following as a suggestion from Pastor Sheridan and from the prompting of the Spirit ... I sent it to Pastor and will see what his comments are before proceeding.
“Shield
of Faith Prayer
Group”
This
is our new Sunday morning prayer group.
We
use
the Shield of Faith as the weapon, God gave us,
so
Satan cannot
derail our church
from being filled
with
mature Christians,
making disciples and being
effective
in building
His kingdom. The
shield is the
first
line of defense, it
guards, it deflects, it can
incapacitate
the enemy and there
is strength in
numbers
of shields!
We
need you!
We
will meet Sunday mornings at 8:30am in Hall 1
Room
2 to pray for Pastor Sheridan, for the service,
for
the worship team, for all our teachers and leaders.
We
may stay in the room, we may walk the grounds,
we
may go from class room to class room or
we may
do
some pew praying
as the Spirit leads us. Sometimes
we
forget just how powerful prayer is. We aren’t fighting
against
something imaginary. The power of prayer is so
great
it has the power to defeat the enemy
and his power
over
us. He wants to destroy us, but God wants to bring
us
closer to Him, to
give us an abundant life, to answer
our
prayers.
Prayer is our tool to win those
battles.
Have a blessed day.
