PRAYER POINTS

I encourage you to look over these prayer points, and stand with us in agreement in preparation for this Sunday. It is going to be a great and I can't wait to see you all at Word Alive at 9 or 11!

THE HARVEST – Jesus tells us two amazing facts regarding ‘the harvest.’ The first one is that it is plenteous, which means it is massive, and abundant (See Matthew 9:38). The second fact is that Jesus is Lord of the Harvest, which means that He controls and is in charge of it (See Luke 10:2). Knowing the harvest is extremely big and that Jesus is totally in charge, what is left for us to do? Jesus tells us, to pray for laborers of the harvest! That means you don’t have to produce, manufacture, or generate a harvest all you are required to do is help gather it in. God promises if we pray, He will send the laborers, people just like you and me. Oh! what joy we will have in harvest time! (Isaiah 9:3)

DIVINE CONNECTIONS – According to Ephesians 4:16, the body of Christ “is joined and compacted together.” These two words tell us that not only are we connected, but we are intertwined with each other. I hope you know you have a divine connection. God himself has placed you in the body to not only be blessed, but to be a blessing! The term fellowship in the New Testament is all about grouping together with a purpose. The Lord wants you to be connected because His presence flows through all of us, in order that His body might grow up together! I promise you when you find your place in the group; life will be great! Why? Because Jesus said when you group together He will be right there in the middle (See Matthew 18:20).

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE AND GIFTING – The Bible teaches that when Jesus called you to salvation, He also gave you a gift (See Romans 11:19). The way we discover our purpose and gifting is through the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the Head of the Body and this gifting flows from Him to you (See Colosians 1:18). The lord is teaching us and revealing His plan and purpose to us. Abiding in Jesus, that is being in a loving and trusting relationship with Him, is how it all happens. Ephesians 1:18 offers us a prayer “for the eyes of our understanding to be open” so we can discover our purpose in the Lord. You have a purpose, and you will discover it as you continue to love Jesus and allow Him to love you.

Running The Race

This seventy-day devotional was birthed from many of the revelations that God has encouraged and sustained Kent and Bev with as they have continued to run the race of faith. Their desire is that it will inspire you as well. The number seventy means completion of judgment and to enter into increase. Individually, the numbers seven and ten express different aspects of perfection and completeness. As God continues to further His Kingdom by revelation of His divine purpose and plan for you life apply these principals to your maturation process. These are qualities that we all aspire to : perfection, that we are maturing in Him and completeness, that in Him we are whole.
