“There’s Power in prayer if you'll believe, He's standing right there for you to receive;
for the problems you face, He's all that you need, there’s power in prayer. He's the God that
can’t fail when friends let you down, so cast all your cares on Him ‘cause I've found; He can
take the heart ache and turn it around, there’s power in prayer.” Well, that’s the song that has
been on my mind since the prayer service on Sunday night. WOW! What a time we had! I’m
convinced that the enemy of our soul has devised an evil scheme against the people of God by
oppressing them with a “spirit of infirmity”. As I declared Sunday night, “IT’S TIME FOR
THAT SPIRIT TO GO!” I am believing that the spirit of infirmity was broken and the Holy
Spirit of God was released to impact and control the lives of His people. DO NO ALLOW THE
ENEMY TO TAKE AWAY WHAT THE LORD DID FOR YOU SUNDAY NIGHT!!!!! Stand
your ground and believe the report of the Lord!!!! I am waiting for the testimonies from those of
you that were touched and ministered to by the Lord. You are made over-comers by the word of
your testimony…..
Sunday is also church membership day. If you would like to join with our church, either by
transfer or new membership, please call the office and give that information to our church
secretary (476-2977). Then meet with Pastor Terry at 9:30 Sunday morning in the CLC across
from the Church. Come in the door marked “Staff” and go straight into the long room. In
advance, let me say “WELCOME”!!!!!
Sunday is the deadline to turn in your Christian Education Evaluation Sheets. It is imperative
that we get those so we know who is returning as teachers and who is not. CAREFULLY and
PRAYERFULLY consider what you decide to do. Make sure that you are in the absolute will of
God. Sunday School is a vital ministry of our church in which we teach and instruct form the
Word of God. It also provides excellent small group opportunities. Should you have a desire to
teach and you meet the qualifications, please let Jonathan Atkins or Pastor Terry know. You
must be saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence in speaking with
tongues, faithful in your support of the church in attendance and a member in good standing,
faithful in tithes and offerings.
Prayer: “Lord, may our motives be only to please you. May we not seek to make a name for
ourselves. May we not touch your glory. May nothing be done for vainglory or human praise.
Stop, we ask, expose those who would preach for personal gain and profit, who would use the
gospel as means to personal fame and power. Give us humble hearts. Purify our motives.
Cleanse our hands and our hearts. May even the world praise us as having noble purposes.”
• TUESDAY - Pray that all we do all for “His Glory!” That we will join the company of the
anonymous (II Cor. 4:6, 15).
• WEDNESDAY - Pray that our motives will be pure – our lifted hands holy (I Tim. 2:8), and our
hearts unpolluted (Psa. 24:4).
• THURSDAY - Stop – and ask yourself the hard questions! Is it really well with your soul?
(Psa. 26:2; Lam. 3:40)
• FRIDAY – Genuine freedom and liberty in Christ, is the freedom to live guilt free and love
rich. Practice spiritual liberty today. Love liberally. Laugh. Smile. Let others see the joy of the
Lord – live only for Him (Phil. 4:4-6).
Window on the World: According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, from A.D. 33 to 1914,
24 million Christians died for their faith. Since A.D.1915, an additional 45 million Christians
have died for their faith. This
means that more Christians were martyred in the last century than all the previous centuries
combined.
Harvest Notes: He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
Jim Elliot
Bible Insights:
Psalm 24:3-5 - Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn
deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his
salvation. Psalms 66:18 - If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.
Consider This: In Buenos Aires, 550 believers met in a train depot at rush hour. They began
softly singing “hallelujah!” The atmosphere of the station was dramatically changed. They
boarded trains and fanned out into the city. They touched 7000 people in one evening. 6736
wanted prayer.
Prayer Principle: Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men,
talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.
Leonard Ravenhill.
Action Idea:
Do something good, really special, for at least two people, something that is costly in some way
– time, resources, pride, money. And do so anonymously. Leave only a note or a clue. Let it be
done for the glory of God. Choose one person that you know – a family member, a fellow
Christian, a missionary. Choose another that you do not know in a personal way or with whom
you have had some disconnect. They may be at odds with you or distant in some way. They may
be only an acquaintance. Do good to them and for them with no intention of personal gain.
