Monday, March 8 – Day 20

Seeking His Glory in Evangelizing All Peoples
Seek God....that His people would reflect His great name.

What makes people NOT want to glorify God? It is “mind boggling” to me that anyone would want to “slip away” from God – yet didn’t I 30 years ago? Didn’t I accept Jesus in my heart at the age of 20 and then turn away?

It took me 20 some years to turn back to God. In those years of being selfish, self-centered, condemning and sinful how did I turn back? It was POWER of PRAYER! I had a wonderful Aunt who prayed for me for those years. I had a Mother, who knew that I was lost, but had to turn me over to God because she didn’t know what to do. Then one day this woman came up to me and asked me if she could pray for me! Yes, a complete stranger who saw that I needed prayer. That night I knew that I needed a Savior. God worked in my life that day, but of course many times in those lost years He was working, but I was so blind.

So, for anyone who knows a person who is back sliding, a person that is NOT giving God glory – STOP right there and pray for that person. Go to that person if possible and ask them if you can pray for them. You may be that “saint” that God is using for HIS GLORY.

Friday, February 19 – Day 3

The authors of our prayer guide promised us that our prayers would be jump-started to keep us from the tendency to “dwindle to cries for no more than our own survival” … From a tendency to “gradually shrink to selfish wish-lists concerning our own circumstances.” From what we have experienced to this point (I have looked ahead J) and from what I know is coming….they have done a GREAT job of giving us focus.

For three days my eyes have spent much time fixed on the names of the nations. I have found each one on the globe ‘so that’ I might pray with my eyes looking right on them! (I use the search mode on our computer when not easily found – Anguilla is so small it is not even on the globe!) Most of the Caribbean nations are so small; you would not think they could have much impact on the world UNTIL the Lord whispers the following:

What if….there was a revival on the islands?

What if….the people there came alive with passion for the living Christ?

What if….they lived a prayer, care, share lifestyle that absolutely NONE of the vacationers from around the world could miss? Could not ignore? Could not help but be touched by the power of the Holy Spirit?

Well, I guess you can imagine how I have been praying. Would you join me in praying for this kind of revival?

Would you join me in listening to the Holy Spirit as we go page by page these 40 days – listening for ‘how’ to pray for the nations?

If we do that, well, we become more and more a part of the answer to the Lord’s heart that “...My house shall be a house of prayer for all the nations…”

And so, we serve the cities around the world in prayer.
