So many times I have thoughts about those in need of prayer, requests for prayer and just random thoughts that I want to write down. I usually get busy doing something else and then the request, or random thought gets lost in the wash of the day. So today I am starting this blog to put those who are in need out there and maybe others will feel compelled to join me in tracking the successes of my prayers. Please note! I didn't say successes and possible failures of my prayers. Why? Because ANY prayer lifted up to the throne of grace is a success. The act of lifting up someone that is in need is 99% of success. A prayer can only be answered if it is offered up to God. Once it is in God's trustworthy hands, then we are able to, by faith, believe that they are answered.
I guess now is as good a time as any to put in "THE DISCLAIMERS".
Disclaimer #1 - In order for me to blog about the things on my mind then I may use descriptions or even names of those who God has laid on my heart. So please don't be angry with me.
Disclaimer #2 - I have opinions on just about everything. They may not be your opinions and we may have to agree to disagree. The beauty of living in a country that celebrates it's freedom of speech is being exercised right here.
1. Today my heart is breaking for a family at church. I fasted and prayed for the miraculous healing of the dad. I will continue to pray and begin another fast to storm the gates of heaven with the belief that he will be healed.
You see - He has lung cancer and it is in a place that will not allow for surgery. Even though the devastation of hearing the "C" word and the turmoil that must be racing through each member of the family, I will continue to believe that this will be a testimony of God's power. The unbeliever will be amazed at God's mighty healing touch. This will be the beginning of a story that will be handed down through many generations to come! Praise God!
2. Lately I have been praying for my church. So many times there seems to be a void there. It seems as though we are pleading the Holy Spirit into people. Our interim pastor pleads with the church to bend it's knee at the alter and receive the blessing that God has for them. Oh how I pray for a Day of Pentecost for Family Tab Church. In my mind's eye I can see the flames of fire dancing above the heads of the members there. I can almost feel the rush of angels as they flood into the sanctuary. I pray for a rushing wind to blow through there and clean out the temple. Clean out the comfortable pew warmers! Blow out the pride and prejudices. Melt away the anger and the secret sins. Come Lord Jesus and remind us all of the model church that was originally conceived after you ascended into heaven. Revive our leaders and bring forth the elders to adjudicate the needs of our church. We are moving into a new season and in that season I pray for the model church to be be reborn.
3. Father, I want to thank you for a special lady in our church who touches my heart. Her name is Cathy. She is brave beyond measure and a true servant of your kingdom. Her spaghetti sauce is awesome and she feeds our bellies and our spirits through her service! What a kind and gentle spirit she is. Even though her husband is thousands of miles away serving our country, she keeps a smile and keeps on serving. Again - thank you Father for this dear member of our church. I pray she feels loved and supported during this time.
So until something else comes to mind I will close this, my first page, of my blog and wait on the Lord.
Sabrina
