Dear Friends and Intercessors;
God is always there to hear and to receive our prayers; He is always available to us. He loves it when we come to Him, and He encourages us to seek Him out. In both the Old and the New Testaments we are told that that if we seek Him we will find Him (Deut 4:29; Prov 8:17; Jer 29:13; Matt 7:7).
People always ask, what is the best time to pray? If we look...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
Every once in a while I like to share about different prayer resources and prayer sites.
Peoplepray.com, The Intercession Superhighway (www.peoplepray.com) is a great new prayer site that exists to help people become more consistent, encouraged, and effective in prayer. It is an on line prayer management system that provides a lot of wonderful tools for you to use to enhance your prayer life.
On this site you can create and maintain your own personal prayer list, post...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
I had a couple great incidents this week where I was praying for a couple of friends of mine. While I was praying I was "inspired" to call each of them (one on one day, and another the next day). The purpose of this note is to remind us all of the power of prayer and encouragement. We don't always get responses when we pray, but there are times when the Lord let's us...

Parable of the Sower
Dear Friends and Intercessors;
In Matt 13 and Luke 8, Jesus teaches about the planting of the seed (Word of God) in four different kinds of soil, which He uses to explain four types of response in the hearts of people.
There is the seed that fell by the wayside, it did not get planted, because it was not understood and the wicked one came and stole the word away. Then there was the seed that went into...

In my days as a younger Christian I was somewhat caustic and judgmental, thinking I knew what the right way was and pressed my version of what following God was about. As I am growing older I have started to understand a lot more about the grace of God and how it is better to focus on the positive and look to the future. If we are always seeing things that are wrong it is so easy to...

One Thing
Dear Friends and Intercessors;
In the midst of a busy world that can be full of all sorts of distractions and troubles there is a place of hope and quiet

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
1 Peter 3:15 is a favorite verse of mine, and it seemed appropriate to look at this verse as we start this New Year in 2007.
New Kings James version
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
Sanctify is a great word, it means to consecrate, to set apart, and to dedicate to....

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
One of the things I am doing in this New Year of 2007 is getting back to the basics in many ways. While this post is not directly on the topic of prayer, it addresses how we live and think. If we can live lives that are more focused on the love of God, we can be confident that our prayer lives will be enriched and more effective.
A Simple Theology
While Christianity is deep and powerful,...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
Many start the New Year with resolutions to do things differently and better – and this is a good thing to do.  I know I like to engage in some prayerful self examination and take time to hear what the Lord is telling me doing in the New Year.
A great way to start off the New Year is to present our lives to the Lord as living sacrifices.
Rom 12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
This month is always a good time to listen to the Lord and hear what He has for us in the New Year. In this post I am sharing some of the burden I have and how I long to see Jesus come forth differently this year. It is my prayer that as I share this that we can join together in Him and agree for something new in 2007.
We know the need to continue...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
This morning I am sharing a note that I wrote yesterday in a discussion about the great amount of commericialism in Christmas. I love it how the Lord shows us things and then stirs up our hearts to pray and take action.
Jesus is the reason for the season.
Let us rise up in Christ and make a difference in the world today, Let us, each one of us step it up and even lead a revival in...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
Greetings to all of you in Jesus, may He bless each and every one of you abundantly.
As I write on this day before Thanksgiving I am struck and amazed by the wonder of our Lord, He has done so much for so many. He has rescued us, He has redeemed us, He has set us free, He has given us new life, and most of all He has taken us unto Himself and called us His...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
This week we will celebrate Thanksgiving and before we know it a new year will be upon us. Many take time during this part of the year to look back and purposefully remember all that He has done. As we recount the things He has done for us, an amazing thing happens, not only do we start seeing how much the Lord has done for us, but a renewed sense of thankfulness wells up in...

Dear Friends and Intercessors;
As Christians, we are members one of another in His body. When one member of the body has a need, whether from stumbling and sin, or a serious need for healing or provision, our place is to pray. To pray for them and pray for all those impacted by the need. In Christ we are members together in Him, as when one part suffers the whole suffers, just as when one part is honored...

Dear Friends and Intercessors,
Each year on and around October 31, people celebrate Halloween. So many around us are caught up in the things of the world and most don't understand what they are doing. As Christians we have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of these people as we pray for them and lift up the light of Christ.
We don't have to simply endure Halloween; rather we can let this day be a...
